This year's El Nino is wonderful. Today Calgary is warmer than DC, and Billings is warmer than Tucson. Here in Spokane we've had less snow than Oklahoma. Thanks, weather gods!

In keeping with the Hunga Tonga hypothesis could we also endeavor to include oceanic seismic anomaly’s as having an unaccounted impact on global climate. It seems to me that this phenomenon has been vastly overlooked.

There’s a lot going on down there 🌎

Maybe Solzhenitsyn did not know a fiery woman who although banned in many places continued to fight and sacrifice herself.

It is obvious that the current El Nino is still relatively weak, see Nino 3.4: https://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/CDB/Tropics/figt5.gif.

Moreover, some are saying the El Nino is already waning: https://www.foxweather.com/weather-news/when-will-el-nino-end-answer-forecast.

The establishment are not going to get away with blaming the current record warming on El Nino and they are going to look very bad for having covered up Hunga Tongo.

The establishment might just get away with it if sceptics concur that it was El Nino, which had only just surpassed the 0.5C ONI threshold in June 2023, which miraculously bumped up global temperatures during summer 2023 beyond even that which the 2015/16 Super El Nino could only manage at its peak. The whole notion is patently absurd and it astounds me that sceptics are promoting this ridiculous explanation in line with the establishment.

As I keep saying, if global temperatures do not dip sharply in the spring, but remain high, then this will almost certainly prove that El Nino was not the main driver of the summer/autumn warmth in 2023.

You will find plenty of differing perspectives on Hunga Tonga at Wattsupwiththat.com. I have read there pieces arguing that it isn't likely to be El Nino and Hunga Tonga is the best explanation.

I've noticed commenters arguing for a significant influence of Hunga Tonga, but haven't seen any posts specifically, though I might have missed them.

Hoarding knowledge? Is that what Young is about?
