Scientists change how El Nino is labeled to keep up with spike in temperature

The natural El Nino cycle, which warps weather worldwide, is both adding to and shaped by a warming world, meteorologists said.

A new study calculated that an unusual recent twist in the warming and cooling cycle that includes El Nino and its counterpart La Nina can help explain the scientific mystery of why Earth’s already rising temperature spiked to a new level over the past three years.

Separately, scientists have had to update how they label El Nino and La Nina because of rapid weather changes cause by global warming. Increasingly hot waters globally have caused the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration this month to alter how it calculates when the weather pattern has flipped into a new cycle. It’s likely to mean that more events will be considered La Nina and fewer qualify as an El Nino for warming tropical waters. (snip)

In a new study in Nature Geoscience this month, Japanese researchers look at how the difference in energy coming to and leaving the planet — called Earth’s energy imbalance — increased in 2022. An increased imbalance, or more trapped heat, then leads to warmer temperatures, scientists said. The researchers calculate that about three-quarters of the change in Earth’s energy imbalance can be attributed to the combination of long-term human-caused climate change and a shift from a three-year cooling La Nina cycle to a warm El Nino one.

Yeah yeah yeah. Cult cult cult. In a couple years they’ll change the definition again.

Well, yeah. It was never about saving the climate, it was about spreading money around and implementing authoritarian government

Was climate change the greatest financial scandal in history?

Environmental scholar Bjorn Lomborg recently calculated that governments around the globe have spent at least $16 trillion feeding the climate change industrial complex.

And for what?

Arguably, not a single life has been or will be saved by this shameful and colossal misallocation of human resources. The war on safe and abundant fossil fuels has cost countless lives in poor countries and made those countries poorer by blocking affordable energy.

And where did all that money go? What percent actually made it to helping the people it was meant to help?

Since the global warming crusade started some 30 years ago, the temperature of the planet has not been altered by one-tenth of a degree, as even the alarmists acknowledge.

In other words, $16 trillion has been spent. A lot of people got very, very rich off the government largesse, but there is not a penny of measurable payoff.

It’s much worse than that. In economics, there is a concept called opportunity cost: What could we have done with $16 trillion to make the world better off?

What if the $16 trillion had been spent on clean water for poor countries, preventing avoidable deaths from diseases such as malaria, building schools in African villages to end illiteracy, bringing reliable and affordable electric power to the more than 1 billion people who still lack access, or curing cancer?

What could $8 billion have done to help Americans instead of being pissed away on a small number of EV chargers? There needs to be a serious audit of where the money went

Instead, we effectively poured $16 trillion down the drain. For this reason, it is important that we identify the green “climate change” derangement syndrome as perhaps the most inhumane political movement in history.

The people at the Sierra Club, the Environmental Defense Fund and the United Nations and politicians such as Al Gore, Joseph R. Biden and John Kerry, who voted for and carried out this Green New Deal scam, should be placed on a wall of shame. Mr. Biden’s administration alone wasted $400 billion on green energy and other sham climate change programs.

Think what could have been done with $400 billion. Heck, every American could have been straight up given around $12 million each.
