Global warming hiatus could last another decade

Results show an increase in heat sinking around 1999, when the rapid warming of the 20th century stopped.

"There are recurrent cycles that are salinity-driven that can store heat deep in the Atlantic and Southern oceans," Tung said.

When observations show the ocean cycle flipped, in about 2000, the current began to draw heat deeper into the ocean, working to counteract human-driven warming.

The cycle starts when saltier, denser water at the surface northern part of the Atlantic, near Iceland, causes the water to sink.

This changes the speed of the huge current in the Atlantic Ocean that circulates heat throughout the planet.

Changes in Atlantic Ocean circulation historically meant roughly 30 warmer years followed by 30 cooler years. Now that it is happening on top of global warming, however, the trend looks more like a staircase, researchers said.

This explanation implies that the current slowdown in global warming could last for another decade, or longer, and then rapid warming will return, they said.

The study was published in the journal Science.

Why didn’t they know this already? I mean the science was settled, right?

While back I read about some nut job scientist(s) that said the cause of all those tornado’s were the result of long haul trucks passing each other creating a whorl of wind that would rise and then, well, you know, head for the closest trailer park. (6am and just now having coffee - might be coherent later).

These “scientists” can’t predict next week’s weather with any accuracy. What a bunch of incompetents.

OwlGore purchased an ocean front mansion in California.

Obviously he doesn’t believe in global warming and the unstoppable rise of oceans.

Ha...make that a 400 year long mini ice age....

But don't worry...Obama is on this like a lazer....

"This was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow,and our planet began to heal.

Welcome King Barack "Canute" Obama the Great.....

...Obama issues an Executive Order to the Sun...

....to increase it's magnetic field....

and make a good crop of sunspots before elections in 2016....

(PhysOrg.com) -- Sunspot formation is triggered by a magnetic field, which scientists say is steadily declining. They predict that by 2016 there may be no remaining sunspots, and the sun may stay spotless for several decades.

The last time the sunspots disappeared altogether was in the 17th and 18th century, and coincided with a lengthy cool period on the planet known as the Little Ice Age....and lasted 400 years.

Good luck surviving with no electricity and GE modified seeds.

Thank you, Prius!

Have you ever watched ‘psychics’ doing cold readings? They fish around for hits. “I see someone’s dead mom”, Or “I see the letter ‘M’”. They trumpet every hit and either ignore their misses, or explain it away with some gobbledygook like the spirits are unpredictable. Seems like the global warming people operate very much the same way. Both are frauds, and for the same reason. (Hint: its the money).

In true science this “hiatus” in the global warming would be cause to discard the global warming theory as the actual data does not fit what was projected. However, global warming is dogma so there can be no questioning that the theory may have been faulty to begin with. Remember the theory was supposedly accepted by a consensus of “scientists”, the science is settled and anyone who disagrees is a denier (i.e. heretic).

Global warming hiatus could last another decade

When globull warming proves to be false, declare that it is a "hiatus". That way charlatans like alGore can continue to rake in millions from morons that spoon in his BS with both hands.

[Northern Yankee]

Even without your coffee you’re still one of the most coherent people I know!

[ExCTCitizen]

Oh no, the hiatus could last another decade? No, what will ENVIRONMENTALISTS do? I guess that they could find a real job...
