Why some scientists are worried about a surprisingly cold ‘blob’ in the North Atlantic

It is, for our home planet, an extremely warm year.

Indeed, last week we learned from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration that the first eight months of 2015 were the hottest such stretch yet recorded for the globe’s surface land and oceans, based on temperature records going back to 1880. It’s just the latest evidence that we are, indeed, on course for a record-breaking warm year in 2015.

Yet, if you look closely, there’s one part of the planet that is bucking the trend. In the North Atlantic Ocean south of Greenland and Iceland, the ocean surface has seen very cold temperatures for the past eight months:

What’s up with that?

At this point, it’s time to ask what the heck is going on here. And while there may not yet be any scientific consensus on the matter, at least some scientists suspect that the cooling seen in these maps is no fluke but, rather, part of a process that has been long feared by climate researchers — the slowing of Atlantic Ocean circulation...

It’s not really news. The Gulf Stream slowed down up that way several years ago and caused slightly colder winters in the U.K. Yeah, the climate changes. And sometimes, it changes quite a bit. But we’re not causing it, and we’re not going to control it.

“I think the original machine had a base pate of pre-famulated amulite surmounted by a malleable logarithmic casing...”

The original pre-famulated amulite was replaced by combobulated anti-matter, thereby making the machine more stable, establishing forever that it definitely was,
George Bush’s fault.

IMHO

“When a supposedly sobering article (in the WaPo, no less) includes the phrase, “What’s up with that?”, I pretty much ignore it. And every year the media pronounces it the “warmest ever”, yet we have had no warming for about 20 years, now (and probably never did have any to begin with). “

They need to go to the source:

Looks like - from that chart - the Arctic, Greenland, and the Antarctic (among others) do not count toward world temperature. If that is correct, then, of course, the world would be getting warmer ...

There’s the problem right there - they used left handed metric grammeters instead of the more reliable right handed non-metric ones ...

This information is as accurate as you can find...unless you want to ask any random wino sleeping in the gutter for his version of events.

The potentiation of your preponderations is superflously interspersed among a host of glandular gesticulations.

Notice the left has successfully changed “global warming” into ‘climate change’ in only a couple years. Big media calls it climate change 100 % of the time now. Even FOX.

“The potentiation of your preponderations is superflously interspersed among a host of glandular gesticulations.”

Well, that was a mouthful to ponder, especially in a world where potentiation, preponderation and glandular gesticlation can sometimes get the better of us, or worse, into trouble.

I’m still trying to figure it out and I wrote it! It makes as much sense as some of what Obama says anyway, probably more in some cases. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tY0ve87vQMs

If one figured out what Progressives were actually saying, one would be profoundly frightened.

All this since 1880? That’s not even a fart in a whirlwind compared to geologic time scales.

Same here. Though I will admit that as a kid watching that movie I had a hard time eating Strawberry Jam ROFL. The Jam reminded me of the Blob LOL
