Leading climate scientists agree: Warming hiatus was real and we're doubly screwed
By JAKE ELLISON, SEATTLEPI.COM STAFF Updated 9:10 pm, Wednesday, March 23, 2016
Basically, unless the volcanoes blow again, as they did in the early 1990s, we're in for a warming rebound that will shock even the alarmists.
So, yeah, the global mean surface temperature appears to have leveled off during a time of vigorous pumping of carbon into the atmosphere, according to some of the world's top climate scientists. And that's not going to mean shit in a decade or two.
So, instead of a feather in the climate-change-denialists' cap, that sentence or something like it will be one more piece of evidence against us ... those of us who let it happen when we had a shot at stopping the madness. It'll be one more factoid in the litany of doom we communicate to young people as we shrug. And if it wasn't true ... if the world as we know it wasn't already dead carrion floating upon the stagnant ocean water ... it'd be a crime.
But, according to all the people dedicated to climate science: We' re really, really in for it.
And that hiatus — used to obfuscate the truth of anthropogenic global warming among those determined to do so — is only the technical byproduct of scientists trying to get the details right. If they can, if they understand the data better, the picture their computational models paint of the future will be closer to what happens.
"If you look more carefully at the physics that are going on in the ocean and the atmosphere and so on, then it's clear there has been a slowdown," said John Fyfe, a senior research scientist at the Canadian Centre for Climate Modeling and Analysis. Fyfe is also lead author on the controversial report "Making sense of the early-2000s warming slowdown" published under peer review in the journal Nature Climate Change. He has also been a lead scientist on reports from the world's main climate board, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
So does that means our carbon emissions are not tied to global warming, since we pumped as much as we could into the atmosphere during the 2000 to roughly 2014 warming slowdown? 'Cuz, more carbon didn't immediately mean more warming?
"No. We're not saying that at all," he told us. "What we haven't said is that human-caused warming, which is due to increase in greenhouse gases, has slowed down at all. It's carrying on, but superimposed upon that background of ongoing warming are fluctuations and sometimes these fluctuations can be quite long, from 10 to 20 years long. And, we've been in a cooling fluctuation now since about 2000."
In short, some climate scientists have been involved in a technical squabble over what range of dates to use when determining the warming trend, and that's important to them because it forces them to fine-tune their understanding of all the data from previous decades. That data is used to spin up models of what future warming could look like. The better they understand the data, the better future models get.
"We make the point in our commentary that we have reviewed and summarized and we have a pretty good understanding why that (hiatus) has happened. And it was primarily due to the combination of internal variability in the ocean, in the Pacific Ocean. It went through a cooling phase. It was sort of a natural internal fluctuation that's been quite persistent.
"There's that and there's also a sequence of small volcano eruptions that started around 2000. They've been putting sulphur particles into the stratosphere that has been reflecting solar radiation away. So the combination of volcanoes and internal variability, we believe, explain the slowdown."
Great! So, we're all going to be okay!? Ha.
"There's evidence now that that cooling is reversing and the El Nino we've seen this year, we believe, is part of that. We're expecting that this long-term cooling that we've seen is about to reverse or has reversed, and now we'll potentially have rapid warming on top of the warming that's due to the increase in greenhouse gases."
Crap. I don't know about you, but I'm tired of telling my kids, young adults now, that their world is heading for cataclysmic disaster. So, we can lie. Or, really folks, we can just decide to absorb the pain now and switch our economy away from burning fossil fuels.
(BTW this rebound is exactly what would happen if we tried to geoengineer a cooling solution to warming without reducing carbon: When the machines pumping the sulfur or whatever into the atmosphere to reflect the sun's radiation back into space stopped, sputtered or stalled ... the rebounding warming would be too fast for humans societies to adjust to, a University of Washington study found.)

[Ringing] - Hello. Listen Lady.
- Uh, I'm in some hot soup here, Marge. Some teenagers are hanging out in front of the store. I-I think they could start slacking at any moment.
Well, Ned, you don't have to stand for that. You just march right up to those youngsters and tell them to vamoose.
Yeah, well, if you're sure that'll help.
Hey, let's go over to the one-hour photo and breathe some fumes.
Uh, excuse me, fellas. I-I-I couldn't help thinking it might be nice if you could, uh, vamoose, you know- [Chuckles] if possible.
[Ringing] - Hello. Listen Lady.
- Uh, Marge, I appreciate your advice but things have gotten- well, th-they're, uh, a lot worse.
[Yelling, Laughing]
Now, Ned, troubled boys need rules and discipline. They crave it! You just lay down the law!
