Your chance to predict future El Niño headlines

“Human created Co2 causes catastrophic, worst-ever El Nino effect, as the Pacific releases the built up toxin and overwhelms Earth with heat. Millions expected to die or be displaced.”

Jim, of course the Sun heats the oceans. But the miniscule amount of solar change that you speak of cannot, CANNOT be detected in ocean heat anomaly measures. You do understand that of course.

Pamela, actually it can be detected in ocean heat anomaly measures. There is more effect on the oceans from the Sun than people seem to be aware of.

Using the Oceans as a Calorimeter to Quantify the Solar Radiative Forcing
Nir J. Shaviv
Abstract.
Over the 11-year solar cycle, small changes in the total solar irradiance (TSI) give rise to small variations in the global energy budget. It was suggested, however, that different mechanisms could amplify solar activity variations to give large climatic effects, a possibility which is still a subject of debate. With this in mind, we use the oceans as a calorimeter to measure the radiative forcing variations associated with the solar cycle. This is achieved through the study of three independent records, the net heat flux into the oceans over 5 decades, the sea level change rate based on tide gauge records over the 20th century, and the sea surface temperature variations. Each of the records can be used to consistently derive the same oceanic heat flux. We find that the total radiative forcing associated with solar cycles variations is about 5 to 7 times larger than just those associated with the TSI variations, thus implying the necessary existence of an amplification mechanism, though without pointing to which one.

I would think that there is a fair contingent of media types, reporters, sub editors, editors and etc who give WUWT the once over on a very regular basis to try and keep themselves up to speed with this climate and science caper.
That same media likes to think they are taken seriously and don’t like it one little bit when a whole raft of people take the mickey out of their headline writing editors on a web site as prominent as WUWT as is happening with this headline blog post
Because it shows that they becoming out of touch with a fairly large group of the decision makers in the public, those ordinary faceless men and women who others will regularly quote as having said this or that and who consequently are the ones who shape public opinion at street and pub level.
And when you lose those street level decision makers you have near enough lost the entire plot.
And WUWT, Jo Nova, Bishop Hill and the other well patronised skeptic blogs are inhabited by those street level and often much higher than street level decision makers, those individuals who are prepared to speak their minds and are open about their beliefs which is why they comment on the high profile skeptic blogs in the first place and on a subject where they know they are regarded as pariahs by a considerable part of the populace because they do not believe as do the CAGW ideologists and are quite prepared to loudly say so.
[ Although who is now the pariah is becoming somewhat of a moot point as the great wheel of human affairs continues right on rolling as always and the other side starts to come up as it always does. ]
The denizens of the skeptic blogs openly state their minds about their beliefs surrounding most items that are intrinsic and of importance to our society, civilisation and survival such as climate, science. politics and politicians, bureaucrats and of course the Media which is regarded as somewhere in the bottom ten percent of the levels of respectability by those street level decision makers.
So with the mickey being taken out of the headline writers in the media by the WUWT and other denizens of other skeptic blogs I would suggest that come say around June and July when we would expect to see an El Nino getting under way IF the experts haven’t got it all wrong again as they have re El Nino’s for most of the last decade, somewhat like some of the girls I knew some sixty ago, they seem to ready to offer many promises but always managed to avoid delivering.
In many media outlets after WUWT denizens working over the future media headlines on a potential El Nino I think there might be a much more subdued and circumspect approach to the headlines and headline stories on the El Nino from a much wider array of media outlets than if posts such as this one that Anthony has put up, had never appeared and all you denizens had the chance to give a right royal raspberry to the sensationalist promoting media headline writers.
Of course there will still be a wide range of the media, the real wacky publicity at all costs media outlets who just can’t help themselves but prolong their stay in the gutter of sensationalism for sensationalism’s sake.
Or maybeand far more likely, they just aren’t smart enough to know a fact when they actually see one.
But thats the media !
Need any more be said?

Britain Bans Baked Beans as Unprecedented Super El Beano Bakes the Planet!
Fears were raised about the impact of ‘smelly emissions’ caused by Brits eating more beans than any other country in the world. Scientists say bean eating Brits cause global warming, super El Niño and huge smelly hurricanes!!!
