Is there a such thing as 'seasons' anymore?

The weather in this country is officially schizophrenic. I don't think there is a such thing as 'seasons' anymore, or even, regional weather. Here in Philly, the weather was in the high 80's last week, and I was too excited to pop the tag off a pair of cute fall-like shorts (the kind you can wear with boots). Just a week later, it is barely 70 degrees and I have on a hoodie and a jacket. Although it is almost mid-October and fall is long overdue, I, nor do I think anyone else, was fairly prepared. This unpredictable weather is happening all over the country, and while many were happy with the extended summer-like weather, I was thinking about global warming. This is an issue that the U.S., its citizen, and the larger global community, must take seriously, now. How many more national disasters, such as, sunnamis and tropical storms need to take place before we see the dreadful inevitable ahead. A piece of our earth atmosphere, that protects us from the suns uv rays and such, is disenegrating at a increasing rate. We think its hot now...
