We are moving away from this idea of global warming and more toward the idea of regional patterns of warming, which are strongly shaped by ocean currents.

Can the Chicken Littles say "Medieval Warm Period".
Slowly but surely the biggest fraud ever committed against humanity is being revealed. AGWism, the "settled science" of unsettling lies.

Antigoracle,
How is "regional patterns of warming, which are strongly shaped by ocean currents" fundamentally any different than the phrase, "climate change"

The subsection of climate science which deals with the measurements of CO2 levels has been fundamentally consistent for decades, through all sorts of governmental changes across the entire globe, if the beans haven't been spilt yet, do you think there might be a reason?

Have fun waiting for your conspiracy to come true.

Also if it such a blatant fraud, how come you never mention anything wrong with the study's you question?

Specifically, what was wrong with these researchers methodology?

Your trusting the used car salesman over your buddy who is a mechanic, not a good move

As usual new discoveries upend one theory of global warming after another but the article like the others always makes excuses for the failure and discount that it means that we won't have catastrophic change.

I predicted a long time ago that the ocean like the air could have "weather." I'm brilliant because this never occurred to global warming scientists who assumed the ocean was static. Let me clue you in on another of my incredibly brilliant insights. The sun has weather. I've been saying it for decades. It's not static. I know they do say that it varies but they deny any patterns could exist like the PDO/AMO.

This article admits moreover that there are ocean cycles that take hundreds perhaps even a thousand years. It has been my contention that this could explain the phenomenon of the little ice age or even the roman and midieval warm period. Ultimately ocean cycles like this may have basis in weather on the sun or even weather in the core that reveals itself.

Several years ago during a class on global warming the head of LLNL climate modeling said the MWP and LIA were regional because the south pole didn't warm at the same time. Oh it turns out the south pole isn't warming during this AGW maybe it's regional warming? Or maybe the LIA and MWP werent regional after all. Nothing is settled. It's all malarky and everyone knows it even the scientists. They have no idea.

Aha...so this "study" was written to detract from the views of global warming "deniers".

" ...and an inconsistent pattern of warming often seized on by climate deniers."

It is an inconsistent pattern simply because the Earth is a dynamo of CHANGE, healing herself and making accommodations for whatever has to be made right.
EARTH DOES NOT ADAPT - SHE CORRECTS. She has always done so - past, present and future.
AGWites still don't understand this concept - that humans and animals depend on all that CO2 that is eventually absorbed by plants that produce O2. The more plants there are, the more O2 is produced. If the WHOLE EARTH was one big forest, all of the atmospheric CO2 would be locked in that forest, and the forest would eventually die when there is no more CO2 for it to absorb/feed on.

jomatty,

As usual, another Denierside troll seizes upon new findings to claim that AGW has been overturned and disproven.

And you typify the moron troll breed.

NOTHING HAS CHANGED.

Except, of course, for our understanding of the mechanism that keeps the Antipodes relatively colder than the Arctic.

Now get up on your straw donkey and get out of Science Town.

Except for the fact that the Earth is not "one big forest"-- in fact, less so with each passing day, idiot.

And the word you are seeking is EQUILIBRIUM.

Not "correct".

No, not equilibrium....I said CORRECT...READ IT RIGHT THIS TIME.

I predicted a long time ago that the ocean like the air could have "weather."

Yes and we call some of those events "El Niño" and "NAO".

But the culprit had been wrongly identified as churning, frigid seas mixing extra heat downward.

Hey Chicken Littles, we know your minds are closed to the truth, now close your eyes.

"Observations and climate models show that the unique currents around Antarctica continually pull deep, centuries-old water up to the surface - seawater that last touched Earth's atmosphere before the machine age, and has never experienced fossil fuel-related climate change."

The only way that seawater of that 'nature' could be locked up tight such as described, would be in the form of ice or slurry, or is anaerobic in a solution of molecules that prevent that seawater from rising and mixing naturally.
Normal seawater readily mixes with other normal seawater, which circulates around the Earth. How did they differentiate that particular seawater from normal seawater? Did it have a sign in it saying that it is "centuries-old" virgin water?
Who do they think they're kidding?

Higher deuterium ratio.

Never in the history of man has so much been written by those that express their opinion as fact.

"The study resolves a scientific conundrum, and an inconsistent pattern of warming often seized on by climate deniers."

Yeah.... the author is one of those true believers. I get the sense that him and his ilk would love to round up all those 'deniers' and.... well I guess do the typical stuff fanatics like to do to unbelievers.

