When Tennyson writes in In Memoriam of the way in which somebody can say, «I have felt», he is not describing
a distortion of human understanding nor is he commending sheer irrationality.
As I
understand it, if (for me to push it to an extreme), El Nino increases to a «permanent» state because
of (
human) AGW - global warmingclimate change, climate
distortion, etc., you will still have the potential for a few hurricanes even in an El - Nino environment.
