The minds of the scientifically retarded and morally challenged will see what they want to see.  And their Mimes will go for the gold.

Enjoy it while it last. Sig, maybe time to stock up on socks?

El Niño is dead. Here’s what to expect in the coming months

This will dampen any cyclone activity:

realistically the season has a bit to run but for a super season it has been slow.

Dust and shear are the enemy of the catastrophists.

So why is the SOI not playing by the rules. In fact running a completely different direction.

Has anyone noticed that Australia has been mercifully wet the last few years Ratty may wish to fill in, but permadrought it is not.

this gives me hope but not for rational reasons purely from the point of view that "they" are so wrong.

Lake Eyre is Currently Filling.

LAKE EYRE (Kati Thanda) is one of the world's largest salt lakes and Australia's largest inland lake, comprised of 400 million tonnes of salt. It is the lowest point of Australia (15m below sea level). Lake Eyre has only filled with water four times over the last hundred years!

The problem with government-run models is they are often consistent with the source.  They work as little as possible.

I think there have been more than 4 filling events in the last number of years, to be reasonable with the water tables fully restored or filled it goes faster if closely spaced but there is a change.

The definition of "filled" causes confusion. The latest full fill was 1974.

Typically a 1.5 m (5 ft) flood occurs every three years, a 4 m (13 ft) flood every decade, and a fill or near fill a few times a century. The water in the lake soon evaporates, with a minor or medium flood drying by the end of the following summer.

Here in Lincolnshire our summer lasted 1 day 25th 70f and today cloud and mist 61f. (I still use f).

We were hot (90+ F) and dry for a couple of weeks.  Now we are in the 80s F and wet again.  Pretty standard  summer weather for Middle Earth

Above is graph of Greenland Surface Mass Balance.

Curiously, if you look at coastal temperatures all around Greenland, they are all below freezing.

I do not see how you can have a substantial negative mass balance if everywhere is below freezing.

I am obviously missing something, or the data is telling porkies.

The heat is hiding in the deep ice?
Hot air is circulating out of NY State?
It's the Russians?
Don't forget Trump ...

Doug, I have been watching Greenland too and have the same temperature observation.

I had a lawn application pesticide salesman show up at my door yesterday ... promising to kill every bug in my whole landscape that might somehow bother me with his company's product.  Told him I did not want to nuke all my bugs.  My birds would leave or starve ... or drop dead from pesticide residue.  These multi-everything types of sprays are, in my opinion, very bad for the local ecosystem.  My bugs mostly do not bite me (much) and all the flying pollinators are hard at work.  This year's diversity of butterflies and moths is amazing.  I have never seen such variety.  I asked the salesman (a young oriental guy) Why would I want to chemically nuke their habitat?  He had no answer but to smile and head off toward the next house.

I am generally a free trader ... but the heavy nuke everything chemical approach is devastating ... and should be stopped.