I just read about deep hole drilling where the depth reached to about 40,000 feet. It was reported that the drilling had to stop because the temperature exceeded 500 degrees F. Even at much shallower depths the temperature was still well in the excess of 200 degree F. What I cannot understand is how the rock formation at the depth the same depth of the bottom of the ocean at the antarctic is still very hot yet the ocean water is very cold. So why is there such a difference between the water temperature and the rock formation located at the the same depths as the water but not under the ocean.

The simplest explanation is this:

The Earth would be much colder if it wasn't surrounded by an atmospheric "blanket" that traps the sun's heat. Greenhouse gases (GHG) are responsible for trapping this heat. So, without GHG, this planet would be a cold, lifeless rock. But since GHG traps the sun's energy in the system, increasing them traps more heat and this heat builds up causing climatic changes. To predict these changes, the impact of the mechanism (the greenhouse effect) needs to be modelled to the system.

This is the fundamental that underpins climate science: the models merely map the impact of the extra energy that *must be in the system* because of the greenhouse effect. It is not possible for the levels of GHG in the system to increase without warming the Earth.

How that energy manifests will have regional variations and nobody ever said otherwise.

These are BASIC facts of physics. If your comment doesn't take this into account, it wasn't worth writing.

How deep does AGW Cult lies go?
Deeper than old Antarctic water.

Actually, AGW is small compared to the evolution fantasy that many people have subscribed to.

Umm let me put it this way, ok?
Evolution is an afterthought of Creation. Without Evolution each life form that ever was, would have remained the same until things got so bad for them that there was no other way but to go extinct. That includes Homo sapiens and Neanderthalensis. Have you ever noticed how dog breeders can take two different dog types and mate them so that the resulting offspring are very different from either parent? Breeding is a form of Evolution.
You can't have a Creation event and let it go at that. You MUST allow it to evolve into something better, or it will die after a few generations. The Creator did not create life so that it could stagnate and never adapt to changing conditions. The Creator used pure Logic and Reason.

Only one answer to the way this thread degenerated;

Audio only, sorry about the accent :)

Where did I say that the Earth IS one big forest, asshole? You need a new eyeglass prescription, apparently, or are you just seeing what you want to see?
No, not equilibrium....I said CORRECT...READ IT RIGHT THIS TIME.

ottosocks,

The Earth is passive, and doesn't "correct" anything. The various conditions arising from its formation and instantaneous position in space, relative to the other nearby bodies that are close enough to have a measurable energetic effect upon it are the only factors contributing to its energy budget.

Excepting the effects of human activity, of course. Therefore the "A" in AGW. The ongoing state of the Earth is no more than the sum of those forces seeking EQUILIBRIUM.

So --again, MORON-- the right word is equilibrium.

"The Word for World is Forest" is the title of a science fiction novel. It didn't fly as an analogy -or whatever else you intended it to be.

"Observations and climate models show that the unique currents around Antarctica continually pull deep, centuries-old water up to the surface - seawater that last touched Earth's atmosphere before the machine age, and has never experienced fossil fuel-related climate change."

The laws of physics are no more miscible than scientific illiteracy and commenting on a science forum.

Why don't you look up terms like "Density", Thermohaline", "Thermocline", and "Thermal/
Salinity/Density Stratification" --and get back to us.

The rest of your post is not only wrong, but doubly so, since it follows entirely incorrect assumptions.

As soon as you post something factually correct, you may be given a fair hearing.

But not until then.

This is settled politics so deniers should shut up.

I'm brilliant because this never occurred to global warming scientists who assumed the ocean was static.

Well, "brilliant" might be a stretch but above average wouldn't be :)

Yeah. Well done.

The laws of physics are no more miscible than scientific illiteracy and commenting on a science forum..

Are you seriously proposing there's no mixing of gasses/liquids across a dynamic thermocline? The troposphere doesn't exchange gas with the stratosphere? Can we have some further discussion on this?

"The old idea was that heat taken up at the surface would just mix downward"

Sure. because all physicists know before birth that heat goes down.

This is no longer in the realms of complex scientific debate. Facts on the ground are starting to speak for themselves, this article and other fairly advanced articles are merely galvanising the science behind man mind climate change. To deny what you are reading, or to latch on to your last flailing straws of counter argument indicate the level of desperation that is common with the death throws of failed theory and injured ego.

Facts on the ground are starting to speak...

