Global warming - which is demonstrably true - is causing and
will increasingly cause more erratic weather:  more storms,
more frequent storms, and the weather will be more erratic
in general.

Scientists, oil-company executives, and everyone in general
still argues about the CAUSE of global warming, but I do not
think that there is the slightest disagreement about the
FACT of global warming.  

So - maybe it's cyclical (I don't believe it, I believe it's
man-influenced at the least, but maybe...)  

In the really long terms, hundreds of years from now or
thousands of years from now, maybe it will swing back again.
Most of us, though, are worried about a shorter term than
that:  the next 50 or 100 years at most.
