Must be because of global warming.  

Obviously this can't be a normal planetary event.

Obviously this can't be a normal planetary event.

What is with the Category 2 rating? Have the ratings changed? Due to global warming, weren't the meterologists expecting Category 6 continental destruction storms? Maybe that is next year. Of course, sunspot cycle 23 is still waning, cycle #24 which is supposed to be the solar equivalent of Katrina, has not yet begun.

My, My!
