Thanks for recognizing the efforts we make in communicating on the ENSO blog. We think it's important to clarify our position given the "Godzilla El Nino" quote by a NASA scientist that has recently made its way into the larger media. When we posted on "Bruce Lee" five weeks ago ( link HERE ), we did so explicitly within the context of poking fun at the obsession with naming weather storms/events/etc. It was meant to be tongue-in-cheek and the ENSO blog team was not seriously proposing that El Ninos should be named. Whether they should be or not is really not our call and we agree that there are logistical challenges with such an idea. Thanks again for commenting and sharing your perspective!
