According to SST's El Nino was already fading. http://solarcycle24com.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=globalwarming&action=display&thread=180&page=94

Chilean tsunami may hasten that with churning of deep cold water to the surface. Also note from link above that waters off Florida (gulf stream) cooling as well. This could have big implications for Europe going forward as Gulf Stream is only thing that keeps Europe from being more like Alaska than the temperate lower 48.

Clearly Al Gore will be rejoicing over this bit of information as it will be argued that earthquakes are simply nature’s way of attempting to compensate for evil human induced global warming.

We need whitecap-and-trade!

Could the temperature have been enfluenced by the Haiti event? There is a distinct possibility that the melting of arctic ice could change the North Atlantic Deep Water circulation to the detriment of the Gulf Stream and European climate.

These people are really grasping at straws to continue receiving grant money.

And Bush caused the Chilean Earthquake ... how??

Yes, this is plausible, just think ? some of that cold water has not seen the light of day since Christ walked the earth.

So in other words that damn groundhog showed his head again. Pretty sick of winter in the northeast.

[yooling]

Bush’s fault!

The thermocline layer is not that deep, around 100-200 meters below the surface. Mixing the top layer with water from just 200 meters down will dramatically lower the surface temp.
