If current trends continue, we can expect another catastrophic -0.1 warming by the year 2040. Of course, a large volcanic eruption could make it much cooler. Hansen has lucked out so far with volcanoes, but sooner or later a big one is going to blow him deep into retirement and scientific oblivion..
The theory goes that volcanoes cause an immediate cooling, followed by a warming caused by the extra CO2.
The last major eruption was Pinatubo, so in theory there was a cooling in the 90′s, followed by a warming. So why has the reverse happened?

The tanker is not even near the arctic circle!
NSDIC is totally untrustworthy useless bs fantasy.
Stupid Russians trusted their ice maps.
Looks like the Coast Guard vessel is bigger than the “Tanker” . And you would think the Nome-ians woulda thought about this problem before winter set in. Can’t be cheap paying for this kinda delivery. Nobody ever heard of “storage”?
Oh yeah, back on topic! Jimmy will just use volcanoes as cover for his schtick. It will be better if we have no Tambora yet experience a severe cooling for a decade or so… No excuses, nothing to point to, just humiliation. I can hope.
Yet again Goddard misleads his readers.
That is a very very special type of climatology graph.
You see, those little blue diamonds actually have numbers on them which Goddard has conveniently rubbed off. The idea of this very very special climatology graph (developed by Jones and Hansen) is that the trend line is drawn by joining the dots in number sequence.
Had Goddard done that, we would see the true trend which is +0.9DegC per month.
Those who wish to learn about this new wave of graphing thingy should get a hold of the recently released book “Here a Trend, There a Trend, Everywhere a Trend Trend” Jones & Hansen published by Wiggles Publishing.
