El Niño is here and could bring warmer temperatures, more extreme weather patterns

[jc456]

The oceans take up 90% of all energy within the system. El nino just brings some of it to the surface and adds extra warming to the atmosphere. So in a way it is global warming. Remember, global warming is literally only the natural forcings + human forcing being mashed together to increase the temperature of our planet. The oceans are a very big part of this and the short term climatic patterns are enhanced.

No it’s not!! Here, how much of the globe will it affect?

Will it affect either pole? No

El Nino has been coming and going for thousands of years. Nothing to do with the climate hoax.

that 'hoax' is fully peer-reviewed decades worth of research and analysis by scientists.
just because El Nino has been here for thousands of years, does NOT mean that it can't worsen DUE TO climate change caused by man (methane, co2, other greenhouse gasses and deforestation).

The Hoax is paying scientists for a predetermined outcome and silencing anyone who disagrees.

How are they being paid and who is being silenced?

Environmental foundations and groups pay scientists who find evidence of climate change. They do not pay for findings that climate change is bullshit. Those scientists that dare to voice contrary opinions can expect no funding, to be denounced publicly. They are professionally punished.

The bigger question is why do we even want to believe in such patent nonsense? Why did we once believe that alar in apples would kill people; Y2K was the end of the world. Why? Why is reality so roundly rejected? By the way, yesterday was the end of the world. Did you notice?

Climate change is nonsense. It is joined in our current Idiocracy by a firm belief that men can become women by thinking about it and can birth babies. Women can become men, just by thinking about it and get men pregnant. We are suffused with fol de rol trying to pass as knowledge and wisdom. Companies want to build huge facilities to capture CO2 from the air and store it in underground containers. John Kerry said so. Give them lots of money.

Down here on the Gulf Coast, we tend to enjoy El Nino years because they usually mean fewer landfalling hurricanes in the Gulf area. Of course, we never forget that it only takes ONE...
We had a "minimal" storm about 3 years back named Sally and it caused a massive loss of trees, but not due to extreme winds. It was a Cat 1. It caused so much damage because it sat off shore and dumped rain for 3 days before the 80 mph winds came through. Here's hoping for a weak season this year.

That El Nino we had back in 1997 that lasted almost a year, fucked up the weather patterns over the Southern USA.
