Hansen used (2008) used la Nina and Solar minimum as his excuse for global cooling.
Now there is no la Nina, no volcanoes, and the Sun is at solar max. What is the latest excuse from the Climoalchemists?
Excuses are the tools of the incompetent, used to build bridges to nowhere and monuments of nothingness.”

Another way of putting this is :
It is all Bush’s fault
Blame Pinatubo’s transiently-sequestered volcanic aerosols, recently liberated into the stratosphere by the missing heat.
My preferred excuse is anthropogenic changes in the jet stream by large wind farms in northern Europe.
I’m sure if you ran either through a model, you would get a positive correlation.
Apparently, the greenhouse has turned into window tint and is keeping heat out.
But but but… this solar cycle is the weakest for over a hundred years.
Maybe hansen hasn’t borrowed Trenbreth’s excuse of the oceans have swallowed the heat because he doesn’t believe it will hold water.
…or, rather, that water will hold it…
