Rightly or wrongly any egress of the Peruvian current across the

Their root causes however, are a completely different thing. And of
course one of us has the answer to that.

Or not, as the case may be.

What is the volume of the troposphere?

How much energy is required to raise the temperature of that much gas
0.5 degrees C?

La Nina is a cold spot. I forgot. Sorry.

Which begs another question for another poster here who mooted its
connection to thunderstorms. Do equatorial water breed thunderstorms?
Anyone?

By the by, am I the only one here who thinks the original premise is
codswallop? I must have missed out on all that careful conditioning

Still, never mind eh?
I'm here now. Let's see if I can fire up another brain cell.

****. I thought I had a spare. It turned out to be ear wax.

Anyway, whilst I still have some resonance in the one I am using:

If low pressure areas are warm pressure areas... no that's not right.
Seeing as warm water imbues the cyclonic spells with.. hmm... that's
a tricky one. Anticyclones are the warm ones aren't they...

I think I had best quit this thing.
