what we call 'variability'

[catbbq]

What a great article. My favorite is the quote: "La Nina is part of what we call 'variability'."

variability

in this context is sounds like CYA (cover your a$$), or at least try...

This one is my favorite:

Mr Scaife told the BBC: "What's happened now is that La Nina has come along and depressed temperatures slightly but these changes are very small compared to the long-term climate change signal, and in a few years time we are confident that the current record temperature of 1998 will be beaten when the La Nina has ended."

It's almost as if he is hoping the record is beaten, as if to prove their contention. I'm telling you, these alarmists will not be happy until there are lots of catastrophes. Those silly hurricanes haven't been cooperating. Hey, may the annual mean temperature will.

Let's go Nino. clap clap clap-clap-clap
