Joe Bastardi’s latest video here says the coming La Nina-related cooling will be the coldest since the Pinatubo cooling in the early 1990s.Video: Joe Bastardi predicts coldest cooling since Pinatubo.
He says:
It doesn’t take a brain surgeon to figure that out.
So what could possibly cause that kind of cooling? Not a volcano, not CO2 greenhouse gases, not aerosols…
Joe just calls it weather (that happens to be well below what the climate models predicted). My bet is that it has something to do with solar cycles.
And looking at the latest Unisys SSTs, looks like we’re well on our way to a drastic drop in temperatures. http://weather.unisys.com/surface/sst_anom.html
Joe is the weather man, we should beware.
Reply: Beware? Please explain why. His seasonal forecasts have been much better than those of “climate scientists”. -PG
I think he means we should beware the cold blast, ’cause Joe is “the man” and usually correct.
It’s American slang/colloquial expression. Means “the boss, the one who decides and knows”. Or maybe the repressive authorities, and the police, if you’re a leftist community agitator. 😉
We persist in noting that for 2.6 million years Earth’s current Pleistocena Era has been characterized by well-defined cyclical glaciations averaging 102,000 years, interspersed with warming periods of a median 12,250 years.
Had it not been for the 1,500-year Younger Dryas “cold shock” which ended c. BC 7300 (9,300 years-before-present, YBP), our present Holocene Interglacial Epoch would likely have ended c. AD 450, coincident with the Fall of Rome. As of 2010, entering a probable 70-year “dead sun” Maunder Minimum, we are substantially overdue for reversion to Ice Time.
More than atmospheric or solar-irradiation factors, Earth’s long-term temperature variations –“climate” is a misnomer– are historically tied to plate-tectonic (geophysical) dispositions plus pulsations of one-fifth mile on a 4,000-mile planetary radius (.005%), due to Earth as a slightly pear-shaped oblate spheroid with attendant gravitational imbalances.
While North and South American continents continue blocking eastern from western hemispheric oceanic currents affected by “bathymetric magmatic episodes” (deep-ocean volcanism along tectonic rifts), over the next 12 – 14-million years ice ages will regularly come and go. As continents eventually drift apart, Gaia will avoid recurrent glaciations for several hundred million years.
Climate hysterics are propagandists, acting in bad faith under false pretenses. Having willfully sabotaged global energy economies for decades, as our Long Summer fades they may have mega-deaths to answer for.
Well, your “flexing crust” speculation needs a falsification test proposal before it can be considered a hypothesis. Got one ready for us?
You are correct. All the warmists say that the solar irradiance does’nt change. However they neglect these two studies:
Temperature and precipitation history of the Arctic
Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research and Department of Geological Sciences, University of Colorado, Boulder, CO 80309-0450, USA et al
“Solar energy reached a summer maximum (9% higher than at present) ca 11 ka ago and has been decreasing since then, primarily in response to the precession of the equinoxes. The extra energy elevated early Holocene summer temperatures throughout the Arctic 1-3° C above 20th century averages…”
Lesson from the past: present insolation minimum holds potential for glacial inception
Ulrich C. Müller & Jörg Pross, Institute of Geosciences, University of Frankfurt, Frankfurt, Germany
“Because the intensities of the 397 ka BP and present insolation minima are very similar, we conclude that under natural boundary conditions the present insolation minimum holds the potential to terminate the Holocene interglacial. Our findings support the Ruddiman hypothesis [Ruddiman, W., 2003. The Anthropogenic Greenhouse Era began thousands of years ago. Climate Change 61, 261–293], which proposes that early anthropogenic greenhouse gas emission prevented the inception of a glacial that would otherwise already have started….”
Meanwhile the World Bank who was supposed to have been “effective control of climate change finance” in Copenhagen (see Danish Text) is investing heavily in oil and coal. And the Bilderburg Conference in June had “global Cooling” on the agenda this year.
Think the elite know something we do not???
PG;
Nah, not solar cycles. There’s a Mega-Squid at the bottom of the Pacific, and El Nino occurs when it squirts water at diving whales, etc. La Nina is from the intake for the next shot.
Just to confuse things, the jet is heavily laden with dissolved CO2 by the time it is loosed.
Visualizing all that CO2-laden water suddenly made me realize a major flaw in the “acidification” bupkus story. Warming water can hold LESS CO2, so the carbonic acid load should DROP. If the water is becoming less alkaline/more acidic, it must be because it is COOLING and hence able to dissolve CO2 more readily.
Busted! 😀
Oh you’re one of those ARGO believers!
