Can't wait for that global cooling to kick in. Our summers are becoming downright abnormal.

If you have any doubts, look at the CERES, HC, AIRS, or NOAA TOA radiation data. Note the 3.1W/m^2 OLWR surplus over the past 12 months, a tripling since 2009..

 

Pretty easy to see where we're heading. The tropospheric thermals should respond as we leave the current solar maximum. If anything, given the systematic heat release we've been experiencing since January/February, we should be warmer right now.

 

In fact, this is the strongest global scale release event (as interpolated at the top-of-atmosphere) since 1997-98...with warmer SSTs over the NH this go around..and this is all we can muster? :lol:

 

Back in March when this whole process was starting up, I was concerned it'd lead to a global torch from May to August and that you'd be all over my case. Not really worried anymore..

Yep. And their driest year on record in 2013.

Been an interesting couple years. Especially for the southern half of Oregon. Negative teens and an all-time coldest December in some spots last winter bookended by two bizarrely California-like summers.
