NOAA puts up a “La Niña” Watch: “The Global Cooling Accelerator” cometh?

Is this the start of a cooler shift?

Cap Allon of Electroverse notes that we may be in for another La Nina:

The La Niña climate pattern is forecast to make a return this fall and last through the winter of 2021-22, according to an official “alert” issued Thursday, July 8 by the Climate Prediction Center (CPC), which suggests further global cooling as we enter the new year.

La Niña –-a natural cycle marked by cooler-than-average sea surface temperatures (SSTs) in the central Pacific Ocean-– is one of the main drivers of global weather — it is usually associated with colder global temperatures, droughts in the southern U.S., and increased precipitation in Australia.

Entering a La Niña event when global temperatures are already around baseline is significant.

If the climate pattern has the expected affect then we should brace for global temps to continue their overall downward trend –which began in 2016 (see link below)– to levels well below the norm.

We could conceivably be looking at UAH readings some 0.4C below the 30-year average by the spring of 2022.

    I’ll never forget the “predictions” of PIK and Schellnhuber in 2019, that with sophisticated maths and models they will be able to predict much better and earlier ENSO events and predicted a strong El Niño for the end of 2020.
    We all know, what really came 😀 😀 https://forum.kigges.de/images/smilies/muhaha.gif

      The serious weather phenomenon “El Niño” could soon occur again in the Pacific region. Researchers at Justus Liebig University Giessen (JLU), the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) and Bar-Ilan University in Ramat Gan, Israel, find that there will probably be another “El Niño” by the end of 2020. The prediction models commonly used do not yet see any signs of this. ?!?! because of reasons 😀
      “Conventional methods are unable to make a reliable ‘El Niño’ forecast more than six months in advance. With our method, we have roughly doubled the previous warning time,” stresses JLU physicist Armin Bunde, who initiated the development of the algorithm together with his former PhD student Josef Ludescher. Hans Joachim Schellnhuber, Director Emeritus of PIK, explains: “This clever combination of measured data and mathematics gives us unique insights – and we make these available to the people affected.” He points out that, of course, the prediction method does not offer one hundred percent certainty: “The probability of ‘El Niño’ coming in 2020 is around 80 percent. But that’s pretty significant.”

          A very good question even knowing you meant it rhetorically. During the recent Portland scorcher I asked the question on another blog “What are all the factors that go into the making of a record low or high temperature?” and was immediately challenged by the redoubtable Nick Stokes for even posing it. But it’s worth pondering just for the sake of delivering a reasonable answer to your question.

          What sort of probability distribution do record high and low temperatures follow? What sort of random process is this? And there is little use to answer that they follow an distribution of extreme values, because that simply side-steps what you are likely getting at, which is, that the mean value of this distribution is rising on a secular trend — it is not a stationary process. Can you point to a longer term measure of these high and low records beyond this year to date?

          William

          Allan, equipment may be the answer – our thermometers measure and record microbursts of heat and the BOM’s process is not to average out temperatures to eliminate those records, thus giving us perverted and to high highs. At the same time, they were found, in some cold climate areas, to not be recording temperatures below what the BOM had decided was the ultimate cold temp -10 degrees I think – thus giving us perverted and too high lows.

          Add to that the history changing ACORN Sat one and two that have cooled old temperature records to bring them into line with the current narrative, and eliminating the Federation drought from our official records, no wonder hot records are easy to break.

          So keeping in mind that the BOM records have a disproportionate impact on global surface temperature records, higher temperature records have a bias over low records. Other country’s official records are accused of being similarly tampered with so what is there to believe? All I know is that we are having another cold year in Australia that will by December be another record hot year!

      Poor unfortunate Peter. Bad luck with his comments showing his ignorance again.

      The heat dome was a highly localised weather event.

      USA as a whole had a negative temperature anomaly at the time.

      Has happened before, will happen again.

      There is absolutely zero link to any human causality.

      PF, I’m sure you’re familiar with:

      Where you can observe the yin/yang of hot/cold spots of WEATHER to your heart’s content.

