One alarmist has been busy posting away claiming that winter winds in the Arctic (which push multi-year ice out from the Pacific side towards the Atlantic side) couldn’t possibly have anything to do with ENSO.
Typical brilliant, open-minded thinking. No wonder climate science is at such an advanced state of utter uselessness.
Those that were drooling that James Hansen’s predictions of a scorching El Nino will be disapointed that the little boy be weak.

I’ve been pointing that out for more than three months, but the experts at the gubermint are finally catching up to the “breathtakingly ignorant” TM Serreze http://stevengoddard.wordpress.com/2012/06/17/why-a-super-el-nino-is-very-unlikely/
Dana at SkS is predicting that 2013 will be the hottest year ever. If the little boy is weak it will be up to the keepers of the temperature data to make Dana’s wish come true.

Hansen has been predicting that every year since 1988, like a stopped clock.
It will be interesting to watch how quickly SkS will “erase” Dana’s prediction when it looks to be nonsense. Hansen has not been anywhere near as accurate as a stopped watch (accurate twice a day) to my knowledge and is overdue for chaining himself to a tree or coal plant fence for attention.
The good news is that a weak El Nino means no civil wars (Walsh always makes me laugh at him). 🙂

You’d better take a snapshot of that because as has proven SkS is well known for “modifying” posts after the fact.
Don’t tell Dana when solar maximum will be, hmm 2013 you say? Unfortunately a weak cycle even at maximum wont save him!
Well, Steve, you know to expect that by now. Anything contrary to alarmist neurosis will be attacked by the alarmist neurotics.
Weak El Nino favors lots of snow for mid-latitude places in the US. If that occurs, alarmists will blame on it on AGW, just like they blamed the past winter’s lack of snow on AGW. It is wonderful when you have all bases as well as your ass covered.
I was hoping for an above average El Nino, because I needed the dry weather. Damn.
With any luck, it’ll mean a mild summer here in Adelaide. Bliss.
Sounds like you have been taking uknowispeakoutofmybutt’s comments way to seriously.
C’mon guys and gals, if you chase iknowwheremyassiscauseicanfinditwithmyhands away from this site, like you did David Apple Pie, what are we gonna do for our morning funnies?
