Earth is 'experiencing a global warming spurt'
Guardian UK ^ | January 6, 2016 | By John Upton

Scientists say cyclical changes in the Pacific Ocean have thrown Earth’s surface into what may be an unprecedented warming spurt, following a global warming slowdown that lasted about 15 years.

While El Niño is being blamed for an outbreak of floods, storms and unseasonable temperatures across the planet, a much slower-moving cycle of the Pacific Ocean has also been playing a role in record-breaking warmth. The recent effects of both ocean cycles are being amplified by climate change.

A 2014 flip was detected in the sluggish and elusive ocean cycle known as the Pacific Decadal Oscillation, or PDO, which also goes by other names, including the Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation. Despite uncertainty about the fundamental nature of the PDO, leading scientists link its 2014 phase change to a rapid rise in global surface temperatures.

The approximately 15-year warming slowdown was linked to the negative phase of the PDO, which is also called its cool phase.

I think it’s funny how they come up with all of these names for what goes on in creation. They think they sound so smart, but they’re just observing, and have really done nothing.

Another planet hit the Earth way back when and created the moon and caused some local damage here too.....
I think more taxes should prevent this from happening again.

It’s obvious we need to raise taxes to solve this. /s

Tell that to the ranchers and dairy farmers in the Texas Panhandle and South Plains who lost an estimated 35,000 head of cattle last week in a deadly snow storm. They are still finding dead cows in snow drifts that were 12’ high. A third of the milk supply was wiped out when very expensive cows froze to death or had their udders frozen so they will not be able to be milked. Didn’t hear anything about that did you? But you did hear that the East coast was having warmer than usual holidays. That’s the globull warming bias at work yet again.

Global warming is caused by the sun.

No silly. They are going to put fireproof corks in all of the underwater volcanoes.

See?

Why don’t they just turn down the thermostat of the magma layer?

Nothing wrong with a little warming spurt.

Or a not so little one either.

BS

Since around Christmas my Weather Channel app has consistently reported our nighttime and morning temps to be, incorrectly, from ten to twenty degrees higher than our actual temperature.

Our outdoor thermometer is working correctly.

Yeah?

Since when? - yesterday??

Seems to me all the data REALLY shows there hasn’t been much of ANY climate change for the past two DECADES... At least!

"Did somebody say spurt?"

But what do the ducks say? That's the true "tell". ;-)

following a global warming slowdown that lasted about 15 years.

It's closer to 20 at this point but at last somebody on the AGW hysteria team actually admits it, which is progress of a sort, although none of the models they used to predict overall planetary warming actually predicted it. Presumably they're all better now. Geesh - and these guys call us science deniers...
