April is unusually cool evrywhere, even in the equatorial regions.
No one can explain it, not even the “Climate Experts”.
Try this on for size.
1) There is an emerging La Nina
2) It’s nearly certain that the Pacific Decadal Oscillation has flipped into Cold mode
3) Solar activity is on the wane
4) The long warm up after the Little Ice Age has been going on now for almost 150 years. This natural effect has to end at some point.
5) The even longer warm up coming out of the Pliestocene has been going on now for over 10000 years. It too must end at some point.
With all of this, any remaining human induced global warming effect may start to have progressively lower impact and at some point, may be overcome.
Some places are cooler and some are warmer (like out west). My theory is that the low number of sunspots has (somehow) energized the polar jet stream. It will freeze the fruit blossoms the same way it did in 1985 (also low number of sunspots). Lack of sunspots, however, does not appear to cause immediate global cooling, but in the long run it can (e.g. Maunder minimum).
