Rainy Alaska and Climate Change

Quite a few months ago, maybe even a year, Rolling Stone magazine wrote an article about Al Gore and climate projections.
The most interesting part of this article was the map insert--showing the "new" expected weather patterns....
Contrary to popular belief--everything wouldn't be "warming" , just changing.  Of course his projections did indicate that the central part of the nation would warm & dry out (and even worse for Mexico). However, the upper East Coast (northeast) and Northwest are to expect more rain. Especially Alaska.
The crazy thing about all this is, that the map was a future projection, but we are living this bizarre weather pattern now.
I know that folks back East have complained about their "new weather"--increased T-storms, or rolling thunderstorms all summer long. And us Alaskans are drowning in cold and wet summers. This is the third summer in a row where the rain pours down all day.  Our once beautiful Alaskan June, has been reduced to a cold and soggy mess. However, we do have lots of water--if only there was a cheap way to export it!
