This year, thus far, has been one of the driest years on record.

Here in my neck of the woods, we haven't seen so little rainfall in over a hundred years. Riverside County, to be more exact, only had 1.93 inches of rain in all of 2006. It hasn't been that dry since 1883.

So, where's all the rain that Al Gore promised us?

The warming of oceans is supposed to produce an abundance of rain. It's supposed to turn the south west, which is naturally a desert region, into a topical zone similar to the Amazon.

The lack of rain is caused by a cooling of the oceans.

Come on Al! All of SoCal is counting you.
