Antarctic warming? NOT!

Figure 1. Standardized values of the Antarctic snow melt index (October-January) from 1980-2009 (adapted from Tedesco and Monaghan, 2009) "Where are the headlines? Where are the press releases? Where is all the attention? The ice melt across during the Antarctic summer (October-January) of 2008-2009 was the lowest ever recorded in the satellite history . Such was the finding reported last week...

Climate models don't tell the full story

(PhysOrg.com) -- Climate models that predict heavy rainfall don`t give the whole picture, according to the results of a study by NWO scientist Martin Ziegler. He examined climate changes that have taken place over the past 800,000 years, and discovered that the melting icebergs in the North Atlantic and changes in the El Niño Southern Oscillation have a great influence on the intensity of monsoon...

A different view of ENSO and systematic climate change

El Nino and the Southern Oscillation (ENSO) seems to be perceived as a change in the state of the tropical oceans, the focus being on the ENSO 3.4 region in the Pacific. It is thought that change in the Pacific feeds into temperature change elsewhere. The word ‘teleconnections’, is a mantra of climate science. [...]

Thompson et al (2009) - High-Tech Wiggle Matching Helps Illustrate El Nino-Induced Step Changes

INTRODUCTION In “Identifying signatures of natural climate variability in time series of global-mean surface temperature: Methodology and Insights”, Thompson et al (2009) remove the effects of three natural variables from the Global Surface Temperature record (January 1900 to March 2009). Those three natural variables are El Nino-Southern Oscillation, stratospheric aerosols emitted by explosive...

Global Warming May Dent El Niño's Protective Shield From Atlantic Hurricanes, Increase Droughts

El Niño, the periodic eastern Pacific phenomenon credited with shielding the United States and Caribbean from severe hurricane seasons, may be overshadowed by its brother in the central Pacific due to global warming, according to an article in the September 24 issue of the journal Nature."There are two El Niños, or flavors of El Niño," said Ben Kirtman, co-author of the...

NOAA: El Niño expected to strengthen and last through the Northern Hemisphere winter

by Joseph Romm NOAA’s National Weather Service Climate Prediction Center released its monthly El Niño/Southern oscillation (ENSO) Diagnostic Discussion : A weak El Niño continued during August 2009, as sea surface temperature (SST) remained above-average across the equatorial Pacific Ocean (Fig. 1). Consistent with this warmth, the latest weekly values of the Niño-region...

Sea Level Data Exposes El Nino’s Secret

The climate science community tells us that the El Nino/Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is merely a redistribution of heat. Sea level data tells us otherwise. The graph below shows detrended sea level data from the University of Colorado, which is available for the period 1993-2008. If ENSO is non-radiative, it should not influence sea level, which is [...]

NASA: Second hottest July on record

by Joseph Romm Fast on the heels of the second hottest June on record , NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies reports that July is also the second hottest on record. NASA just quietly updates its data set ( here ). NASS GISS is much more low-key than NOAA’s National Climatic Data Center, which issues a major report on the climate every month (see NCDC: Second hottest June on record...
