Looks to me like your bubble has been bursted.

I'm not trying to take sides here but almost every time they claim this will be an "El Nino" year their prediction goes bust.  And the same is true in reverse.  This speaks volumes to me.

Insulting the forum host - always a great way to make people take you seriously.

Not.

You might want to get your vision checked. Get those blinders removed while you're at it. When you get your vision checked, be sure to have it done by someone with the proper credentials, not just some guy with an opinion.

Yes, you are taking sides, just like everyone else who starts a sentence with that phrase.

Your claim would be one to be taken seriously if you had some actual facts to back it up. Got any?

Your lack of facts to back up your claim speaks volumes as well.

Like they say, the proof is in the pudding.

Opinions ?  You seem to be full of them.

As Moby said, insulting the host is never a good idea. I respect people's right to differing opinions, but not to insulting me, or creating sockpuppet accounts to make it look like there's more than one person supporting a position.

Sorry, but you just lost your place in line.

NOAA: Major El Niño Still on Track

In its latest monthly outlook, issued on Thursday (see PDF), NOAA continues to project that the ongoing El Niño event, already close to record strength for August, will at least approach the highest overall strength observed at any time of year since 1950. As of last week (see PDF), sea-surface temperatures across a key part of the eastern tropical Pacific called Niño3.4 were running 1.9°C above the long-term average for this time of year.