      There is always a massive heatwave somewhere on earth, the fact that alarmists and the MSM ambulance chase them and report them feverishly and relentlessly does not make it alarming except to the profoundly ignorant and easily impressionable.

      The global temperature shows little connection to individual heatwaves, indeed when the media is screaming about a heatwave, the earth is as likely as not cooling over all.

        “The spike in Figure 3 reflects extreme, persistent heat waves in the Great Plains region during a period known as the “Dust Bowl.” Poor land use practices and many years of intense drought contributed to these heat waves by depleting soil moisture and reducing the moderating effects of evaporation.”

          The drought contributed to the heat waves which contributed to the drought. Excellent. It seems a bit circular, even though I suppose one could argue for this being an example of a feedback loop. What brings one out of the loop, however? I lived at the edge of the Great Plains and we had a wet 1940s, dry 1950s, dry/wet 1960s, wet 1970s and 1980s,…

            Forecasts: The persistent La Nina-like MEI supports some dynamic models forecasting La Nina to return later in 2021. Climate Impact Company is in agreement with these outlooks. The two top indicators of La Nina’s return are the NCEP CFS V2 and POAMA (models). Each model is AGGRESSIVE with building moderate-to-strong La Nina for quarter 4 of 2021.’

          Actually from the graphic most of the models – possibly 97% – are complete bollocks. The spread of predictions is a joke, looking like they gave some children some different coloured pencils and said ‘draw some lines’.

      The Klimatariat is well aware of the problem confronting them, which is why Judith Curry said they should look at natural variables in relation to weather and avoid this preoccupation with AGW.

      Temp has been declining, yes, but from its highest points, not from an average trend line. It’s currently closer to the longer-term slowly rising trend. This is not global ‘cooling’. It needs to be sustained well below the long-term trend to be a ‘cooling’ phase. Like 5 to 10 years below the “Hiatus’s” average Temp, then it might be the beginning of a cooling phase. We’re nowhere near that.

      But who knows with UHI and met-agencies playing Punch and Judy with the Temp ‘stats’. It’s humidity and winds which matter for heating and cooling effect, not the T transient spikes and dips, or the trends, and ENSO affects humidity and wind more than it affects Temp! That’s where ENSO’s real effect is. Neutral to slightly positive means no one knows.

      Let me know when any one of the met agencies can routinely make accurate ENSO forecasts for 30 or 40 years straight. Then I give a drop of credence to their ENSO forecasting. Pretty sure they didn’t suddenly figure it out.

          Reconstructions are often as worthy now as climate models, they vary, especially politically and ideologically and with funding aims. Mostly for the money, and also because that’s what people want to use them for, for some reason. In geology we used palaeoclimate reconstruction for its proper purpose, as a means to understand the processes of global sedimentary depositions, including marine. This is the very reason why such reconstructions exist. Bob Carter was one of my best lecturers on the topic, he was a sedimentary geologist, his knowledge all came from understanding palaeoclimate, but for not political or ideological and future projections, just so he could understand the earth better and teach people what we knew and how to understand it.

          People who try to divine the future from palaeo-reconstructions are wasting everyone’s time, plus using them for the wrong purposes. Their purpose is understanding sedimentation and morphology, and people doing that for a crust understand the limitations. And the uses are all OBSERVATIONAL. I map a sed outcrop, or I have a sed-core, now I need to understand it. What was its palaeo-environment of deposition? How was it laid down? That’s how palaeoclimate knowledge was, and is still accumulated, and utilized in its proper context. Any person not physically doing that with actual rocks and sed-cores is wasting everyone’s time. Especially if they’re making detailed future temp trend predictions based on palaeo-environment of deposition reconstructions for unconsolidated seds from 300 years ago, and especially if its about ENSO trend.

          What a load of useless blah-blah.

    So the people who believe CO2 controls our weather have issued a warning that the oceans actually control our weather/climates? As most scientists actually believe given that all the stored heat is in the oceans, or at least 99.93% or 1400:1.

    Next we will get a warning about the coincidence of the falling de Vries solar cycle! All as predicted by simple observational science, before ‘The Science’ of the carbon crazies.

