So true Tom, we in Africa experience the impacts of El Nino and La Nina climate patterns, with a cycle of 2-7 years affecting our weather patterns. The impact on local fisheries may well be an indicator of worse things to come with warming oceans an indicator of the beginning of a new cycle. Parts of South Africa have experienced a severe drought with the accompanying impact on agriculture.
Yes, the El Niño/La Niña pairing is a great example about underlying-pattern versus visible-change - thanks as always for your comments here, they really do help!

My pleasure Tom, as always I really enjoy these posts on a weekly basis, as it keeps the old noggin thinking.
