Your veggies secretly talking to mine? We’re up in the SF Bay Area on the peninsula. Got my FIRST ripe red pepper this week — almost September! Planted them in April, for crying out loud. Had one 100 degree day this week, then the high today is going to be 68. Almost time to light the fireplace.

The big trouble is credibility..
all of these people have lost credibility in whatever information they put out, even IF it somehow was actually true.

“If all we had was data the interpretation would be ambiguous as to what causes what. However, we also have climate change computer models...

Yeah, let's drag those models out again, dust them off, and use them to interpret the data. But wait, those models were built on massaged data to begin with, and they can't even predict past conditions. But, hey, anything to continue the grant money.

And so do I. What I see this as, is nature doing what nature does. It’s cyclical and natural. It’s not something to write articles about with titles, “El Nino type: Worse Than We Thought”

I’d suggest something like, “El Nino Changes Are of Interest to Scientists, Could Portend Interesting Weather Cycles in Near Future”

About five to seven years ago, we couldn’t get a weather forecast without the Meteorologist explaining that El Nino or El Nino were responsible. After a while, it was a given. We didn’t need to be hit over the head with it for another five years.

It’s just annoying.

We survived before we knew there was an El Nino and El Nina. Somehow I think we’re going to pull through after the discovery too.

That’s not aimed at you BTW.

Take care bud.

I would say that the observations of El Nino and La Nina have not occurred over a sufficient period of time to even begin to predict their behavior. Nor do I believe that all the factors affecting their behavior have been revealed yet. To observe that the center of El Nino has shifted and then to conclude that it is occurring because the concentration of atmospheric CO2 increased from ~250 parts per million to ~330 parts per million is ludicrous.

Instead of automatically assuming that everything I observe is a result of “global warming”, I would be asking questions (aka formulating hypotheses). For example, the ground under Yellowstone has been bulging over the past few years, for unknown reasons. For the ground there to bulge, the ground somewhere else must be sinking. Could that shift in the Earth’s internal distribution of mass be responsible for the shift of the center of El Nino? We don’t know. Sloppy science isn’t going to tell us, either.

In closing: It’s the end of the world as we know it. And I feel fine.

El Niño, Spanish for “the little boy,”.

Actually, El Nino is capitalized because it names the Christ Child, as the phenomenon occurs roughly around Christmas time.

That's what we get for letting journalists attend unaccredited schools.

A recent study found many climate models predict....

So somebody got grant money to study the output of climate models created by others who got grant money. Interesting. Since they have been shoving these model results under our nose for about a decade now I would love to see a real study of the accuracy of these models to date.

...many climate models predict such events will become much more frequent under projected global warming scenarios.

Of course they do, I'm pretty sure that you can take any observation and then go back and find several warming models that predict it. Being a warmist is painless and easy, all observations support your theory and you never have to own up to your past errors.

You know that they way you can speed up the ripening process with tomatoes and peppers is to put up a green house around them.

NOAA must have been using the satellites that were showing Great Lakes at 650 degrees.

Sorry, "el nino" means the little boy. "El Nino" means the Christ Child.

Boy, they try to bury Christian references wherever they can.

My reaction at this point; yeah, yeah, whatever. Just don’t tell me that I am going to have to pay/reduce my freedom/change my lifestyle to make it “better”.

It is refreshing to see NASA take a new approach in reporting a bit more accurate and perhaps honest information.
The gigs up. Were into global cooling cycle. Hopefully Gore and all his buddies will loose big time monetarily as well as authoritative in due time. When people not accustomed to wading through a few feet of snow do so they will start to wise up to this scam.

This is off topic, but seeing as how warm the thin veneer of sea water is in relation to deeper and much colder water (re: your charts), makes me think about the sub sailors who venture forth in those cold depths. Without running what ever kind of heaters they have, it looks like it would get mighty cold down there!

Conversely, in the Pacific war, when our old WW2 subs went deep, they probably had a welcome reprieve from the hot steamy weather on top.
