Climate Catastrophe

Another benefit of GW .... more holidays :-)

Scorching heat levels of 50C have already paralysed nearby Iraq, where officials were forced to call a four day public holiday because it was too hot to work

Yeah, since your warmists have been spouting hot air, we really are seeing World breaking heat.

I prefer other methods than hottest ever records, however if you look at the whole list, a quick count shows that more than half have occurred since 2000

and also according to wiki ...

Christopher C. Burt, the weather historian writing for Weather Underground believes that the 1913 Death Valley reading is "a myth", and is at least four or five degrees Fahrenheit too high,[10] as do other weather historians Dr. Arnold Court and William Taylor Reid.[88] Burt proposes that the highest reliably recorded temperature on Earth is still at Death Valley, but is instead 53.9 °C (129 °F) recorded five times: 20 July 1960, 18 July 1998, 20 July 2005, 7 July 2007, and 30 June 2013.[89][90]

Currently there is a strong El Nino, which will temporarily push temps up probably until the end of the year, but the following La Nina will be very strong indeed and will shove global temperatures down....way down. It's happened before just part of the climate cycle, that's why it's relatively easy to predict.

This will be hard to explain if you believe in Global Warming.

Most models predict the current El Nino will last into next Spring:



The El Nino Southern Oscillation ENSO, is, as the name suggests, an oscillation, manifestation of natural climate variability superimposed on a more gradual warming signal. It is a moving about of heat, not a net gain or loss. For some reason, the lower troposphere seems to be sensitive to it, that is the LT warms more than the surface during an El Nino and cools more during a La Nina. Now the satellites measure the LT temperature and thus the satellite record was perturbed more than the surface record by the 1998 Super el Nino, the most powerful of the last century; this is the root cause of the 'No Global Warming for <n> years' meme. The inactivists only look at the satellite record and only for a period that has 1998 somewhere near the beginning.



Of course it is possible to use regression techniques to remove ENSO and other natural influences.

Assuming the El Nino does shape up as projected, it will be interesting to see the effect on the satellite record and the 'Pause'....

Well it is absolutely obvious, as the El Nino strengthens the pause will shorten and when the La Nina comes along the pause will lengthen.

Once the La Nina is over the temps will be down and the pause will continue to extend. Nethertheless the "Global Warmists" will have an opportunity to shout that the pause is now over,....at least for a while, and they need to enjoy the moment because then it will become very embarassing.



It's all about natural cycles.

Funny how every 'pause' is at a higher temperature than the last, huh?

There is only one pause. That's the pause the scientists discuss.

As a cartoonist you can squiggle a few pauses on upward trend from 1980-1996, but that's a rather silly thing to do, don't you think?

Try 1950 to 2015.
