Given the severity of the current el nino the temperature spikes being experienced now were widely expected by those who follow this stuff.

However unsurprisingly I have not seen the el nino component mentioned in any of the current gee wiz and golly wow stories being done on the subject.

yea, wow, I can’t see a trend in that graph at all…

They have been mentioned.

You’ll need to take your eye patches off first.

yep been mentioned and taken into account.

¿What temperature spikes, not on land that I’ve seen reports of, therefore on the ocean surface. And warming of the Pacific Ocean surface is the definition of El Nino.

Even less surprising is that the pseudo-sceptics (such as the person who produced the graph you posted), always mention El-nino when looking at new or internal peaks in a set of data, but never mention it when they have cherry-picked their data series to start at an El-nino peak.

I’ve read 3 stories on the temperature spikes, and every one has mentioned El Nino.

Maybe it’s just Murdoch journalists who are reporting that it isn’t being mentioned?

A quote from first hit on “temperature spike”:

The extraordinary global warmth was set in motion by the long-term climate-warming trend, but it surged to another level because of the record-challenging El Niño event that released into the atmosphere large quantities of heat stored in the tropical Pacific Ocean.

The heat injection helped this February pass February 1998, the previous record holder, by a whopping 0.47 degrees Celsius (0.85 Fahrenheit).

But to be fair to PWM, they don’t mention El-Nino once in the headline.

Roy Spencer..

“It is a little known fact that the extra carbon dioxide (and methane, an especially potent greenhouse gas) emitted by joggers accounts for close to 10% of the current Global Warming problem.”

I have also not seen any PDSD (Peak Daylight Savings Discussion) generated heat mentioned….

Fkn hopeless

To be fair to his pseudo-scepticalness Spencer, he was joking when he wrote that.

It’s only fair.
