New Study Sees Atlantic Warming Behind a Host of Recent Climate Shifts
New York Times ^ | August 3, 2014 | By ANDREW C. REVKIN

Posted on 08/03/2014 12:48:03 PM PDT by Oldeconomybuyer

Using climate models and observations, a fascinating study in this week’s issue of Nature Climate Change points to a marked recent warming of the Atlantic Ocean as a powerful shaper of a host of notable changes in climate and ocean patterns in the last couple of decades — including Pacific wind, sea level and ocean patterns, the decade-plus hiatus in global warming and even California’s deepening drought

Here’s the University of New South Wales news release:

Atlantic warming turbocharges Pacific trade winds.

Record breaking trade winds may have led to hiatus in global surface average temperatures.

New research has found rapid warming of the Atlantic Ocean, likely caused by global warming, has turbocharged Pacific Equatorial trade winds. Currently the winds are at a level never before seen on observed records, which extend back to the 1860s.

The increase in these winds has caused eastern tropical Pacific cooling, amplified the Californian drought, accelerated sea level rise three times faster than the global average in the Western Pacific and has slowed the rise of global average surface temperatures since 2001.

So, global warming caused the recent global cooling. These people will say anything for taxpayer grant money.

The New York Slime is quite adept at recycling pure unadulterated bull. Just perhaps the only thing they do well, apart form shilling for the RATS.

And, stop right there.

Good, it was always too cold for swimming (except September) and now I can swim more comfortably.

“Climate Change” is a simple IQ test. Ask someone how concerned they are about this. If they register any concern at all, they are a dumbass.

In what Atlantic bordered country?

New study shows we are having one frightfully cold winter after another in Minnesota these days.

I’m not even sure, but have hurricanes gotten more mild in the Atlantic, on average?

“accelerated sea level rise three times faster than the global average in the Western Pacific”

WTF?

Since these experts come up with a new theory about global warming every week and they admit they can’t do anything about it, let’s find something more productive with the money we are throwing down this rat hole. Cancel all AGW grants and let Algore and Tom Steyer finance this bunk.

This author again shows his ignorance. The “climate change/global warming” models all say small changes in the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will create catastrophic and irreversible global warming and every other conceivable kind of weather event.

The the NYT and the author and have been arguing that this is true for the last quarter of a century.

Now the author thinks he has made a huge discovery. He says change in sea surface temperature will cause long term climate change.

Meteorologists and climatologists have known sea surface temperature affects weather for decades. It is part of every predictive model.

Sea surface temperature does not cause long term climate change.

The article is confused and at times almost incoherent. The study that it cites just says that this winter will probably be colder than normal in the eastern United States.

Andrew Revkin is a true believer, he will not be dismayed by the continued evidence thrown at his feet.

Using climate models and observations,

Some guy who wants a wad of government funding for his climate research built a model. He tweaked the model and his set of observations until he got the result that he wanted and voila, proof that global cooling is caused by global warming. One study, one model, one set of data put together by a team with a political agenda is not science and Andrew Revkin is neither a scientist or a journalist.

The oceans are one of the least understood elements of Earth's climate systems, and are by far the most important. We are still using hydrological data collected by the Royal Navy during the age of sail because that's the best that we've got. Atmospheric scientists like Stephen Schneider started the whole global warming cult after they dumped global cooling, the lack of good ocean research has never caught up.

Warming Atlantic causes stronger Trades in the Pacific. Okay."

OK!! Everybody pay attention!

Lesson for today:

1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.

2. The sun is a ball of fire that controls the climates of all its planets.

3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.

4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.

5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.

Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?
