Tsunami cause Global Warming

Chief Jay Bob emails to point out local (to him) Chicago meteorology news:
AccuWeather said we were in for a fifth consecutive winter of above average snowfall, somewhere between 50 and 58 inches. In reality, just 19.8 inches of the white stuff have fallen, according to WGN chief meteorologist Tom Skilling, not only well below AccuWeather's prediction, but also 14.3 inches below the yearly average.

AccuWeather called for brutally cold temperatures for December and January, and slightly milder mercury in March. Nope. The period of December through February — known as meteorological winter — ran 6.4 degrees above average.
Hey, predictions are hard, especially about the future.  Right?  But hey, there's a good explanation:
Margusity was a good sport about AccuWeather's swing and miss, even offering up a retroactive long shot theory for the warm winter and recent heat wave — the drifting debris field from last year's devastating Japanese tsunami seems to be sending warm air aloft above the Pacific Ocean, which could be contributing to warmer temperatures here, Margusity said.

"If you match up where that debris field is right now with where the warmer than normal water temperatures are, they match up perfectly," he said ...
We desperately need global Tsunami Cap And Trade legislation!  Look, it's not at all surprising that tsunamis cause Global Warming.  Everything causes Global Warming.

Readers should know that Chicago's Tom Skilling is an outspoken critic of global warming, and openly declares it a governmental money grab.

He's also one of the more brilliant meteorologists in history. Worth researching if you don't know him.
