So why should we believe you THIS time????
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.

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!
They’ll try anything.
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...
“What may be” are the key words here...since they indicate that it may NOT be as well. Will be is one thing; maybe is quite another.
The ocean cannot warm the atmosphere without cooling itself.
So are the Paris accords going to address the PDO? When El Nino goes away this Summer watch the temperatures start to go sown. What percentage of Scientists attribute GW to the PDO? Notice that the article admits to the 15 tear lull in GW.
You have been pinged because of your interest in environmentalism, alarmist wackos, mainstream media doomsday hype, and other issues pertaining to global warming.

I love when writers prove they know nothing by statements like that. The reason that negative PDO is called "cool" is it results in temporarily cooler temperatures in much of North America. But there are two other things negative PDO causes:
1. Global warming (for the most part)
2. Large amounts of heat transferred through the Bering Strait and via teleconnections into the Arctic where it melts the ice.
Since we have seen only modest warming, we can pretty much say that manmade warming is pretty minor since there was also potential added warming from negative PDO to some unknowable extent.
The important thing to remember is that the effects are not linear or constant. At first negative PDO delivers some global cooling. But that turns into global warming over the longer run of negative PDO. The reason is pictured above, mainly surface warming effects for the planet as a whole.
