It is, for our home planet, an extremely warm year.
Indeed, last week we learned from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration that the first eight months of 2015 were the hottest such stretch yet recorded for the globe’s surface land and oceans, based on temperature records going back to 1880. It’s just the latest evidence that we are, indeed, on course for a record-breaking warm year in 2015.
Yet, if you look closely, there’s one part of the planet that is bucking the trend. In the North Atlantic Ocean south of Greenland and Iceland, the ocean surface has seen very cold temperatures for the past eight months:
What’s up with that?

At this point, it’s time to ask what the heck is going on here. And while there may not yet be any scientific consensus on the matter, at least some scientists suspect that the cooling seen in these maps is no fluke but, rather, part of a process that has been long feared by climate researchers — the slowing of Atlantic Ocean circulation...

it’s still global climate warming change. no matter what, it’s global climate warming change.

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.
So is this raw data, or has it been “adjusted” for calibration errors, precision & accuracy changes in sensors, land use, population changes. ... and whatever other factors they have to apply to get the results they need to support their agenda.
Test it for salinity, seriously. That’ll shut down the inevitable glacier melt theory.

The receding glaciation around Greenland is the result of warm water not ingressing into the temperature differentiations in the gradient underlying the movement of ocean waters over a vast surface of the ocean surrounding Greenland that results in the lack of distinguishing the two gradients that causes temperatures to be unevenly distributed, resulting in the defying of the physical properties of cold water and hot water caused by a lack of salinity brought on by large amounts of fresh water invading the area because of global warming heat meeting cold and not mixing adequately to cause amelioration of the lack of circulation of warm water over cold. See? Ya know?
In other words, George Bush did it.

I didn’t know Hillary was sailing in the North Atlantic.
I’m betting if you add the top quarter and the bottom quarter, (that don’t have temperatures documented) you may have colder temperature that average out the “hotter” temperatures around the belt of the planet.
Warm phase of the Atlantic multidecadal oscillation has passed and will be moving to cool phase. Michael Mann knows it, he just a denier!
Hottest? I think we had the mildest summer I can remember in a while for S Texas. We had very few over 100 day streaks.
So as the Northern Atlantic and Central Atlantic oceans reach an equilibrium point no more gradient exists and the poles can again get colder and the tropics can get warmer? What kind of sorcery is this?
