With this missive from NYT’s Andrew Revkin who is singing the praises of alarmism by AP’s Seth Borenstein, I’ve come to think that climate alarmists are little more than garden variety hypochondriacs. Almost anything weather or climate related seems to scare them. They worry constantly that the planet is ill, and many try to create all sorts of contrived geo-engineering schemes to make Gaia well again. Case in point: they seem to genuinely fear the results of El Niño warming the planet. Maybe it was comparing warm water in the Pacific to “the blob” SciFi movie that did it. Of course it’s gone now, but the memory remains.
The reality is that this was just a regular ENSO event, and I’ll bet that throughout Earth’s history there have been even bigger ones. As we said earlier this week, the scary warming is nothing more than ENSO doing it’s thing, as this graph shows.
In a couple of months, El Niño and the temperature spike will be gone and then we won’t see crazy pronunciations like this. Instead, we’ll see a shift in dialog that this cooling is just “weather, not climate”.

More irrelevant logic blocking from another self delusional semantics troll.
The Recent Pause In Warming
July 2013 – Global mean surface temperatures rose rapidly from the 1970s,
but have been relatively flat over the most recent 15 years to 2013.
This has prompted speculation that human induced global warming is no longer happening, or at least will be much smaller than predicted. Others maintain that this is a temporary
pause and that temperatures will again rise at rates seen previously.
The Met Office Hadley Centre has written three reports that address
the recent pause in global warming
and seek to answer the following questions:
What have been the recent trends in other indicators of climate over this period?
What are the potential drivers of the current pause?
How does the recent pause affect our projections of future climate?”
Which pause?
The one you’re trying to logic-block through semantics trolling.
The one you’re failing utterly to refute.
The one your religion’s high priesthood faked warming to hide for 12 + years.
So you were misquoting, simple rule: use quotation marks if you’re quoting.
Good to see you’ve no problem with my other points.
There have been several “pauses” in warming over the last few decades, it happens every time there’s a strong El Nino followed by La Nina conditions, then when you get another strong El Nino it ends, the effect is known as The Escalator, and is ignored by people wishing to cherry pick the data by using such periods to spread disinformation.
More deflection from the canvas, waving your arms with your eyes rolled back in your head.
Great visual. It’s a pity we all can’t draw … well.
Are still trying to insist in the face of all you have been taught and had shown to you today that you don’t understand the global temperature was cooling until 2013?
Yes, because you’re so gobsmacked you’ve believed it all this time you’re simply repeating ”but you don’t believe he was really lying about the recent cooling, do you?
You just went and saw there are three separate Met Office publications addressing the fact warming stopped in 1998.
You’re making statements calling into question your being in contact with reality itself.
The world’s #1 climatologist, then his employer, admitted it had been cooling at least until Jones was suspended then had to confess.
Then his employer sorted things out for three years, and issued three publications on the fact the world stopped warming.
You’re like one of those guys in MMA who got knocked out but keeps clawing up at the lights, as if assuming the kung fu position from his back means he’s still got something to add.
The July 5 2005 email Jones sent regarding concealing it was cooling from the entire scientific world was to another scientist John Christy.
The emails are numbered, and the one where Jones admitted falsifying records past 1998 is Email # 1120593115
Your in systematic denial reduced to claim you can’t find out the truth about what happened without more help.
There you got help. He said it. He was faking the warming – all of it – for more than a decade until he was simply removed from his position and put where he couldn’t do more harm.
There’s his employer, having issued the three papers,
with you being given the name of the press release – ”The Recent Pause In Warming”
but claiming ”you can’t find the papers” so that must mean – something beside the fact you’re incompetent.
You keep shadowboxing the air, and we’ll all just move into acceptance some government administrators got caught falsifying records for more than a decade.
I had a look at the email, and once more you’re making things up, your claim that: “Jones admitted falsifying records past 1998” is a lie. If you don’t admit that, you should quote (rather than misquote, Please) the relevant passage.
Again: there have been several periods lasting a few years in in the last few decades in which global surface temperatures have not shown a rise in temperatures just start with a strong El Nino followed by La Nina conditions.
It’s not rocket science, you should be able to understand it.
Once again you use quotation marks (”you can’t find the papers”) to tell lies. It’s impossible to have a serious discussion with someone who continually misrepresents other people.

“The scientific community would come down on me in no
uncertain terms if I said the world had cooled from 1998. OK it has but it is only
7 years of data and it isn’t statistically significant.”

“The scientific community would come down on me in no
uncertain terms if I said the world had cooled from 1998. OK it has but it is only
7 years of data and it isn’t statistically significant.”
Is that the passage that’s supposed to prove that “Jones admitted falsifying records past 1998”?
It looks like he’s acknowledging that he’d expect some flak for saying that the world had cooled in the 7 years after 1998, and that any cooling that had happened wasn’t statistically significant. Which means that in statistical terms there had been no cooling.
Most people accept that the planet has continued to warm since then.
No, I was pointing to “the internet”
“Strangely, even though you claim to be quoting Jones that “quote” doesn’t appear to be on the Internet, is it possible that you’re actually misquoting him?”
OK, I had just pasted in Gershon’s quote between quotation marks, it didn’t come up because a couple of words were omitted.
Thanks for the clarification.
Once again: all you have to do is make time go backward and your leadership not all a bunch of data falsifying criminals, who got caught, and you won’t be the thread clown thinking you’re going to semantics boggle professional scientists.
You haven’t been serious since you started hemorrhaging stupid in the name of adopting a grammar troll who worships data fabricators.
