KILLING MOTHER NATURE: MORE FREAK WEATHER

Still think global warming isn't real?

Hell, it's been snowing right here in southern California, too--not in Hollywood yet, but up in the Grapevine there was enough snow and enough of it to stick to the ground.

Now it hasn't snowed in Los Angeles, proper (well, not at altitudes where people live, anyway) yet but it has been damn cold. Over the weekend I saw it hit 50 degrees outside--during the day--in March. It's never this cold in March--well, not during the day, anyway. It was also raining here last week--rainy season in LA is in January. It didn't rain at all in January--but it did in December. It rained early and then late and now we're experiencing the deep freeze.

The weather is seriously changing--we're watching it happen and, odds are, we're causing it.