      One of the difficulties in being objective about the ‘weather’ let alone the ‘climate’ is that we think of our immediate environment, sea level largely, on land largely and next to water, largely. That’s a very small part of the planet which is 75% covered in water (including Antarctica). And the oceans have an average depth of 3.4km

      At 1km under the ocean surface, there is no light, no wind, no weather and little life. And all of the oceans are obviously above 0C from bottom to the top. But we focus on our perceived narrow environment, not the real surface of this planet and not the drivers of our air temperature and rain, which are entirely the oceans and the sun.

      James Hansen who started this CO2 is pollution story is an upper atmosphere specialist who is besotted by the idea that his area of work is the most important in climate and ‘greenhouse gases’ the most important part of that. What if it’s not true? Unlike Venus, we still have a water planet, 340x as much water than air, by weight.

      His self aggrandizing fantasy has been going now for 33 years since his 1988 Congressional presentation on rapid global Global Warming, except that no one calls it Global Warming any longer, because that’s obviously not happened despite the best efforts of groups like our own BOM who are fiddling the records, even lowering heat records.

      Expect a rapid drop in world temperatures of about 2C in the next two decades. That fits the records and the well know ocean cycles and solar cycles, not the fantasy. El Nino is just one cycle but the expected and predictable drop in sun intensity will push us much lower. And as is pretty obvious, we will be utterly dependent on coal.

          Yes, it’s all about the manifestations of the exchange of energy. As pointed out by Bob Carter at the same time in Australia there was 6″ of rain a day for a week in Queensland while massive forest fires burned tinder dry Victoria. Neither of these is weather or climate, just events which manifest as extremes. The blaming of either or both on Global Warming of 1.5C in a century is illogical.

          However those gigantic oceans are fluid and subject to the same coriolus force induced by rotation which passes 1000km/hr at the equator and the great swirling patterns in 3D we know as currents. What they also do is transport huge amounts of energy up and down and around, like a giant washing machine. And in turn these have patterns which result in oscillations and those oscillations change surface temperatures and those surface temperatures change climates.

          Is any of this in the vaunted atmospheric computer models? As far as I know, no.

          Which is why we watch out for mysterious ‘El Nino’ events because we cannot predict them, even if they can change climates dramatically and for very long periods. Consider the Gulf Stream stopping.

          Rather as directed by the UN of WHO fame, we prefer to spend $1.5Trillion a year failing to control CO2, which we also cannot control. Because it too is part of sea surface temperature and in rapid equilibrium and we puny humans have no control at all.

          But Elon Musk will save the world. Apparently. And Bill Gates, who just lectured people who travel in private jets on the need to minimize CO2 output per person.

            The other idea which borders on religion in science is that while the (many) infallible (computer) models accurately predict the long term future, they are missing the major factors which we know control the temperature of the planet, the sun and the ocean oscillations. And how does anyone rationalize this as meaning the models are correct?

            Simple. They say it all averages out! Oscillations always are about a center point and so they can be ignored, which is science rubbish in a real world. Oscillations dissipate energy and the mean can move up and down, as is happening with both temperature and CO2.

            And the postulated idea that CO2 is forcing ocean temperatures up, the current fashionable idea, is not only unexplained but ignores the simple idea that the ocean is stuffed with CO2 and a warmer ocean surface means more ocean CO2 is released into the atmosphere. As 98% of all free CO2 is in the ocean, far more than anywhere else, it is simple known science and obvious. It took James Hanson to make up a far fetched idea about CO2 being a very powerful greenhouse gas and somehow now warming the oceans but not the air.

            Whatever else happens, we know the rapid cooling will be explained as Climate Change. Caused by warming. And CO2 going up is our fault and not natural.

    Here’s the latest BOM updates for ENSO, IOD and the SAM. Up to the 6th July and the next update 20th July.
    So far ENSO still neutral,but the IOD could be negative by late winter spring and that could be good news for rainfall south of the Broome to Wollongong line. But who knows? We’ll just have to wait and see.

