Still some. But less frequent.
We used to have a lot until Katrina.
How many times in the last ten million years has this happened?
The Great Lakes were formed by giant glaciers, Sahara Desert has river beds and the Mediterranean Sea had pretty much dried up.
Our climate has been everywhere even before humans existed.
Maybe the melting of huge ice sheets on the north and south poles are the cause. That would certainly affect ocean currents.
Prior to May the Atlantic was warming more than usual and the alarmists were sure we’d hit some tipping point, not to mention a flurry of powerful hurricanes guaranteed this season. Now it’s cooling and they don’t know why, any more than they knew why it was warning so much. May well stifle the hurricane season and do violence to all the experts’ predictions. btw, la niña isn’t an Atlantic phenomenon, any more than el niño. The writer is just guessing here.
Listen to Joe Bastardi explain why the Atlantic is cooling on his Saturday Summary from this past Saturday at https://www.weatherbell.com/
And globull warming hasn’t a thing to do with it!
Translation: we need millions more in Federal grants to study this finding.
6 months? They cannot predict 6 days accurately, many times they get the next day wrong. Billions in satellites, all sorts of equipment, personnel, and it’s still a crap shoot. I look at the sky, and follow the 12 hour radar and don’t plan too far ahead. Nothing worse than a forecast that predicts a beautiful weekend, so you make plans and it pours.
Our climate follows solar cycles, which reverse about every 30 years.
The solar wind blocks cosmic rays from reaching the planets to an extent. Our heating and cooling cycles are matched by the inner planets. The stronger the solar wind (sunspots) the fewer cosmic rays. Cosmic rays induce cloud formation in the upper atmosphere, cooling the earth. Fewer sunspots, warmer earth. Solar cycles being about 30 years, you can go back and match it to our warm and cold cycles. Around 1900, everyone thought we were going into an ice age. 30 years later, the dust bowl. And on and on.
Michael Mann and his cabal knew when the cycle was going to change, and made up his hockey stick to take advantage of it.
Newsflash: Scientists Confused, Nobody Surprised
My belief is the sun went into an extended period of minimal sunspots, causing cooling as explained in my last post.
Most likely it is because the data is flawed. Also maybe purposely manipulated in order to apply for a grant to do further studies.
Weather forecasters = Lucy. “Yeah Charlie Brown, I promise not to take the football away this time when you try to kick it.”
chiller....So Perhaps some of the undersea hot near surface magma has been emptied out in southwest Iceland eruptions, leaving the sea floor a bit cooler and this resulted in less heat transferred to the ocean surface?
Or, perhaps this year's multiple volcanic eruptions, including the Rara Tonga eruption, put a lot of water and particulate in the upper atmosphere which resulted in more clouds which block light from the ocean surface and a lower surface temperature.
Or, it could be both or both and something else. (Do you know how to write a research grant?)
I’m glad the Atlantic was balmy and warm in 1620. Oh wait ... it wasn’t
C’mon, man. Saharan dust. It is the cure for everything.
Now get ready for a new ice age. It’s been a few decades since that was about to happen.
Maybe melting icebergs brought temperatures in the Atlantic down?
The late A.J Strata, who was a NASA scientist as well as a blogger, found that satellite data in the Pacific suggested el Ninjo is caused by underwater volcanoes. I told him he should write an academic paper on his findings but he didn’t have the inclination to do it.
I sort of think a lot of the weather is influenced by volcanoes in the ocean
