But I tend to think climate cycles are not as regular as it sometimes looks.<br /><br />The new cycle could be starting ...<br /><br />... or it all could just be an artifact or chance. <br /><br />I note that the temperature anomaly differential between the two hemispheres seems to be closing recently - almost the same now.Bill Illisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2220966763638300672.post-84237153544684333472009-05-03T04:32:00.000-04:002009-05-03T04:32:00.000-04:00I haven't read anything about the South Atlantic, ...I haven't read anything about the South Atlantic, John.
