That is only a particle factor. The only reason the media mentions this is because to mention the other reasons blows a hole in the man-made global warming hoax. These reasons are periodically discussed in the Weather Club -- including unusually strong and broad trade winds -- which forced the ITCZ farther south where storms can't form because lack of Coriolis Force. This wind shift pattern change is being driven by a changing polar vortex which is giving Greenland record snowfalls. The ENSO and PDO are getting colder than forecast -- and the AMO is just starting to cool. Bottom line -- no one can forecast long term weather or climate because we barely understand what is going on now -- and CO2 is plant food.
