In Topics: TV, aka Gov't Media Humor Global Climate Stupidity
No, this is not a Foodie post. You're thinking El Pollo Loco... hey, what happened to that fast-food chain? I liked that Crazy Chicken. This is not a movie review of one of those 1970's horror movies, here on Peak Stupidity - Hispanic either. Neither is this another post about Trump and sombreros, nor about Epstein's Fantasy Island*, nor even another Telenovela feature.
La Nina is a climate phenomenon, the opposing situation of the perhaps-more-familiar, El Nino!!
Somehow I had a picture in my head of that term being said by David Letterman, with at least 2 exclamation points, maybe even some upside down ones even. Ha, I came up with the following - from the looks of him and the banter, this must have been near the end... no, not of The Planet, but of the Dave Letterman Late Show.** The youtube United Nations (WTH?) description is the funniest thing due to its abject seriousness, Paul Shaffer is pretty good, and at least stick around till 02:30, as the 4th question to Mr. El Nino, aka Gerald Mulligan, cracked me up.
Where the heck were we? OK, as much as Peak Stupidity agrees with Bad Orange Climate Man that the Climate Calamity is indeed the greatest con job ever perpetrated on the world., we understand that some medium-term Farmers' Almanac scale climate phenomena can at least be somewhat understood and used for vague predictions. That's the case with El Nino and La Nina. They are not weather phenomena, as in a cold front passing through tomorrow sure to cause a big wind shift, thunderstorms, and, well, yeah, colder temperatures - and they are not global climate predictions, you know, the stuff that has never accurately predicted El Jack Squat - they are multi-month phenomena.
La Nina refers to the temperature in the central and eastern Equitorial Pacific Ocean (a YUGE area) being on the low side. This is said to cause colder than average temperatures and more precip - snow, we mean, cause, Winter - in the northwestern and northern US and warmer than average temperatures, dryer air, and less precip elsewhere. El Nino is the opposite, but per The Epoch Times as related by ZeroHedge, we'll get the former this Winter, but still with only a 25% chance of this phenomena being very significant: La Nina Is Here - Here's What It Could Mean For Winter In US.***
Somewhere buried in a number of our posts with the Global Climate Stupidity topic key, we've noted that Climate Alarmists have never replied to me on the question of "Are El Nino and La Nino being INPUT to the climate models or are they the OUTPUT of these purported models?" I mean, if you don't see it coming until you already have those Pacific Ocean temperature measurements, you can't exactly have it as an input. If it's an output of the models, why can't you tell us this long before the Climate Prediction Center does, like, this very Fall beforehand.
This kind of Climatology is real and sane. I enjoy learning about it. These Climate guys don't claim knowledge they don't have, but they predict as much as they respectably can, so I respect this type of work.
Yet, still, It's usually fun to check out the ZeroHedge comments. I haven't read them all****, but here are some good ones:
User262626:
Where I live, the leaves are experiencing such intense anxiety that they are turning yellow, red, and brown and then falling off of the trees. Does no one care? Shouldn't we give the trees a safe space where they don't have to experience such shifts in their mental health?
Enlightened1:As a retort:
That idiot Noah built an ark when he could have simply paid more taxes to avoid climate change
Oxygen Likes Carbon:
It was a ****ty cruise, rained a lot, but they had a great buffet. I had two of everything.
Same guy:
La Niña is the trans version of El Niño (after the surgery, which was done in Mexico)
Pure Blooded:
Fake news, Al Gore told me snow is a thing of the past in this warming world. Looking out my window at the snow in the mountains here is Utah is nothing more than a glitch in the matrix.
Climate Denier:OK, not as funny as Paul Shaffer...
Weather forecast this is the only profession where they are wrong 90% of the time and considered still a expert
* O/T of this post, but I noticed I missed, OK, had forgotten about, a big post from late '21 about the whole Epstein thing, the one linked-to above, when I wrote the more recent one, Jeff Epstein's Fantasy Island: clients, personnel, and the point last Summer.
** Just found it, '07, but, yes, there's a Donald Trump joke..
*** Yes, I even took off ZH's accent marks. Sorry, this is America. That's how we roll, and we don't roll our "rrrrr"s.
*** That's just another great thing about The Unz Review comments - you know how many are there. These types, with the uncertainly-ending [MORE] links, don't. I could be on one of these threads all night, so I have to call it, randomly.

I will now post links to some vintage collages of “The Women of the Weather Channel”….What? You say this is not that kind of website? Okay okay, I’ll get serious. The essay and video are quite funny - - thanks - - but meteorology is interesting! (Even though, in the phrase of physicists who challenge String Theory, it is “not even wrong.”) In Junior High the “advanced class” had so much time on its hands that they taught us weather science as part of the “rocks for jocks” science curriculum. I met a few smart gals along the way in my day but none of them was impressed by my weather knowledge…”Look …a shelf cloud!”. The heck with them…I loved that shelf cloud.

We still have Pollo Loco restaurants in Florida … Back in Europe, KFC is popular with the migrants because it is Halal. Don”t know about Pollo Loco.
One of the joys of owning homes on two continents is learning to do DIY in metric and imperial measures. I finally got around to repairing the tiles that lifted off the substrate after Hurricane Nicole inundated my entry foyer in 2023. They didn’t loosen immediately, but it became noticeable over time.
This year, we arrived with two hurricanes off the coast of the US, but both were steered away to wash out my friends in Spain. We did, however, have nearly two weeks of rain. My Florida neighbors tell me it was a dry summer, so they were happy to see the rain. It was funny, however, to see the automatic sprinklers at the house across the street going full blast in the middle of a heavy downpour. Hey follks, if you invest in a watering system, toss in a couple bucks for a moisture sensor.
La Niña probably means a wetter winter in the North, and perhaps a dryer South … I guess I will find out when I come back in December … assuming WW3 hasn’t gone kinetic in Europe by then.
I have never heard more than 30 seconds of Alex Jones, but just watched two hours of him with Tucker C. Worth a listen.
