Thailand Floods, Ya' ain't seen nothing yet!

According to some soothsayers, this years floods in Thailand are a minor preview of what is yet to come.

One local prediction has it that flooding will be even worse next year.

The end of the world as we know it has been predicted as long as man has walked the earth.  So far it hasn't happened.

BUT
Somehow the prediction of
'you ain't seen nothing yet,'
made me pay attention.
That same source predicted unusually cool temperatures, some eight months ago.
Looking across the globe, that prediction has already materialized.

Next year's forecasts are all over the map everything from normal to severe cold to severe hot. Depends which agency is doing the reporting.
The answer will come right around Christmas.  That's when the heating ocean waters give birth to El Nino.
That's the mischievous little boy responsible.  It's said that he's been getting stronger with the help of global warming.  If you believe in that sort of stuff...
