The sort of denial baloney in the post that I reply to beggars belief.
Here's the chart jopo posted. It's the AMO ocean oscillation index versus satellite global lower troposphere temps. Conveniently for this bit of false thinking, satellite data only goes back to 1979. Amazing isn't it! The AMO seems to be highly correlated with the satellite temperature. Let's see what they have in common! Says jopo.
Well think again ...
Here's what happens when you look at the full, more than a century record of the surface temperature (in red). I've plotted one of the satellite temps (in green), for the period that exists, and satellite temps correspond pretty well with surface temps. As you would expect.
It is patently obvious from these two charts that AMO (in green, on the first chart) and temperatures (in red, on the second chart) go in totally different directions over the full period of the surface temperature record.
AMO is not "in common" with temperature, as jopo suggests. Nothing like it.
Don't get sucked in by the denial spin.
