BTW, the La Nina is Over, But....

I didn't realize this until the other day, but the 2020-2021 La Nina is now finished, and has been for a couple of months now.

In the past we might have heard the usual crap about "global warming is over," but I can't see anyone falling for that now. The public discussion really has changed. But 2021 won't be a record warm year.

    Cheers

  2. This is good news DiC. When do you think the Republican party will catch up?

  3. The clowns at WUWT still believe this year marks the beginning of a new ice age. They think the cold spell and the relatively cold q1 is a definite sign of it.
