I is a scientist.

I thinks that there be a strong connection between surges in worldwide violence and month names containing the letter R, due to global warming.

Where can I get me a grant to study that?

Every year, my neighbor, a University of California at Santa Cruz Ag major and graduate of Brown University has intoned the import of El Nino or La Nina events as the case may be. Every year, I yawn and tell him it's just more grant mongering by a bunch of academic whores.

I have been plotting rainfall amounts on our property for over a decade. There is virtually zero correlation between an El Nino or La Nina year and the amount of rainfall. None. We have had both wet, drought, and average years worth of rainfall during both temperature extremes and moderate ocean temperature years. There may be some relationship between El Nino or La Nina events and weather patterns averaged over decades, but there is no predictive value in any particular year at all. None.

I have an old and slightly dented Delphic Oracle that I’m not using. For the right price...
