The bigger question is “how will Warmists use a natural phenomenon to their unhinged advantage?” Also, “who will be the first Warmist to blame the El Nino on “climate change”?”
(ABC News) El Niño is a growing threat this year that could play havoc with weather patterns in the United States, forecasters say.
El Niño, named for the warm waters that occasionally occur in the Pacific Ocean near South America, brings fluctuating weather that includes droughts, flooding and heat waves.
“We have above-normal temperatures in the tropical Pacific Ocean and that often precedes an El Niño because there’s a large volume of above-average water temperature below the surface of the ocean,” Anthony Barnston, chief forecaster for the International Research Institute for Climate and Society, told ABC News. “Volume often tends to come up to the surface; often, but not always.
“That’s the uncertainty,” Barnston said. “It’s more likely to rise than not.” (snip)
Barnston notes a 70 percent probability of the United States’ experiencing an El Niño this year. He said the official outlook will be coming Thursday from the two agencies – his research institute and the Climate Prediction Center – and will most likely give a slightly lower probability of an El Niño event.
If an El Niño persists, Barnston said, it will develop between April and June and last until the start of the next calendar year for a nine-to-10 month cycle.
It is not expected to be a big one, about half the power of the massive 1997 El Nino. You know that the warmth and rain and other weather changes will be blamed on Mankind.
