El Nino and the end of the global warming hiatus

A new climate model developed by Yale scientists puts the "global warming hiatus" into a broader historical context and offers a new method for predicting global mean temperature.

Research by professor Alexey Fedorov and graduate student Shineng Hu indicates that weak El Niño activity from 1998 until 2013, rather than a pause in long-term global warming, was the root cause for slower rates of increased surface temperature. The research, published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters, also finds that volcanic activity played only a minor role.

Riiiiiggghhhttttt!

Another computer model that tries to buttress the man-made global warming theories. No explanation of the V&V done on the model with statistical correlation of model predicted temperatures before, during, and after the El Niño events. If their model can re-create the unaltered global temperature data using only the boundary inputs - solar energy input, cloud cover, snow/ice cover, and planetary core heat output to the surface, then I'll believe it.

Funny, the papers were screaming about the 'warmest March ever' a month or so back that was the surest and clearest sign of runaway global warming. I seen environuts yesterday on Facebook that were touting the blizzard in Oklahoma as caused by global warming.

But 15 years of cooling data? Excuses and reasons and apathy.
