Climatologists Report "Unusual" Swings In Southern Oscillation Index

[hatrack]

"Weather forecasters say a massive swing in a key climate indicator is unusual but there is no obvious link to the greenhouse effect.

The monthly Southern Oscillation Index readings have varied by up to 30 points.

Since December the index has ranged from -16 to +13, while in most years the index normally varies by about 10 points.

Such swings have only been seen twice since the 1930s; the last one was in the mid-1980s following a major drought."

Sorry for such a ridiculously short and uninformative post, but such was the article.

1. Of course no link to greenhouse effect cuz it doesn't exist.
