El Nino Collapses - Global Sea Ice Makes A Strong Comeback

[cancel2 2022]

Global temperatures spiked during the last half of 2015 as a result of the strong El Nino and were still at very high levels relative-to-normal as recently as last month. In addition, global sea ice appeared to be impacted by El Nino as it took a steep dive during much of 2015 and remained at well below-normal levels going into this year. In the past couple of months, however, El Nino has begun to collapse and will likely flip to a moderate or strong La Nina (colder-than-normal water) by later this year. In rather quick fashion, global temperatures have seemingly responded to the unfolding collapse of El Nino and global sea ice has actually rebounded in recent weeks to near normal levels. --Paul Dorian, Vencor Weather, 11 April 2016

That cold blob in the North Atlantic just keeps getting bigger. For the last couple of years, sea surface temperatures (SSTs) have been tumbling and are now back to 1980 levels. --Paul Homewood, Not A Lot Of People Know That, 11 April 2016

Hate to see El Niño go.

Climate alarmists certainly do, how else are they going to scare the horses and the bewildered?

True enough.

Isn't the 'missing heat' lol, supposed to be trapped in the ocean? If that's the case, we should have a long and lusty El Niño but this one petered out pretty quick.

With science. Your efforts to deny global warming through an El Nino mask are truly, truly stupid- or in a worse case scenarion- truly, truly reprehensible. You sound like a propaganda rat for the fossil fuels industries.

Global temperature changes have very complex causes. Besides broadly-understood events , such as El Nino, there are other powerful forces at work, solar activity/inactivity as an example.
You're exposed again, little charmer.

Consequences of a weak solar cycle

......Second, it is pretty well understood that solar activity has a direct impact on temperatures at very high altitudes in a part of the Earth’s atmosphere called the thermosphere. This is the biggest layer of the Earth’s atmosphere which lies directly above the mesosphere and below the exosphere. Thermospheric temperatures increase with altitude due to absorption of highly energetic solar radiation and are highly dependent on solar activity.

Finally, if history is a guide, it is safe to say that weak solar activity for a prolonged period of time can have a negative impact on global temperatures in the troposphere which is the bottom-most layer of Earth’s atmosphere - and where we all live. There have been two notable historical periods with decades-long episodes of low solar activity. The first period is known as the “Maunder Minimum”, named after the solar astronomer Edward Maunder, and it lasted from around 1645 to 1715. The second one is referred to as the “Dalton Minimum”, named for the English meteorologist John Dalton, and it lasted from about 1790 to 1830. Both of these historical periods coincided with below-normal global temperatures in an era now referred to by many as the “Little Ice Age”. In addition, research studies in just the past couple of decades have found a complicated relationship between solar activity, cosmic rays, and clouds on Earth. This research suggests that in times of low solar activity where solar winds are typically weak; more cosmic rays reach the Earth’s atmosphere which, in turn, has been found to lead to an increase in certain types of clouds that can act to cool the Earth.

Well done you are up and at 'em early this morning!! Are you being serious, do you really think I don't know about the influence of sunspots, or lack of them, on the solar wind and hence the amount of cosmic rays entering the Earth's atmosphere? I been following the work of Dr. Jasper Kirkby and Henrik Svensmark for the last decade now, I very much doubt that you've even heard of them!! If you weren't so stupid you might have been aware that Solar 24 is on track to be the Solar Cycle with the lowest recorded sunspot activity since accurate records began in 1750.

Yes- or you prefer to ignore the effects in order to promote your climatic change denial agenda. Either way- your conjecture is exposed.

Really, I've been getting laid and playing the banjo.

I very much doubt that you've even heard of them!!

Did they play the Superbowl in '76 ?

Yes that is more than apparent, especially on this subject. Fear not though, your bum chums Leon and Legion are even more ignorant.

Ah, practicing a little contextomy along with your characteristic 'scientific ' half-truths. Hallmarks of the mountebank.
