State College, PA - Hurricanes, Global Warming or Cooling: The Weather Year of a Lifetime

[Joe Bastardi]...in the circle of competitive forecasters I am in, the vast majority of the long-range private sector meteorologists can see what is coming down the road and agree with me. Many of these people have masters and Ph.D.s, but they are involved in work that requires them to prove enough merit, that they are restrained. It's very competitive.

We all understand the same thing: The Pacific is cooling. The Atlantic will start doing so in 10-15 years. Then the global temperature come down and we have the satellites to measure it without data readjustment.

So it comes down to a forecast, and my attitude with my detractors is this: Let's see who is right the next 20-30 years. Global temperatures go up and down, and have been generally going up, while the oceans have been warm, but will dive over the next 18 months. Even the almighty climate models see it, as you see temperatures, relative to normal, cooling dramatically around the globe over the next nine months! (See the attached charts for more information.)

...for the ministers of propaganda on this matter that don't understand how this works, you will see NEXT SUMMER has the highest amount of sea ice since the early part of last decade. Sad to say the ice will rebuild... two steps forward one step back.

But I have observed the cackling of delight at the demise of the ice cap this summer with amusement. Because 1) The THICKNESS OF THE ICE is greater and 2) The Polar temps, courtesy of the cooling that is starting are lower than normal this summer.
