Guest post by Bob Tisdale. Preliminary Note: An “alarmism warning” indicates alarmism is imminent. On the other hand, an “alarmism watch” indicates alarmism might occur, but that’s all the time.…

Hurricane Development Region Sea Surface Temperature Update – August 2014
The peak of the Atlantic Hurricane season is rapidly approaching. See the NOAA Hurricane Climatology graph to the right. (Give it a click for a full-sized version.) Hurricane frequency tends…
Will the Next El Niño Bring an End to the Slowdown in Global Surface Warming?
Rebuttal to Chen and Tung (2014) highlighted in “Cause for ‘The Pause’ #38 – Cause of global warming hiatus found deep in the Atlantic Ocean” Numerous scientific papers have reported…
On The Recent Record-High Global Sea Surface Temperatures – The Wheres and Whys
NOAA’s State of the Climate Report for June 2014 included the bullet point under global highlights (my boldface): For the ocean, the June global sea surface temperature was 0.64°C (1.15°F)…
Recent Hawaiian Tropical Cyclones – Sea Surface Temperature Anomalies of the Storm Tracks
It never fails. Hurricanes and tropical cyclones always bring out the manmade global warming alarmists, with their claims of unusually warm sea surface temperatures along the storm tracks. Of course…
El Niño is just not paying attention to climate models – looks like a bust
In the past week both the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and Australian Bureau of Meteorology (BoM) scaled back forecasts for a big El Niño warming event in 2014.…
And this excuse makes 30. Dueling press releases on 'the pause', blaming Pacific Trade Winds on 'Atlantic warming'
Previously, we had 29 excuses for “the pause” now we have 30. When a paper is published by multiple authors, the universities of those authors often produce separate press releases…
Tropical Storm Arthur – There Is Nothing Unusual About the Sea Surface Temperatures Off the East Coast of the U.S.
UPDATE (July 2, 2014): See the correction at the end of the post. # # # This post was prepared in anticipation of the usual nonsense we hear whenever a…
The Unisys Daily Sea Surface Temperature Anomaly Maps May Be Gone
Near the first of this month, the NOAA National Weather Service discontinued the sea surface temperature dataset used by Unisys to create their daily sea surface temperature and sea surface…
U.S. Postal Service issues 'global warming' Forever® stamp?
This just in from the U.S.Postal service. (h/t to Marc Morano) In 2014, the U.S. Postal Service introduces Global: Sea Surface Temperatures, a new Forever® international rate stamp. Hmmm, not…
Can GISS And Other Data Sets Set Records in 2014? (Now Includes April Data)
Guest Post by Werner Brozek (Edited By Just The Facts) GISS and other sets are poised to set new records in 2014, even without an El Nino. The present GISS…
Hurricane Development Region Sea Surface Temperature Anomalies as We Start the 2014 Season
IMPORTANT OPENING NOTE Even if the sea surface temperature anomalies were to remain depressed throughout the 2014 hurricane season (highly unlikely), the actual sea surface temperatures (absolute) from June to…
The 2014/15 El Niño – Part 4 – Early Evolution – Comparison with Other Satellite-Era El Niños
In the preceding post, we looked at the evolution of the weekly sea surface temperature anomalies in two regions of the equatorial Pacific (NINO3.4 and NINO1+2), comparing the data so…
El Niño Residuals Cause the C-Shaped Warming Pattern in the Pacific
In the recent model-data comparison of satellite-era sea surface temperature anomalies—appropriately titled Maybe the IPCC’s Modelers Should Try to Simulate Earth’s Oceans—we compared trend maps of modeled and observed sea…
More fun with 'Coloring Reality' and University of Maine's CLIMATE REANALYZER™
Earlier, we talked about how NOAA NCDC made February look warmer by choosing some nice pastel colors for “below normal” temperature in the USA. Now, WUWT regular Chris Beal points…
Maybe the IPCC’s Modelers Should Try to Simulate Earth’s Oceans
UPDATE (April 6, 2014): I’ve added a link to a follow-up post about the cause of the observed C-shaped warming pattern in the Pacific. # # # The climate models…
An Odd Mix of Reality and Misinformation from the Climate Science Community on England et al. (2014)
In this post, we’ll discuss a recent article and blog post about the recently published England et al. (2014). This post includes portions of past posts and a number of…
Phil Jones 2012 video: Talks about adjusting SST data up ~.3-.5C after WWII
Phil Jones of Climategate fame made some extraordinary remarks that seem to have been overlooked until now. This was a presentation for Help Rescue The Planet’s St George’s House Consultations…
Comments on Stefan Rahmstorf’s Post at RealClimate “What ocean heating reveals about global warming”
I was recently asked to comment on Stefan Rahmsorf’s post What ocean heating reveals about global warming at RealClimate. There is a link to a pdf edition of this post…
New study shows Pacific Decadal Oscillation and sea surface temperature drive US tornado strength
From the University of Missouri-Columbia, one more example of how natural variation has trumped the supposed forcing of CO2 to make ‘bad weather’. Pacific ocean temperature influences tornado activity in…
