It gets better (or worse) by the day. HTDS (Hunga Tonga Derangement/Denial Syndrome) is a thing and it’s becoming firmly embedded in academia. I was alerted to this paper by a tweet from Ryan Maue on X: AMO as it turns out contributed only a very modest amount to the warming in 2023. According to the authors of
"why the desperate and concerted attempt to exclude Hunga Tonga from any role in the unique warming spike of 2023"
Because mentioning Natural processes (a.k.a. variation) is like a certain young bespectacled wizard mentioning the name Voldemort. Bad things happen when you place other gods before the almighty CAGW and when you stop believing mass numbers of polar bear, penguins and koalas die instantly. So please repeat "I do believe in Fairy Science, I do believe in Fairy Science" and we can keep the faith. Praise be.
The issue here as always is that this is just a paper. It doesn’t automatically mean it is correct and it far from being sufficient for taking real world action based on it.
But the acolytes think every climate prognostication is the truth. Meanwhile real world grifters and grifting laws are in place leeching money and productivity from society
HTDS- Love it!
What are they going to say if the abnormal warming continues beyond the point when the El Niño effect must have dissipated?
They are making it up, see the ENSO Multivariate Index: https://psl.noaa.gov/enso/mei/
I admit I don't know how this it compiled but explain me this; Why does the now-waning 2023-24 El Nino look so puny relative to the unprecedentedly large post Hongo Tonga spike in globaltemperateres? https://www.drroyspencer.com/wp-content/uploads/UAH_LT_1979_thru_March_2024_v6_20x9.jpg