Yet, the Chicken Littles, in their willful ignorance, refuse to listen to the truth, preferring the lies that sustain their doom and gloom.

Imagine, 66 peer reviewed (debunked) explanations for the pause and when they ran out of excuses, they cooked up one claiming the pause did not exist. http://hockeyscht...-26.html

This paper directly debunks the dozens before it that claimed man made CO2 was responsible for melting the Antarctic. Yet, the fact on the ground, is that continent sits atop very active geothermal activity, as is Greenland.

a scientific conundrum, and an inconsistent pattern of warming

Oh no, a conundrum, the bane of cults everywhere. You know that other infamous cult; the church, from which the AGW Cult takes their lead, has the best answer to conundrums -- "God works in mysterious ways". Well, since the AGW Cult is too stupid to realize it, let me suggest that, instead of fabricating preposterous lies that contradict the ones you spewed before, just proclaim -- "CO2 works in mysterious ways"

Yet, the Chicken Littles, in their willful ignorance, refuse to listen to the truth, preferring the lies that sustain their doom and gloom.

If anthropogenic climate change were shown to be false, I would be the first one to throw a party. By the baleful laments of climate scientists actually studying this stuff, my guess is that they would all join me, at least in spirit.

Imagine, 66 peer reviewed (debunked) explanations for the pause and when they ran out of excuses, they cooked up one claiming the pause did not exist.

What I find incredible is how you can continue to be so desperate, and not feel any shame for it.

The pause hypothesis is DEAD. The last nail in its coffin was the paper by Karl et. al. At least find something else that hasn't been so thoroughly debunked.

It's time to stop living in denial. Come to terms with reality, and start being proactive.

Dr. Phil Jones – CRU emails – 7th May, 2009
'Bottom line: the 'no upward trend' has to continue for a total of 15 years before we get worried.'
There it is, the High Priest of the AGW Cult WORRIED that there is no warming.

The pause hypothesis is DEAD. The last nail in its coffin was the paper by Karl et. al.

66 peer reviewed explanations from the cult for the pause and then one from Karl, who ignored the GOLD standard ARGO data which showed the oceans cooling, and instead COOKED the faulty ship data to get rid of the pause, like they did the MWP.
What I don't find incredible is that you can remain ignorant and feel happy about it.

If Man is responsible for climate change, do we get credit for stopping hurricanes making landfall in Florida for the past 3000 days? (All during dire forecasts) Climate Change is great!
Regional Patterns of warming??? So how does one know what the Earth's temp is? Taking an average? Average of what? Which weather stations does one choose? At what time of day? How does one establish a baseline from so many separate stations? How many YEARS of data are required by Mathematics to establish a surface temperature baseline? Which one of you determines the "correct" temperature anyway?

Dr. Phil Jones – CRU emails – 7th May, 2009
'Bottom line: the 'no upward trend' has to continue for a total of 15 years before we get worried.'

Yes, worried that our science is wrong.

There is absolutely no room for nuance in your thought process. One can be worried the science is wrong and still be happy that what they predicted through the science is wrong.

66 peer reviewed explanations..

Imma stop you right there at 66. Think about that number for a second. 66 peer reviewed papers vs....TENS OF THOUSANDS of peer reviewed papers arguing that global warming is occurring as a result of human activity. If you are so concerned about peer review, I wonder why you so readily dismiss the overwhelming other body of knowledge that says AGW is a fact. Why trust the peer review process for these 66 papers, but dismiss it for everything else?

Why, it's almost as if you're indulging in confirmation bias, or something...

Why trust the peer review process for these 66 papers, but dismiss it for everything else?

LOL.
Is there a competition between you Chicken Littles to prove you are the dumbest in the flock?

"..... we have to redefine what the peer-review literature is!" Phil Jones, AGW Cult High Priest
Yep, why trust peer review.

"..... we have to redefine what the peer-review literature is!" Phil Jones, AGW Cult High Priest
Yep, why trust peer review.

So, let me get this straight. You trust 66 papers confirming your bias because they are peer reviewed, but you don't trust the other 19000+ because they are peer reviewed.

Also, every climate scientist to ever publish is just Phil Jones in a human face mask.

Makes sense--I mean, not to me--but if I snort copious amounts of cocaine, it would make sense.

Also, even though Jones wrote this, the two papers he was referring to actually made it to the IPCC report, and so were not censored by peer review.

But, sure, climate scientists making rude comments about research they disagree with definitely is persuasive evidence that peer review is wrong. Absolutely nothing wrong with that line of reasoning. No siree.

