It is not just my part of the state, it is throughout most of the state and it has been raining all week. Note that the article that John posted here that started this particular discussion suggested water shortages in the Western USA! Maybe in the North West, but definitely not in the West and South West this year!!!

I agree that excess of rain is not good either, but what we are observing now does NOT meet the criteria that the global warming supporters wanted to suggest in that article! That is the point...

IMHO, what we are observing is more like GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGES AND GLOBAL EARTH CHANGES. To classify these changes just as global warming based on greenhouse gases is what is naive at best!!!

IMHO what we are experience is a lot more LIKE AN AGE OR EVEN AN ERA MACRO CYCLIC CHANGE! This is what I have been suggesting here several times now...

Earth is not a closed system...
