Major February global temperature drop reveals the real climate control knob
By Joe Bastardi |March 7th, 2021

By now all of you know my belief ( bias) that it’s the oceans, and more so the tropical oceans, that are the biggest control knob of the weather and climate. If you really wanted to make this a controlled classroom experiment (nature is not a classroom with easy controls)  then I venture to say that the real way to know man’s influence is to have SST’s return to where they were in the 1970s, give it a couple of years for the water vapor adjustment, ( and if I am right. co2 will adjust as warmer oceans outsource it, so the outsourcing to the air will decrease) and see the difference there. And there you may be able to make an irrefutable argument for man’s contribution, Unfortunately for those who will not look at anything else,  that is likely to be quite small, but on the other hand, unlike the warming we have had which is really in the coldest driest places and more so at their coldest driest time of the year, you would likely find the lions share of what warming would be where life thrives.. As small as that has been, less than .25C of the numbers we see all the time that tell us that at. a bit over 59 degrees the planet is overheating, it is liable to be even less detectable and certainly as or more adaptable than what we seemed to have adapted to nicely here.

But the fear of course is runaway warming which is interesting since it counters Le Chateliers,  which I never hear anyone bring up, most likely because it’s a simple explanation. And a simple explanation would impact a lot of things relying on a done deal, complex explanation that the public must accept because they could never understand.

No, the oceans aren't the source of temperature changes.   That requires energy input, i.e. the sun.

The oceans are an energy storage and transport mechanism, one that does respond to changes in solar input.   The sun is cooling now, so the oceans will be getting less heat and eventually the cooler water will drive the climate, as it always does.

And when the growing seasons get shorter, the level of natural CO2 in the air drops, and we're going to be damn happy that we've added reserves of CO2 stored since the Carboniferous Age to keep the blankets on.