Your life must be delightfully uncomplicated.

So, let me get this straight. You trust 66 papers confirming your bias because they are peer reviewed, but you don't trust the other 19000+ because they are peer reviewed.

Ok. Let me give it to you straight...hey...hey.. standup and pull your pants back on.
What you so, in your willful ignorance, fail to realize, is that it's the same "scientists" who peer reviewed the 19000+ and the 66. Now they got it wrong 66 out of 66, so imagine how many of the 19000+ they got wrong also.

Your life must be delightfully uncomplicated.

Just imagine if you could grow a brain, yours could be too.

...hey...hey.. standup and pull your pants back on.

Who said I was wearing pants, in the first place?

What you so, in your willful ignorance, fail to realize, is that it's the same "scientists" who peer reviewed the 19000+ and the 66.

uhhh...no...different scientists peer review different research articles. Do you even know how peer review works? I once coauthored a paper, and simply for doing that, received invitations to review other papers in that field.

Though, again, you seem to think that every single climate scientist is Phil Jones in disguise, so, it makes sense that you would think that the same set of scientists peer reviewed every single paper.

Also, that's just a bad argument. I can't believe I need to explain this to you.

What is 66/19000? 0.3%?

You are saying that since peer review was wrong about 0.3% (actually probably less), we should be suspicious of the other 99.7%?

No, you aren't desperate at all...

I've got him on mute. I only have the misfortune to read his inane comments if somebody else quotes him

I once coauthored a paper, and simply for doing that, received invitations to review other papers in that field.

Well, thanks for clearing that up. It certainly explains the failure of peer review.

Also, that's just a bad argument. I can't believe I need to explain this to you.

What is 66/19000? 0.3%?

LOL. You win the prize for that one.
It's 19000 trying to explain the global warming and 66 attempting to explain the PAUSE and being 100% wrong. And, talking about bad argument, if you are going to lump them together then learn arithmetic. It's 66/19066.

If Man is responsible for climate change, do we get credit for stopping hurricanes making landfall in Florida for the past 3000 days? (All during dire forecasts) Climate Change is great!
Regional Patterns of warming??? So how does one know what the Earth's temp is? Taking an average? Average of what? Which weather stations does one choose? At what time of day? How does one establish a baseline from so many separate stations? How many YEARS of data are required by Mathematics to establish a surface temperature baseline? Which one of you determines the "correct" temperature anyway?

ANOTHER poster with a complete lack of knowledge who feels the need to spout nonsense on a science site! The list of the ignored grows longer by the day!

It certainly explains the failure of peer review.

Or the background that allowed me to co-author a paper accepted in a journal was the same background that made me eligible to peer review a paper in that same field.

But, when you are a crackpot, any possibilities that challenge your argument are immediately false.

It's 66/19066.

Haha. You are so cute.
1) Don't know what the denominator is. It's an estimate. It could be 19066. It's probably larger.
2) I'm estimating. Learn about it. 19000 is several orders of magnitude larger than 66. Given that I don't know the exact number, and it is likely larger than that, anyway, a conservative denominator STRENGTHENS my point. The extra 66 is negligible.

Of course, if your level of math training is high school, of course you're going to think it makes you look superior, if you "correct" a negligible term. It's a bit like trying to look superior debating an literature scholar by nitpicking grammatical errors.

He is a moron. Nothing can be done.

You're right. Actually, people like him factor largely into why I simply don't comment as much here, anymore, especially when I am immersed in much more interesting research. Every so often, though, he/she just says something so stupid/ignorant, I feel compelled to say something.

It's like the balance between smart and stupid has been shattered and must be restored.

It's a bit like trying to look superior debating an literature scholar by nitpicking grammatical errors.

LOL. That analogy sure makes you sound like a "scientist"...no wait...idiot..that's the word.
It's no wonder you couldn't get that it's not about peer review but the fact that 66 out of 66 attempts to explain away the global warming pause got it wrong.
The fact that this paper shows the climate models got it wrong
Thanks for the humour at least you idiots are good for a laugh.

It's like the balance between smart and stupid has been shattered and must be restored.

Well, you know what they say "You can't spell stupid without U"

It's no wonder you couldn't get that it's not about peer review but the fact that 66 out of 66 attempts to explain away the global warming pause got it wrong.

No, all that demonstrates is that 66 people had a hypothesis, offered plausible enough reasons for it to be published in a journal, and then had it disproven later on by the peer review process.

