New excuse for the ‘pause’ of global warming #58: Colder eastern Pacific and reduced heat loss in other oceans

New excuse for the “pause” of global warming #58: Colder eastern Pacific and reduced heat loss in other oceans http://hockeyschtick.blogspot.com/2014/11/new-excuse-for-pause-of-global-warming.html A paper published today in Geophysical Research Letters finds excuse #58 for the 18-26 year “pause” or hiatus” of global warming: Colder eastern Pacific (30% contribution) and reduced heat loss in other oceans (70% contribution). So […]
