Surprise: Climate Scientists Playing With Labeling El Ninos

This is normal: if things do not cooperate change it

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.

    from the article, “…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.”

    The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) is under the control of trump!!

    Denier cultist William blames climate scientists but not the trump administration!

    Remember how the definition of “vaccine” was changed when the COVID-19 vaccines didn’t perform as we were told they would?

    • Elwood P. Dowd says:

      Remember how no vaccine is 100% effective? Some are better than others. Smallpox has been eliminated – polio nearly so – measles, mumps, diptheria 97% effective – influexza varies greatly, common for rapidly mutating viruses. Conspiracists need them some conspiracies, otherwise they are personally responsible for their own contentment.

      As the Earth (and esspecially the oceans) continues to warm, it will become more difficult to discern what is an El Nino, at least according to Mr trump’s NOAA.

        Remember Rimjob has an excuse for everything but the truth.

        • Elwood P. Dowd says:

          Remember CumBreath reacts to the truth as a demon reacts to the Cross!!

          He confuses “explanatons” with “excuses”, but only for “truths” he can’t understand.

    Even when gasoline is cheap Americans can not afford to buy
    Peak US gas consumption was like 5 years ago
    The CFO of Walmart officially used the word “recession” when he said the jobs recession was going to affect sales in 2026
    Companies are not hiring

      Instead of shoveling shit, get off your ass and start shoveling some snow.

      It’ll be good for you and everybody else.

    Gas is cheaper where I live then under Biden, stores open and lots of Help Wanted signs. Changing a name or definition doesn’t change truth.
    More gobbly-gook from the party of nonsense. So boring. That is part of why people are turning off to all this global theater about CO2 being bad. It’s not.

    • Elwood P. Dowd says:

      CO2 is NOT bad!! It’s just a molecule that absorbs infrared radiation (aka “heat”), warming the air!! Warmer air leads to warmer land and waters.

      Average gas price in Nov 2024 was $3.19/gal, Jan 2026 was $2.96, according to Mr trump’s Bureau of Labor Statistics.

      https://www.macrotrends.net/3591/us-gasoline-prices

      In St Louis area, $2.79 is a “popular” price.

      Gasoline pump price variations are largely determined by the price of crude oil. The United States is the leading producer of crude oil for now. Crude oil prices, like murder, have been droppiing since 2022. Total global crude production has largely leveled since 2015. As US production increases, OPEC+ decreases, thanks to Mohammad bin Salman.

        I paid $2.48 Saturday, down from $3.35 when Autopen/Harris was defeated.

      • Voice of Reason says:

        Why not name raindrops? And snowflakes? And dark clouds? OK, let’s get serious. Let’s name every gust of wind, every snowstorm, every rainstorm, every cloud (not just the dark ones), and all other weather activity. We the people have a right to know!!! Besides without CO2 we are dead.

    Yes the world is warming. No, it’s not a crisis. Climate is simply weather over time and weather changes daily. There was once a mile and a half of ice over what is now Central Park in NYC. It wasn’t SUVs or any human activity that melted it. The computer models that forecast more warming cant reliably back cast and Michael Mann and the rest of the climastrologers refuse to share the logic of their model.