You really don't understand how peer review works.

When something passes editors and is published in a journal, that doesn't make it correct. It makes it worthy of scrutiny by scientific peers--at least in the expert opinion of the editors. Once that has happened, it is examined by said peers. If it is controversial, like the pause hypothesis, it is not resolved for years. Over time, the weight of scientific results then converge on its veracity. Sometimes, the hypothesis is amended. Other times, like this one, it simply does not hold up to extended scrutiny, and passes into the realm of defunct theories.

He is a moron. Nothing can be done.

Actually, people like him factor largely into why I simply don't comment as much here, anymore

I have noticed a dearth of comments on a range of very interesting articles on this topic and was wondering if that was the reason. The mods refuse to shut down off topic and irrelevant comments I guess because they like the 'controversy'. But I think it's affecting their readership.

LOL. I'm sure you were hoping I had forgotten when last we shared words. It must have been over 6 months ago when you left to try and prove your claim that the warming oceans were absorbing more CO2.

Just goes to show, you can't keep a "good" turd down.

Agreed, and in the same place. There's little reward in arguing with imbeciles and it seems like every conversation gets overwhelmed by the stupefying banality of those like oracle or szucs.

It must have been over 6 months ago when you left to try and prove your claim that the warming oceans were absorbing more CO2.

I told you I was going to analyze data, then get back to you with the results. I would not have "left to prove the warming oceans were absorbing more CO2". That would have been crazy.

I did not realize it at the time, but the analysis I was planning on doing was a little more involved than I realized, especially in view of the fact that my life has been very, very, busy lately. I got married, bought a house, discovered a very interesting automorphism--typical life stuff. Thus, I deferred it--perhaps indefinitely. And I am comfortable with that decision, and comfortable also with what you might think of me for it--be it sham, or idiot, or whatever. I don't need or want to prove myself to you.

Also, let's be honest. Should I perform the analysis, you'll simply tell me to grow a brain or something equally puerile. What would be the point?

You got yourself a degree and in your delusions imagine yourself better than you are. So you find a Wikipedia link to partial pressure and make your ignorant boast and challenge. But, guess what, you lack common sense and so could not realize that it was impossible to do with the available data. So, instead of admitting that, you choose to be the "perfect" Chicken Little and make up excuses and lies. I don't need you to prove yourself, because I knew exactly, from your posts.

The reason is because rock is a very good insulator of heat, and sea water is not.

Again, you are wrong. The Earth is NOT passive. She seeks to correct anything that is out of place. As I said before: "It is an inconsistent pattern simply because the Earth is a dynamo of CHANGE, healing herself and making accommodations for whatever has to be made right."
The Earth can never attain equilibrium as long as she is in flux with constant movement and motion and upheaval. As long as there are fissures, chasms, and rifts or faults, the Earth will always seek to CORRECT that geology.

Uh huh. Talking about blowing things out of your rear. Have you figured out what you were referring to, above.

LOL
Me too.

So...have you figured out when this exchange you mentioned was, yet, or are you talking out of your ass as usual?

Are you relating to your "talking out of your ass" question in a literal sense, and are you using it euphemistically to describe your attraction to your imagery of the nether portion of the male human body? Ass or arse, do you find a certain "thrill" in mentioning an "ass" and the purported ability to talk through it?
You should really get together with CapnStrumpy, if you haven't already. She/he talks out of her ass on a regular basis. But be prepared to provide substantiation for all of your allegations so that she can check your accuracy in Wikipedia. Oh wait...Rumpy never asks for substantiation when the claim is pro-Standard Einsteinian Model. So you're safe.

just more alarmist BS, give it another ten years and they will all be looking for new careers

Who knows what they'll be doing, but I'll still be squatting over my mother in her basement.

Again, you are wrong. The Earth is NOT passive. She seeks to correct anything that is out of place. As I said before: "It is an inconsistent pattern simply because the Earth is a dynamo of CHANGE, healing herself and making accommodations for whatever has to be made right."
The Earth can never attain equilibrium as long as she is in flux with constant movement and motion and upheaval. As long as there are fissures, chasms, and rifts or faults, the Earth will always seek to CORRECT that geology.

Otiose_Squawk,

Just WTF are you on about? Are you claiming that the Earth is alive and sentient?

Or are you just too illiterate to make yourself clearly understood?

My money's on the latter, but --in either case-- don't quit your day job greetin' at Walmart, because there is a less than zero possibility that you can make a career out of your pseudoscience blogging efforts.
