What's up with the weather?

Is it just a passing El Nino or is global warming getting real-er every day?? Well...the jury is still out. Or maybe we just try to find excuses and reasons to hide behind the finger. This year we had the warmest December month in over 80 years in upstate NY. Moreover, up until now (January the 5th)..still NO SNOW at all..which is odd indeed. On top of that, you have now 60 something (14C) degrees outside, people in T-shirts and unhappy skiers and snowboarders probably. The problem however is not so much about them but the dimension of the impact it will have on the population, ecosystem and planet overall. Perhaps it's a good time to really think upon this issue.
