Bad news, Warmists. Even NASA is saying that the Pause exists. Of course, they use one of your favorite excuses, namely, that the deep oceans ate your warming
NASA Study Finds Indian, Pacific Oceans Temporarily Hide Global Warming
A new NASA study of ocean temperature measurements shows in recent years extra heat from greenhouse gases has been trapped in the waters of the Pacific and Indian oceans. Researchers say this shifting pattern of ocean heat accounts for the slowdown in the global surface temperature trend observed during the past decade.
Researchers Veronica Nieves, Josh Willis and Bill Patzert of NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), Pasadena, California, found a specific layer of the Indian and Pacific oceans between 300 and 1,000 feet (100 and 300 meters) below the surface has been accumulating more heat than previously recognized. They also found the movement of warm water has affected surface temperatures. The result was published Thursday in the journal Science.
During the 20th century, as greenhouse gas concentrations increased and trapped more heat energy on Earth, global surface temperatures also increased. However, in the 21st century, this pattern seemed to change temporarily.
“Greenhouse gases continued to trap extra heat, but for about 10 years starting in the early 2000s, global average surface temperature stopped climbing, and even cooled a bit,” said Willis.
So, nature can magically hide the heat, making it responsible for the Pause. But, according to NASA and the rest of the Cult of Climastrology, nature can’t be responsible at all for the warming.
“Given the fact the Pacific Decadal Oscillation seems to be shifting to a warm phase, ocean heating in the Pacific will definitely drive a major surge in global surface warming,” Nieves said.
Wait, I thought it was Mankind’s fault from GHGs? It really does sound like they pull this all out of their butts.
(reporting climate science) “Natural, decadal variability has been with us for centuries, and it continues to have big regional impacts on society,†said Nieves, a JPL scientist with a joint appointment at the University of California, Los Angeles. “We can expect to have more hiatuses in the future, but unless future hiatuses are stronger than usual, they will be less visible due to fast rising greenhouse gases. Right now, the combined effect of the human-caused warming and the Pacific changing to a warm phase can play together and produce warming acceleration.â€
This is actually part of the new Warmists talking points, which attempt to incorporate natural variability, then say that GHGs from Mankind make things worse. They’ve been trotting this out as of late in instances where their typical Blame Mankind talking points do not work so well.
