Global Warming Ends....

Global average temperatures over land have plummeted by more than 1C since the middle of this year – their biggest and steepest fall on record. According to satellite data, the late 2016 temperatures are returning to the levels they were at after the 1998 El Nino.

The news comes amid mounting evidence that the recent run of world record high temperatures is about to end.

The fall, revealed by Nasa satellite measurements of the lower atmosphere, has been caused by the end of El Nino – the warming of surface waters in a vast area of the Pacific west of Central America.

Some scientists, including Dr Gavin Schmidt, head of Nasa’s climate division, have claimed that the recent highs were mainly the result of long-term global warming.

Others have argued that the records were caused by El Nino, a complex natural phenomenon that takes place every few years, and has nothing to do with greenhouse gas emissions by humans.

The new fall in temperatures suggests they were right.

So, a natural phenomenon is coming to an end. Bummer. An early spring is a pretty welcome event here in MI. Now it looks like we're going to have our usual White Christmas and snow storms like crazy...just like we'ere supposed to have here in the North.

Crap. I miss global warming already.

You'd rather have global warming Bob? Or do you just think we'll have a warm winter in MI?

2016 is the hottest year on record, just that September 2016 was 0.072 degrees F cooler than last year. It's depressing to see the lack of snow here in Tahoe or if it snows, it melts very quickly.

No, I'm saying you're being ridiculous in the face of overwhelming evidence. You really should've posted this in the 'Conspiracy Theory' section.

That's a fake think tank, Whell, founded specifically to fight back against the findings of the world's preeminent climate scientists and directed by a social anthropologist, not a climate scientist.

It's warmer here in Mobile Alabama in the winter than it was in Pinellas County Florida when I was growing up in the 1950's. And this is 380 miles northwest as the crow flies.

Right, because climate "consensus" masquerading as science, complete with its contrived modeling and altered data, must be believed no matter what.

Global Warming is for real Whelly.

You're just going to have to get used to that.

Just as the Hillarybots are going to have to get used to the fact that Trump is for real.
