Since 1850, CO2 levels rose, as did the «globally and annually averaged land and sea surface temperature anomaly» (for what it's worth), but nobody knows whether or not the increase in CO2 had anything whatsoever to do with the warming.

All we know for sure is that it hasn't warmed (according to the «globally and annually averaged land and sea surface temperature anomaly» record of HadCRUT) since the end of 1997.

The NINO3.4 index is defined as the average of sea surface temperature (SST) anomalies over the region 5 ° N - 5 ° S and 170 ° -120 ° W. El Niño (a warm event) is considered to occur when the NINO3.4 index persistently exceeds +0.8 °C.

-- denying that the tropospheric land and sea temperature anomaly (UAH) has warmed more slowly than that at the surface (HadCRUT3)(although it should warm more rapidly according to the GH theory) and even stating exactly the opposite

However, during La Niña Modoki the anomaly of the sea surface temperature (SST) in the eastern Pacific isn't affected by cooling but by warming just like western equatorial Pacific, while a cold anomaly affects the central equatorial Pacific (Niño 3.4).

You are spending a lot of time rationalizing WHY there was a «standstill» in global warming (as measured by the «globally and annually averaged land and sea surface temperature anomaly»).

An El Nino analysis released by the national weather service last week says sea surface and sub-surface temperature anomalies were consistent with El Niño during December, but the overall atmospheric circulation continued to show only limited coupling with the warm water.

The metric used by IPCC in all its reports for past and projected future «global warming» has been the «globally and annually averaged land and sea surface temperature anomaly» (as reported by HadCRUT3).

Regardless of whether or not the oceans integrate ENSO and portray it in sea surface temperature anomalies, the West Pacific and East Indian Oceans warm in response to both El Nino and La Nina events, so there is a cumulative response to ENSO by a major portion of the global oceans.

''... worked with two sediment cores they extracted from the seabed of the eastern Norwegian Sea, developing a 1000 - year proxy temperature record «based on measurements of δ18O in Neogloboquadrina pachyderma, a planktonic foraminifer that calcifies at relatively shallow depths within the Atlantic waters of the eastern Norwegian Sea during late summer,» which they compared with the temporal histories of various proxies of concomitant solar activity... This work revealed, as the seven scientists describe it, that «the lowest isotope values (highest temperatures) of the last millennium are seen ~ 1100 - 1300 A.D., during the Medieval Climate Anomaly, and again after ~ 1950 A.D.» In between these two warm intervals, of course, were the colder temperatures of the Little Ice Age, when oscillatory thermal minima occurred at the times of the Dalton, Maunder, Sporer and Wolf solar minima, such that the δ18O proxy record of near - surface water temperature was found to be «robustly and near - synchronously correlated with various proxies of solar variability spanning the last millennium,» with decade - to century - scale temperature variability of 1 to 2 °C magnitude.»

Sea surface temperature anomalies that persist over many years can be signals of regional or global climate change, such as global warming.

The period of increased warming from 1987 to 1997 loosely coincided with the divergence of the global average temperature anomalies over land, which are derived from observation station recordings, and the global average anomalies in sea surface temperatures.

Over ocean stretches with a positive SST anomaly air convection is higher (as the temperature difference between the warm sea surface and the cool air higher up in the troposphere is greater), so a higher likelihood for the formation of depressions exists and more precipitation is to be expected.

The best way to envision the relation between ENSO and precipitation over East Africa is to regard the Indian Ocean as a mirror of the Pacific Ocean sea surface temperature anomalies [much like the Western Hemisphere Warm Pool creates such a SST mirror with the Atlantic Ocean too]: during a La Niña episode, waters in the eastern Pacific are relatively cool as strong trade winds blow the tropically Sun - warmed waters far towards the west.

However you slice it, lolwot, there is a current «pause» (or «standstill») in the warming of the «globally and annually averaged land and sea surface temperature anomaly» (used by IPCC to measure «global warming»), despite unabated human GHG emissions and CO2 levels (Mauna Loa) reaching record levels.

If you are referring to the «globally and annually averaged land and sea surface temperature anomaly», then this indicator has shown «cooling» since the end of 2000 (12 years) and lack of warming since the end of 1997 (15 years).

Greenhouse gases continued to rise unabated, BUT instead of a warming there was a net cooling of the globally averaged land and sea surface temperature anomaly (HadCRUT3).

Here we quantitatively relate the impacts of warm (and cold) sea surface temperature anomalies in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean to the number of hurricanes making landfall in the United States.

Further to my previous comments, it should be noted that the warm anomalies («anomaly» means the difference from the norm, whether yearly, seasonal, monthly, etc.) mentioned are sea surface temperatures.
