La Niña coming on the Pacific stage


Sometimes an El Niño is followed by average, or "normal", conditions. Other times, the Pacific switches to the negative mode, the La Niña, which can cool things off weather- and climate-wise in a hurry.

To silence the frigging climate skeptics, we need a record-setting 2010 in the global temperature category. The two things that could derail the heat train are a massive volcanic eruption (Eyjafjallajokull wasn't that), or a strong La Niña condition.

So we shall watch the Pacific equator.

Adios El Niño, Hello La Niña?