    The last 50 years has been a population record buster for Africa ( 53 countries) and the world.
    The entire world pop has increased from 3.7 billion in 1970 to 7.8 bn today and Africa has increased from 363 million in 1970 to 1370 mil today. Or an increase of 1 bn in just 50 years and world pop has more than doubled ( another 4.1 bn) and in just 50 years.

    OH and in 1970 global life expectancy was about 57 and today is 73 and African life exp in 1970 was 47 and about 64 today. And higher percentage of urban living today in both Africa and the world. DUH?
    But the Biden donkey + EU + MSM etc tell us we Humans are facing an EXISTENTIAL threat or APOCALYPSE or CRISIS. Will these Malthusian fools ever WAKE UP??? IOW our GLOBAL rainfall and climate today can’t be too bad or am I missing something???

      Malthusian fools never wake up. They just go on television. (e.g. David A)
      The proposition of Malthus was disputed while he was alive, but it suited the UK government to use it as an excuse with famine in Ireland.
      Darwin based his theory on Malthus and ever since then those who believe The Science have never thought any more.

      The best comment was from Henry George (translated into Australian):
      Chicken hawks and humans eat chickens.
      The more Chicken hawks, the less chickens.
      The more humans, the more chickens.

      If humans majorly control the climate (LOL 🙂 ) then the slowing of the population growth rate should be welcome (see https://news.un.org/en/story/2019/06/1040621).
      However the major problem with slowing birth rates is that it skews the demographics of each nation. Prediction of the next 30 years — Africa’s population will grow fast at about 176% probably making it a better economically (child deaths are falling, life expectancy rising, education and health rates are rising – giving a large educated and productive workforce), while China’s is nearly stagnant at about 2%, that will slow it’s recent economical excess as not enough worker about to support all those elderly citizens.
      The big losers are Europe, Russia and Japan (all averaging around -15%) with their large elderly populations and shrinking workforce.

    AGAIN I have to point out that Dr Rosling’s BBC video proves that CLIMATE + Human HEALTH + WEALTH have been very positive over the last 200+ years. And STILL improving since 2010 to 2021 as well and even after taking a nasty global pandemic into account.

    But then again what’s so wonderful about the Little Ice Age when human life exp was under 40 and the 1 billion people alive then were definitely POOR and SICK???

    AGAIN this 5 minute video wrecks every argument about today’s so called terrible climate and the coming APOCALYPSE. And Dr Rosling’s short video + his 120,000 data points tell us the real history of the last 200+ years and all because of our use of fossil fuels. OH and 80%+ of our TOTAL global ENERGY today is STILL generated by coal, oil or gas.

      BoM is showing hesitancy in proclaiming a moderate La Nina, they admit the signs are there but its not in the script.

      ‘Most climate model outlooks indicate a neutral ENSO state is likely to continue for the remainder of the southern hemisphere winter and spring despite tropical Pacific sea surface temperatures slowly cooling over the coming six months. This may be contributing to the wetter than average climate outlooks for parts of Australia.’

      Yet BOM now routinely calls Coral Sea coastal troughs (with no eye or even closed circulation) a Category 2 to 3 named ‘cyclone’. I don’t know how many times I’ve seen them do it. They’re more brazen than any other met agency on Earth at creating fake and misleading cyclone ‘records’. The truth is we had about half the number of real cyclones BOM has named during the past 25 years. I’ve literally seen them call a sheared-up and degenerated tropical storm a category 5 cyclone!

      Got to wonder why they’re so mortified by the observational truths?

        David Maddison

        As usual the BoM “scientists” are trying to make the data fit the required narrative of there being more man-made cyclones. Reporting actual observational data is a poor career move, likely to result in being sacked.

        David Maddison

        Effectively, they are “homogenising” the number of cyclones just as they do with temperature so they can falsely claim higher temperatures or more cyclones.

        Is there an honest source of data from which the actual number of true cyclones can be determined?

    While the West freezes in the dark, the Chinese will be enjoying the full benefits of unrestricted use of coal, gas, nuclear and hydro power.

    Incidentally, the Chinese hydro projects give them the added benefit of controlling much of the world’s water supply, mostly via Tibet.

