New Jason Satellite Indicates 23-Year Global Cooling

For the past century at least, global temperatures have tended to mirror the 20-to 30-year warmings and coolings of the north-central Pacific Ocean. We don’t know just why, but the pattern of the last century is clear: the earth warmed from about 1915 to1940, while the PDO was also warming (1925 to 46). The earth cooled from 1940 to 1975, while the PDO was cooling (1946 to 1977). The strong global warming from 1976 to 1998 was accompanied by a strong and almost-constant warming of the north-central Pacific. Ancient tree rings in Baja California and Mexico show there have been 11 such PDO shifts since 1650, averaging 23 years on length.

The PDO seems to be driven by the huge Aleutian Low in the Arctic—but we don’t know what controls the Aleutian Low. Nonetheless, 22.5-year “double sunspot cycles” have been identified in South African rainfall, Indian monsoons, Australian droughts, and rains in the United States’ far southwest as well. These cycles argue that the sun, not CO2, controls the earth’s temperatures.

Exactly what i suspected, the environmentalists have cooked up some far fetched story about how many is contributing to climate change. next you know the environmentalists will complain about cold temps when it is nov - feb. and warm temps during jun - sep. Hmmm let's see, I think most people call that 'seasons', not global warming.

there are some things on earth that man will never fully understand, and the climate is one of them.

I've already seen a few articles where they're not denying this....but they relentlessly cling to the lie with comments like, "Don't let this 'masking of global warming' fool you."

Whatever. They'll be crying wolf in a foot of snow. I hope.
