Im a firm believer that our weather/climate has gone through cycles of up and down highs and lows for eons. Some now shout about climate change because they can't say global warming. After all, the data doesn't back up that former conclusion.
La Niña usually means less rain and warmer winters for us, from more varied Pacific winds, which may be the case this year.
In addition, the polar winds seem to be missing us, but are hitting the eastern states hard.
But those Santa Ana winds going against the flow have hit SoCal hard.
It does seem to be the case that the average global temperature has risen a couple degrees Fahrenheit in the last couple hundred years.
That may not seem like much, but I think any change to the average global temperature over a 200 year span is very significant.
I expect a stable earth climate would never see any change in the average global temperature, as observed through seasons over 200 years.
