Global Warming on Free Republic here, here and here

It's now widely acknowledged that global warming stopped something like fifteen years ago. Some experts had been thinking that it will start up again, perhaps even this year – but a new report issued by the UK Met Office says that the so-called "hiatus" could actually persist for some time yet.
The Met Office climatologists say that the long-awaited El Nino is finally brewing in the Pacific, which ought to heat the world up noticeably. The Pacific Decadal Oscillation, another mechanism active in the Pacific, also looks set to warm things up.
Unfortunately for people desperate to see a return to a warming world (for instance at the Met Office's Hadley Centre for Climate Science and Services, dependent on global warming for its raison d'être) there's a third powerful mechanism in play: the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation, or AMO, which varies up and down on long timescales.
The AMO has actually been heating the world up since the mid-1990s, but now it looks set to swing into a negative phase and cool the planet off, probably for a long time, as AMO phases typically last several decades...

There are probably 5-10 scientists in every generation, going back to the time of Aristotle. The rest are rote-educated, crowd-following yahoos.
Engineers... now that’s a different story. But actual scientists? I wonder if we have a full 10 today.

Thank you for the list ping! Sorry I didn’t know to give you a heads-up, but I’ll do that from now on.
Generalization alert...
Engineers are paid to design, invent, produce... if they don't do those things, they are out of a job. (I say that as a lifelong engineer.)
Scientists are paid to research stuff. They don't have to produce a damn thing, and the research may be just as well funded as if they did. It's all about getting the next grant, and getting their grad students to write papers for them about their research. To say the pursuit of grant money biases their research is like saying that the air biases their breathing.
I have great respect for true scientists. As you say, they are few and far between.
Today's grant mooches? Not so much...
Good observation. Things like el niño and AMO might provide a catalyst for local weather events, similar to the way warmer or cooler water in the Gulf affects hurricanes, but on the global scale, it’s the sun that overrides everything else.
Rochester will regret piling all that snow up last winter. It hasn’t all melted yet, and indeed will go down in history as the beginning core of the Rochester Glaciation.
...or maybe not, but in any case, it is/will be caused by Global Warming.
Yes, summer's a "hiatus" ...
Great post!
I thought some places still had snow piled up but wasn’t sure. Been a while since I heard anything. I know several areas had record snowfall, Boston and New York both had it piled up anywhere they could put it, I think it was Boston that finally banned people reserving parking spots, it got ridiculous.

Try to watch the documentary “Dark Winter. Documentary based on the book by the same name by climatologist John Casey. He can explain things better than I can, and remember more details too. I’ve seen it a couple of times, very good stuff pertaining to what’s actually happening with “climate change”.
