La Niña-- Taking a third deep dip...

[ding]

Back in reality, ocean heat content goes _up_ during a La Nina. We know this because the thermometers say so. The surface temps of one section of the Pacific are not a measure of total ocean heat content. Around the world, we measure down to 2000m depth using Argo floats, which have an accuracy of 0.002 degrees. Yes, that's not a typo.

No matter what the ENSO cycle state is, the oceans pretty much absorb the same amount of solar and backradiation energy. The oceans emit less heat to the atmosphere during a La Nina, so more heat stays in the oceans. During an El Nino, more heat is emitted, so ocean heat content stabilizes or dips a bit. But since the backradiation has risen so much due to CO2, the trend is inexorably up.

This is basic stuff, and you all faceplant at it. Given your ignorance of the topic, you shouldn't be bothering the grownups.

Seems like the expected behavior of an interglacial cycle to me.

Given the length of the cycle, we should be able to see it in trend within about 2-3 years.

Looking at the satellite record, I have marked where the 3 cycles occurred and the step ups. Now we have three major decreases which should result in the same reaction but be a step down.

Where?


Why?


Do you think that disproves reality.

I gave you empirical evidence... What you choose to do with it is on you.

You presented one tiny piece of weather and claim that it represents climate.


Sorry not buying it.

You've been predicting a NewIceAgeRealSoonNow non-stop for at least 10 years now.

Your record of failure there is perfect and unblemished. So why should anyone believe you now?

Answer: They shouldn't, and they don't. See: _The Boy Who Cried Wolf_.

We are already in an ice age which is around 2.6 million years old.

Try again.

We have been in an ICE AGE for some time, with short bursts of warmth called interglacials...

mamooth the ice age began 3 million years ago.

Your ignorance is painful to see as the evidence is abundant in literature something you are highly allergic to.

Ice Age​

An ice age is a period in which the earth's climate is colder than normal, with ice sheets capping the poles and glaciers dominating higher altitudes. Within an ice age, there are varying pulses of colder and warmer climatic conditions, known as 'glacials' and 'interglacials'. Even within the interglacials, ice continues to cover at least one of the poles. In contrast, outside an ice age temperatures are higher and more stable, and there is far less ice all around. The earth has thus far made it through at least five significant ice ages.

One glance at our icy poles and frozen peaks makes it clear that our current epoch (the Holocene, c. 12,000-present day) actually represents an interglacial within the ice age that spans the Quaternary geological period, which started around 2,6 million years ago and encompasses both the Pleistocene (c. 2,6 million years ago - c. 12,000 years ago) and the Holocene epochs.

We are currently near the end of the Interglacial phase (Warm) eventually to the next Glaciation phase (Cold) that will be coming possibly in the next few hundred years from now.
