10. Global Warming cuts short my winter

It's actually El Nino.

It's actually Climate Change.

No it's not. The warm anomalies in the Pacific Ocean began the phase of El Nino early this year. It caused the 2006 Atlantic Hurricane Season to be very inactive, while the Pacific saw more storms. El Ninos also create harsh weather in other parts of the world, including more mild winters for many Eastern states in the USA, and more storms for the Western and Southern states.

Forecasters think that this El Nino may begin a decline, and make the 2007 Atlantic Hurricane Season a busy one.

The last El Nino event this significant was in 1997-1998. The 1997 Atlantic Hurricane Season saw very few storms, while the Pacific saw many. There was also both a harsh and mild winter. The El Nino lessened, and the 1998 Hurricane Season was a very active and deadly one, with Hurricanes Georges and Mitch killing over 12,000.

It's not climate change. It's natural weather patterns.
