You stick to your guns, Jamie!

Have you noticed the dread Ozone Hole brigade are in full retreat, incidentally?

Years ago when I worked at NASA, a research scientist there told me that the ozone hole had been measured only so recently that no one could say what normal was. Yet this was the 80s and the "mankind bad" juggernaut was already chugging away from the station and there was a lot of money involved.

We live in the most “interesting” times from the standpoint that the times are hair-pulling frustrating and scream inducing times, possibly the worst times since the beginning of time! Most of the ridiculous nonsense that is spouted out today is on purpose but what gets me going are the people who read/hear this garbage and are completely convinced of its validity because it was news on MSM!

Excellent research and reasoning as always Jaime. Useful set of linked papers, well worth reading. The Tonga Water Vapour is so unprecedented, it’s totally ingenious of those who presume to know there is little effect. The jury is out on this one.

Haven’t heard of climate4you, will have to take a look.

The latest stratosphere water vapour shows how little change there has been.

Thanks for the wv update. All things being equal, we might reasonably expect the warmth to continue and not plummet precipitously post El Nino, even if a La Nina develops later in the year. Of course all things are not equal and there is much still to learn, but planet earth has set up a unique laboratory to explore the complex web of cause and effect over the coming year, so it should be interesting.

Agree, very interesting times. I’m hopeful tempts stay up beyond the El Niño spike, to keep the Tonga and the increased absorbed solar energy quashed debates alive. It’s becoming increasingly comical all the new hypothesis on just what CO2 can achieve.

I'm on holiday (Lanzarote again) and I've only been skimming my posts and when I saw your post headining this Ole chap I didn't connect who he was. I assumed some hand-wringing climate propagandist, until I remembered the GWPF post you refer to which I had quickly deleted in disgust.

The GWPF need to get their act together and preferably retract that post. They should be treating the establishment's Hunga Tonga cover-up as the biggest climate change scandal since Climategate in 2008.

Humlum is the author of the excellent sceptic website https://www.climate4you.com/ which I have used for years in order to get up to date, impartial data and observations. This is why the nonsense which he is currently spouting about El Nino and Hunga Tonga (endorsed by GWPF) is so disappointing and out of character. It does make me wonder what the hell is going on inside people's minds these days.

I didn't know of his Climate4You connection - it's a very anonymous website. I've used it myself for his AMO graph.
