Hopefully I'm wrong, but if not - what time frame are we talking here?

Just as Phil Wilson was telling me this past weekend that Toronto has only received one snow fall this year, and the little white poop we got 'round these parts that same past weekend only hit us - and not the northern metropolis, because he only ran into snow in Comber while on his way west down the 401 - we get one here, in Windsor and are expecting close to a foot - while TO is set to receive a whopping 1-3 cm over the next few days. Toronto gets the poo, Windsor gets dumped on. I'm no meteorologist, I don't even play one on local tv, but I've noticed some weird weather patterns lately over the last decade - so what's the dealio Chuck Gadica? Give me a green screen I can believe in, a cloud covered map I can read. Who's this Doppler guy anyways? I know it must be hard to predict what wind and rain will do (I'd never try it) and you do get some things right, but...weather is going to happen regardless...so, what's the point...yet a warning is sometimes beneficial...I see...Let's just say I'm no Alfred Wegener or Wilson "Snowflake" Bentley (famous meteorologists), but... I can tell when there's snow on the ground. If it's raining everything gets wet. And if it's cold out I wear a toque. If I paid attention to and trusted the the forecast, I'd never leave my house. What? Ever since Al Gore, our weather here in the world has been flip-flopping mad. Yes, the caps are melting, but I don't think even the great ex-vice president to Bill Clinton turned smartest man in the world could have predicted such violent scenes. And I'm not just talking about the weather. But for now, we will. The weather, that is. Though the secretive yet most obvious cause to these changes in everything may be a mystery, it is also solvable. Excuse me? Is the, what we'll call - non-cause, just time moving along, and what we're witnessing nothing other than normal history of all that is? Mother Earth's natural progression as she chugs along in an unknown to man but precise cycle against time. And against us. And pollution. And baby seal hunts. And the Chinese population. And the Internet. And democracy. And crime. And terrorists. And methanol. And...everyone and everything inhabiting Earth because we all contribute, in some way (no matter how green you think you are) to the destruction of the world as we know it. Unless you live in a bubble on another planet in a box under the ground - then you have donated to the 'Kill Earth' fund. It's only natural, like a cycle. A wash cycle. If one keeps washing their clothes, over and over, then eventually they will fade, lose their appeal and comfort then eventually fall to pieces before turning to dust. Yes, of course. As Billy Joe Armstrong from Green Day would ask, if he were Planet Earth's personal advisor, Mother Nature- "Do you know your enemy? Do you know your enemy? Well, gotta know the enemy. Wah-hey!" Yes. Planet Earth does and so does the American Idiot - I mean Mother Nature. She does. Humans. Her non-related yet abusive step-children - and everything they create - and even things they don't. Obviously they're not related, for they are her stepchildren. Huh? Now, I'm no biologist or expert on much of anything let alone the environment, or Planet Earth's social life, or where the "Kill Earth" funds really go, but something is coming - is it not? How many earthquakes, typhoons, bad economies, hurricanes, bombs, tsunamis, republicans, baby-danglings, shark attacks, anthrax, Nancy Grace's, be-headings, reality stars, nukes, war, plane crashes, and North Korea's can one civilization endure? And I'm not talking about the names of professional sports teams nor of WWF monikers. No, I'm talking disaster. Natural or non. Or a mean combo of the two.
