"Stored" heat can come out of the oceans or at least not be "sunk" there.

The whole "Erf's temp" meme is ill defined - land surface temps? Total heat in the oceans? total heat in the Atmosphere? Cloud cover? Top of the atmosphere temps?

Lots of babble, but El Nino years are rarely hot. They are known for increased precipitation, which is always good news for skiers, and bad news for mountain climbers.

California needs a good el nino to fill some reservoirs.

El Nino in Pittsburgh usually brings mild winters.

After this past frigid "Polar Vortex," I'll take it.

Last year in Central NH it rained through July, similar to the 1311 famine, the year before similar.

This year seems to be normal, the snow has melted the weather is warming, the ticks are out, my plants are reaching for the sun,

People need to understand that forecasts are just forecasts. And coming from the Global Warming Zealots, they tend to be wrong. Grossly wrong. Usually 180 degrees the opposite of reality. Here is reality.

Hansen himself claimed the El Nino in 2012 would be the greatest in history. It did not even beat the El Nino of 2009/2010.

Re: “But peering below the ocean’s surface, water temperatures are already off-the-charts-hot.”

I wish the author had provided data on that claim.

The Climate Nazis now claim that the reason Earth has experienced a 15 year “pause” in warming is because all that heat is “hiding” in the deep ocean.

I’d like to know if his claim about a “hot” Pacific Ocean is just more propaganda, or if it’s based on actual measurements.

The sport fishing fleet in San Diego is looking forward to it. El Nin~o brings tuna. Lots of Albacore on the way.

**Earlier this month I wrote that taking into account current forecasts, El Niño could be the biggest global weather story of 2014.**

Bigger than the Polar Vortex of 2013-2014?</sarc>

The author of the Business Insider article, Eric Holthaus, is a complete global warming/climate change/global climate disruption coolaid drinker. Check out his blog for more samples of the drivel he spews ...

...there's not going to be a summer and things will be miserably cold...

In that case I'm going to go ahead and plant rhubarb this summer. A friend of mine said that it doesn't do well in heat, but I believe we are going to have another cool wet summer.

I’ve just “battened down” the hatches.

"Battened"?

"BATTENED" ?

"BATTENED"?

Crap - I read the instructions wrong. I thought I was supposed to BATTER down the hatches!

Two gallons of pancake batter, wasted.

Who died in NH in the 1311 famine?

The water in the deep oceans should not be measured as heat or warm. It has a minimum stable temperature point based on density and pressure. So you have to measure the volume of the minimum or the cold point volume. There are two primary metrics that affect cold point volume. Solar energy from above and volcanic heat from below.

The proper way to state what the AGW zealots are claiming - The cold point volume of the deep oceans is shrinking.

My 2cents anyway.

Like 5 million degrees hot?

“five consecutive three month periods”
Wouldn’t it be easier to say: 15 months? What am I missing

Good, maybe the ice will be gone from Lake Superior before it starts to freeze again in November.

Enlighten me. New Hampshire did not exist in 1311. And I assume NH was New Hampshire. But I could be wrong.
