Default More Rain Forecasts......More Drought

We have put it into perspective, and the prognosis sucks. You should


realize that even if you lived in Death Valley. Try using some

perspective
yourself, Dave.



It's foolish to think we can predict extremes in climate, especially
for this area. We have no idea what kind of drought and heat Oregon has
gone through in the past 50,000 years. Everybody's flipping out and
linking the recent lack of precip with global warming. This kind of
'abnormal' weather is perfectly normal and part of the natural climate
cycle in the northwest.



We are talking about a minor change in the weather, not about
the climate, that has NOT changed at all.
