Post a Comment. Search This Blog. Bob Tisdale is a little bit a strange fellow. El Nino is characterized by a strong ocean heat and sea surface temperature anomaly in the Central and Eastern equatorial Pacific ocean. La Nina is the counterpart, characterized by a negative heat and sea surface temperature anomaly. The equatorial Pacific produces El Ninos and La Ninas every few years, with global reach through the atmospheric circulation, leading to temperature and precipitation anomalies even in remote regions of the planet, mediated through so called teleconnections.
Sometimes warm or cold phases occurs in a row only interrupted by neutral conditions. It is a major mode of internal chaotic variability in the ocean-atmosphere system. Bob Tisdale understands as much. However, he does not seem to understand that El Nino-La Nina cannot generate by itself a global ocean warming trend , because the ocean does not heat itself.

A net influx of energy into the oceans is needed to cause a secular warming trend of the whole body of ocean water. The energy must come from somewhere. Bob Tisdale cannot explain where it comes from. The axiom here is, like for all the AGW-"skeptics", global ocean warming cannot, never ever, be caused by the radiation effect of increasing anthropogenic greenhouse gases.
All the arguments are built around this axiom. This figure added to the post after original posting shows the increase in the ocean heat content since , for which needs to be explained what the energy source for all the heating of the oceans is:.
