Interesting find glenn. Does this help explain why the OHC of the Arctic Sea has been declining since 2003? Sigurdur, The Gulf Stream slowing at the about the same time the OHC peaks and then starts declining seems like an awfully big coincidence. The more I read about this the more it is clear that there many more factors than just CO2 influencing our climate. But............but..........Glenn, this is settled science. Just observe the Climate Models, and peace will enter your realm. Complete knowledge. No need to fret, ponder, nor observe. And if you don't believe me, just ask the folks over at SS. I am sure they will shield you from any distractions. |

Glenn:
Looks like it might rain near you.

Glenn: Looks like it might rain near you. /photo/1 Sigurdur, It looks like the old saying "drought begets drought" has never been truer. The heavy soaking rains they predicted for our area just never really materialized. Light mist so far with just a trace in most areas of South Texas. Still have a shot tomorrow but it don't look good. |

IF, and that is a big IF, there is frost along the I-70 corridor.....the corn and soy market will react.
As always, cold is the enemy when it comes to growing crops.

One can only hope! The models were forecasting several inches this weekend that never materialized. Hopefully this next round associated with a freakishly strong cold front for this late in the year will bring at least 1/2 of what some of the models are forecasting. |

Well, I am rooting for you Glenn. I am on the western edge of 1+ inches forecast, don't really want any at this time. And some warmth would most certainly be welcomed.
North Dakota is a ripe area for proxy records. Did you know that the variation of CO2 here shows that it has been higher than present in the recent past using lake bottom stoma records?
Anyways, aside from that, I was looking at temps during the LIA period.......am NOT happy with what that looked like.
There was some wild swings, and I mean wild swings in a very short time frame regarding temperatures. And the swings weren't to the higher upside.

Awoke this morning to some pretty nasty storms. Most of South Texas received between 1.5" and 3" of much needed rain. I had no idea that CO2 has been higher then present at any time in the recent past and no one should be happy with what temps looked like during the LIA. It just goes to show you that we have been there and will certainly get back there again. Sooner or later. Only difference is we now have exponentially more mouths to feed. |

I like Joe and I hope he is correct. A moderate El Nino embedded within a cooler PDO may give us some relief. I find it interesting how so many long term forecasters are calling for some pretty substantial cooling starting around 2017-2020 range.
