So I go on vacation to celebrate my birthday, and I come back to this?! Happy 21st to me indeed. I think I need to exercise my newfound ability to consume a cocktail or two.

DO NOT WANT MARISOL. I love Alana De La Garza, but please, the time for Marisol is over. The only semi-acceptable way they could include her is in a flashback. A supernatural ghost-like experience would be terrible. This is a show based on science. Whether or not you believe in ghosts or the supernatural, you have to admit including a ghost or a supernatural event does not fit in with this particular show. They tried it in Season 8, so now they can say they've done it once, and there's no need to do it again.
We'll if you believe in what Al Gore has said about Global Warming, this many be why we are see these big changes in the weather.
I don't know about Al Gore, but I do know that I believe in what 90-97% of scientists agree on- that climate change is "very likely" affected by human activity.
Speaking of the weather, so do not understand why some of CSI-Miami is filmed in L.A., instead of Miami. It's because of the climate, L.A. is not as hot and humid as Miami is, and two CBS has acres of studio sets in L.A.
I'm confused- are you saying you
do understand or
don't understand why CSI:Miami is primarily filmed in L.A. as opposed to Miami. It seems like you're saying you do, as you mention the favorable weather and the fact that CBS studios are based in California, and those are definitely benefits of shooting in L.A. rather than Miami. Another related factor is money- most TV shows are anchored in either NYC or L.A. It's more expensive to film on location because there are costs for transportation of cast, crew, and equipment (I suppose it's also possible to rent equipment on-location instead of paying for it to be moved, but that's definitely an expense). It's also more time-consuming, because of the extra hours/days needed for transportation, in addition to time needed to research a state or town's laws regarding filming in public places. It's likely the producers will have to apply for a permit and/or tax credit, which can take a while to process. Of course, the people who do all this research and applications for permits are employees of the network, and must be paid for the time and effort they put into it.
tl;dr- it's much cheaper for CBS to film in/around L.A.
