If you are a journalist for WAPO you have probably never heard of the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation or the Pacific Decadal Oscillation so, you call it a blob and attribute it to, “science”.
Basically; ocean temperature trends which vary over decades and are critically important to climatology. If these should both turn cold at the same time the global warming crowd will need to start recycling (hyping) the ice ball earth crap from the 70”s again.

I was trying to explain this to someone that was concerned about the warm “blob” off the NW coast in the Pacific this year.
But “blob” just sounds so much more mysterious and omminus. Ooo - and this is “The blob that came from the Deep.”
