2009 was a modest El Nino which ended quickly. 1997 was the strongest El Nino in a century.
10 years of global warming now mean even a modest El Nino is as hot as the strongest in a century.
At least know we agree the planet is warming which is progress.
And here's the SSTs around Australia - the trend is obvious. And the unprecedent heat in our oceans is why we've had just insane humidity around Australia the last 6 months. Hotter oceans -> more evaporation -> higher humidity.
HB your chart clearly shows the Australian seawater temp rising in the past 110 years. WHAT WATER WHERE!!??
0.8C/hundred years......well we are all safe then! The warmists have us warming at 0.5C/year and about to "tip over" arnt they. Talk about shooting onself in the foot!
Why does HB's post stick? - I bet mine will be deleted - something smells here.!
Still humid here today, 32C and a sweaty round of golf, cloud cleared to a hot sunny and calm arvo, baro kicked up to 1010hPa.
