While his analysis includes a combination of factors, the biggest reason for this prediction is the weather pattern of the ocean. He says the appearance of El Nino in the Pacific indicates warm underwater temperatures causing water to easily evaporate and form in the clouds, creating stormy summers and frigid cold winters.