    China is most grateful to their slave army of useful idiots of the West (some of whom even post here) for propagandising on their behalf.

    https://www.aspistrategist.org.au/chinas-problematic-solution-to-its-water-security-woes/

    Importantly, the Yarlung Tsangpo dam will also provide Beijing with significant leverage over its strategic rival India at a time when tensions between the two countries are worsening. China controls the sources of 10 major rivers that flow through 11 countries and supply 1.6 billion people with water. As noted by Dechen Palmo of the Tibet Policy Institute, ‘[T]he future of Asia’s water lies in China’s hands.’

    A double dip La Nina would very likely create an extended cool period that would remove the effects of the super El Nino of 2016 and resurrect the pause, but this time a 25 year pause. This would be a very amusing outcome when you consider we were told that the warming after the super El Nino of 2015 was from CC and would continue onward and upward in line with extreme model predictions, rather than fall back to a flat line of instrumental denial. We can expect the adjustment bureau to be working overtime to fix this one.

      This is in line with my #8.1.1.1, the idea that you can ignore major events because everything ‘cancels out’ and the underlying effect of Carbon Dioxide is dominant.

      Only a science ignoramus would postulate that you can ignore everything but the one variable which someone insists is the only one which affects the planet and the only one not in balance.

      The fact is that CO2 is in constant fast equilibrium and there is no reason to think otherwise. We could not change CO2 levels if we tried and for 33 years we have tried, without the slightest impact of human activity visible in the CO2 record.

      So warming produces higher CO2 from the oceans where 98% is floating around, dissolved. Nothing could be simpler.

      Except the IPCC says ‘industrial’ CO2 is special and is trapped in the atmosphere forever. My father once told me Santa Claus did not exist. So I drove to the pub and drowned my sorrows.

        The other thing worth considering is that CO2 is heavier and industrial CO2 falls fairly close to the power plant, which is value adding fertiliser.

    Allan, equipment may be the answer – our thermometers measure and record microbursts of heat and the BOM’s process is not to average out temperatures to eliminate those records, thus giving us perverted and to high highs. At the same time, they were found, in some cold climate areas, to not be recording temperatures below what the BOM had decided was the ultimate cold temp -10 degrees I think – thus giving us perverted and too high lows.

    Add to that the history changing ACORN Sat one and two that have cooled old temperature records to bring them into line with the current narrative, and eliminating the Federation drought from our official records, no wonder hot records are easy to break.

    So keeping in mind that the BOM records have a disproportionate impact on global surface temperature records, higher temperature records have a bias over low records. Other country’s official records are accused of being similarly tampered with so what is there to believe? All I know is that we are having another cold year in Australia that will by December be another record hot year!

    A little known fact [tip] is that BOM puts out a climate driver update every 2 weeks with what used to be 8 sources.
    BOM, CanSIPS, ECMWF,JMA, METEO,NASA, NOAA,UKMO.
    which gave predictions for the next 4 months.
    You can still see the 8 in 5/1/2021, 19/1/2021 Climate Driver Updates but not for long because it will be archived and disappeared.

    NASA’s problem was that it predicted an ongoing prolonged La Nina which did not sit well with the BOM who at that time were predicting neutral going to neutral conditions.
    They used to say [8 models] Jan 2021.

    “La Niña is likely at its peak with all but one of the international climate models surveyed by the Bureau indicating a return to neutral conditions (neither El Niño nor La Niña) by the end of the southern autumn in 2021”

    So they wiped NASA out in following months.
    That’s right just wiped it out.

    From the 2/2/2021 the quote was for 7 models only and remains that way.
    Years of NASA comparison down the drain because it did not agree with the BOM line.
    Can anyone hold these hypocritical clowns accountable, Jo?

    “The 2020–21 La Niña has likely passed its peak, with all of the [7] international climate models surveyed by the Bureau anticipating NINO3.4 will return to borderline or neutral values by mid-autumn.”

    The funny thing is now in their latest update, BOM, now neutral, is the second most bullish for a La Nina return after NOAA of a return to La Nina.

    Still without including NASA.

    Would David be able to access those ecords/predictions?
