We have just lived through a year of "weird weather", with a record dozen disasters causing over a billion-plus dollars in damages -- and this is just in the U.S.. The Globe and other media has written that weather is just "unpredictable", a period of "bad luck", an exaggerated El Nino: are they right? Is the weather unpredictable, or is it a pattern that we need to better understand?
Clearly, it is time to become more aware of the consequences of the changes that we are making in our atmosphere and oceans, and to start with a better understanding of how our weather is created.
