This ...True, the rate of heat loss will be greater. This is the irony of the mythical Pause : a cool surface radiates less heat so more is retained (away from the surface). Of course the rate falls off with the temperature gradient (Newton's Law) so it can't 'overshoot' and trigger some kind of cooling.<br /><br />In the final analysis, be it La Nina or El Nino we're still accumulating heat all the time. Record global SST's without even an El Nino?

When (I am not sure if they do) these lead to increased top of the atmosphere temperatures more energy will be lost to space (at least compared to a La Niña where the effect should be reversed).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-44884191686170227532014-09-03T03:50:36.473+10:002014-09-03T03:50:36.473+10:00I saw something like this a couple of months ago w...I saw something like this a couple of months ago when the possibility of a strong El Nino was being discussed. The talking point was El Ninos "cool" the earth. I wonder if certain parties were getting ready just in case we did get a strong El Nino.<br /><br />I am pretty sure a El Nino does not cool the earth, it will warm surface temperatures by redistributing heat from the ocean to the atmosphere.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11552461190113661645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2313427464944392482.post-18628944751588543022014-09-02T13:59:27.453+10:002014-09-02T13:59:27.453+10:00The depth of ignorance I saw by looking at the arc...The depth of ignorance I saw by looking at the archived drivel was only surpassed by the comments underneath.
