Since December 1996 there has been no global warming at all (Fig. 1). This month’s RSS temperature – so far unaffected by the most persistent el Niño conditions of the present rather attenuated cycle – shows a new record length for the ever-Greater Pause: 18 years 4 months – and counting.
This result rather surprises me. I’d expected even a weak el Niño to have more effect that this, but it is always possible that the temperature increase that usually accompanies an el Niño will come through after a lag of four or five months. On the other hand, Roy Spencer, at his always-to-the-point blog (drroyspencer.com), says: “We are probably past the point of reaching a new peak temperature anomaly from the current El Niño, suggesting it was rather weak.” I shall defer to the expert, with pleasure. For if la Niña conditions begin to cool the oceans in time, there could be quite some lengthening of the Pause just in time for the Paris world-government summit in December.
The hiatus period of 18 years 4 months, or 220 months, is the farthest back one can go in the RSS satellite temperature record and still show a sub-zero trend.
Given that the Paris summit is approaching and most “world leaders” are not being told the truth about the Pause, it would be a great help if readers were to do their best to let their national negotiators and politicians know that unexciting reality continues to diverge ever more spectacularly from the bizarre “settled-science” predictions on which Thermageddon was built.

El Nino. Hmmm. So it’s a hispanic thing?
To put things in perspective, it has been 36 years since that seminal report, and for the current half of that 36 years, there has been no warming.
The Pause That Refreshes.
When the planet is cooling you only get weak El Nino’s. And the world has been cooling since the peak 1998 El Nino temps. That is a fact.
lol
yeah but look at all the hurricanes it’s brought us lately?
Oh, that would be zera.
But what about the “scientific concensus of all the scientists” my Hysterion (Hysterical Moron) buds are always throwing at me?
The bottom line in climate change is I’m a helluva lot fradier of cooling than I am of warming. Animals and plants die out when it is colder on this planet, they flourish when it is warmer. Gimme the warming parts and my wife will be much happier. Woman is in a full parka when it drops below 75 degF here.
But each year is proclaimed to be the “warmest year on record” or the “third warmest,” etc.
El Ninos. It is not possessive.
