Climate change is currently being caused by La Nina which is a very large pool of "cool" ocean water that forms in the equatorial Pacific Ocean, even as the earth warms.
From Wikipedia;
La Niña (/lə ˈnin.jə/; Spanish: [la ˈniɲa]) is an oceanic and atmospheric phenomenon that is the colder counterpart of El Niño, as part of the broader El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) climate pattern. The name La Niña originates from Spanish for "the girl", by analogy to El Niño, meaning "the boy". In the past, it was also called an anti-El Niño[1] and El Viejo, meaning "the old man."[2]
During a La Niña period, the sea surface temperature across the eastern equatorial part of the central Pacific Ocean will be lower than normal by 3–5 °C (5.4–9 °F). An appearance of La Niña often persists for longer than five months. El Niño and La Niña can be indicators of weather changes across the globe. Atlantic and Pacific hurricanes can have different characteristics due to lower or higher wind shear and cooler or warmer sea surface temperatures.
The climate cult needs to do some research and not just trust a consensus of casino science. Consensus is about opinion and not settled science. Consensus is more about politics than science. The lack of hurricanes in the Atlantic ocean, this year, was due to La Niña and not coal. La Niña hag a huge global impact that befuddled the doom and gloom predictors. The cult needs to ask questions like how can a large pool of cool ocean water, sufficient to impact global weather, form as the earth is warming?
One theory is this cool water comes from deep in the ocean. Colder deep ocean water pushes up to the surface, due to geological disturbances deep down. If these geological disturbances are due to heat from the mantle, we can get surface cooling; upwelling of cold water, and longer term ocean heating at the same time, all without human intervention. Heating the ocean from below will also cause CO2 concentration to increase in the atmosphere, since CO2 is less soluble in warmer ocean water. This part of the natural earth balance connected to the movement of the crust.
The climate models are cute, but they do not due justice to the impact of water, on global climate. Water exists in three phases on the earth's surface, all at the same time; ; solid, liquid and gas or snow/ice, water, and water vapor/clouds. Greenhouse gases only exist as gases. They are a one trick pony. Water has many more tricks that all occur together; three phases or three trick pony.
In the case of La Nina, tweaks in the liquid phase of water; oceans, can impact global climate and weather. The polar caps are the solid phase of water and this phase will reflect the sun. While the clouds that cause rain and snow are part of the gas phase of water. These are all connected, with water in any of its three phases, having much more thermal mass, than all the traces gases that make up the manmade claims.
This surface analysis for water, does not even take into account the more exotic phases of water that exist at the extreme conditions of pressure and temperature found inside the earth; below the crust. For example, an equilibrium between super critical water; hydrothermal, and super ionic water; at the phase boundary of the mantle/crust interface, assists the movement of the crust on top of the mantle. Both phases will solubilize crust materials, with the super ionic phase much more aggressive. During subduction of crustal material the super ionic phase dissolves extra crustal material into the mantle, while a phase shift to back to super critical, makes new crust for things like La Niña upwellings; super critical to liquid phase transitions.
Theoretically, based on experiments of these and other exotic and extreme phases of water, water, in various phases, should be present all the way to the earth's core, with metallic water forming at core conditions. Is anyone aware the core of the earth rotates faster than the surface crust? This means another water phase boundary; ionic to metallic water.
The iron in the earth's core is electron rich. Iron can be oxidized to Fe+2 and Fe+3. The metallic iron sets an electro-chemical potential with the atmospheric oxygen, which is connected by the continuity of water phases from the atmosphere to the core. Water of many phases, using only oxygen and hydrogen in unique arrangements, are rusting the iron core and extracting electrons, energy and heat. The oceans are slightly negative in charge due to the electron flow, while the atmosphere is slightly positive due to water vapor and the high electronegativity of oxygen.
Plants via photosynthesis make atmospheric oxygen. This has increased the potential to the core's iron electrons, over the past billion years, with CO2 the plant food needed to expand on this. In essence, the sun is driving our earth dynamics via the continuity of water; rain to plants to core.
