Spring warmth: weather, not climate
While alarmists bloviate about three months of warm weather citing it as cock-sure proof that global warming is at fault (like they always do), we have this from the University…
ENSO has gone slightly positive
After holding on zero for a couple of weeks, the WUWT ENSO meter has gone slightly positive: As you can see, La Niña is fading:
Nature, record heat, tipping points, Hansen's opinion on weather noise, and all that
From NCDC’s spring report here More record warmth as scientists warn of global tipping point – CNN.com — It’s hot out there. But this time, it’s more than idle watercooler…
