A new study released Monday found that warming temperatures in Pacific Ocean waters off the coast of North America over the past century closely followed natural changes in the wind, not increases in greenhouse gases related to global warming.
The study compared ocean surface temperatures from 1900 to 2012 to surface air pressure, a stand-in for wind measurements, and found a close match.
"What we found was the somewhat surprising degree to which the winds can explain all the wiggles in the temperature curve," said lead author Jim Johnstone, who did the work while a climatologist at the Joint Institute for the Study of the Atmosphere and Ocean at the University of Washington.

Gore knows all about wind..... lots and lots of wind..
More hot air from that bunch, they made a mess of NYC Sunday
The Gore Bull warming nuts will not be happy with Zero C02 emissions and Zero take home pay. They will still want more.
It’s called weather.
Roy Spencer had a real interesting post on his blog:
Are Record Ocean Surface Temperatures Due to Record Low Wind Speeds?

We need to break that wind cycle!
“Are Record Ocean Surface Temperatures Due to Record Low Wind Speeds?”
Its those damned windmills slowing down the wind!
Wow, 1900.
Hope they downloaded all the satellite data from back then so that we can get a really accurate study.
President McKinley in one of his fireside chats told TV viewers that he's going to get to the bottom of this "changing winds" catastrophe. And called upon all of the best American scientists, like Albert Einstein to assist in solutions.
the global warmers claim all the supposed “heat” went into the oceans, but some oceans are cooler than before.
Heresy!! Deniers!!
Wouldn’t that be a real hoot!
First the NFL is backfiring on the libs, then their sweetheart wind gen...... Bad Day At Blackrock
