Global Warming AND el Niño

Some people, especially climate deniers like David Rose, seem to have a hard time grasping the fact that more than one thing can affect global temperature at the same time. Some things, like man-made global warming, bring about a trend that keeps on giving. Others, like el Niño, cause temporary fluctuations that just don’t last.

How Much from el Niño?

Global temperature data, like most data, is a combination of trend and fluctuation. The trend is climate change, the fluctuations are noise.
