class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I will be speaking at the Heartland Climate Conference in April and presenting a case study on how sudden warming from geothermal input can ruin a forecast. The name of the talk is going to be \u201cA Weather\/Climate Tomahawk Fight with Geronimo,\u201d because that is exactly what this is, and there is no cavalry coming to solve the problem. Not only that, but frankly, no one in research on either side gives a darn about this, because they don\u2019t forecast and have to tolerate it. Many meteorologists simply accept the model output, so I am on an island. AGW people would not want to see it in the first place, because it blows the whole CO2 argument out of the water, and people on my side don\u2019t want to hear it because they sweep it away \u2014 as one person put it because it\u2019s like \u201cthe input of a Bunsen burner at the bottom of a swimming pool.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Well, there are estimated to be 10 million Bunsen Burners (the estimate of vents). Interesting, though, I certainly understand that if one is not involved in the application of what this does to the weather, one would be skeptical.&nbsp; I get it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I have found that everyone is married to their own idea to solve a problem that, to me, is a simple equation: the sun, the oceans, stochastic events, and the very design of the system far outweigh any input man can put in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, my goal is to get some people to say, \u201cHey, this is the oldest global private-sector forecaster out there, who has produced a value-added product for his company every day since March 1, 2011 \u2014 maybe we should look at what he is saying.\u201d So a dose of weather is coming at attendees, and then, the simple implication is that over the last 35 years, there have been countless hot spots showing up. Though they ebb and flow, overall, that input is what is raising the SST, and then, of course, the rest follows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But, back to the case study.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The European is going to be used here. By September, it has a borderline Super Nino developing.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"

The La Nina base state favors this most of the time, and it\u2019s why many La Nina winters are warm in the eastern part of the country. When the water is cold, it suppresses convection there, so in November, this looked great for the winter. And models were not shy about it. They showed plenty of blocking and a pattern similar to some of the great winters of the 1970s.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img

Blocking has always been with us. But the fact is, we are a 10-minute sound bite society, and so people will fall for it. And so the average person is open to accepting simplistic arguments to blame something driven by an agenda.&nbsp; As meteorologists, if we are going to push that, we should be ashamed of ourselves, FOR NOT SHOWING THE HISTORY OF THE PAST TO FRAME THE ENTIRE PICTURE. So how is it 2 of the greatest blocking winters ever occurred in a time when there was talk of another ice age coming?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">BTW the La Ni\u00f1a and El Ni\u00f1o, because of the oceanic warming, are not what they used to be as far as reactions.. The surrounding oceans have changed so much that their impact is distorted. The aforementioned winter and case study, 23-24, did not even have the Southern Oscillation Index averaging out to an El Ni\u00f1o in the winter. It was there in November, but the sudden warming of the water to the east of Australia was unlike anything ever seen in an El Ni\u00f1o, and it impacted the SOI. Yet no one seems to care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But let\u2019s look at this and understand why this is so important<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"496\" data-attachment-id=\"431834\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/climatescience.press\/?attachment_id=431834\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-109.png?fit=640%2C496&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"640,496\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"image\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-109.png?fit=640%2C496&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-109.png?resize=640%2C496&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-431834\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-109.png?w=640&amp;ssl=1 640w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/climatescience.press\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/image-109.png?resize=300%2C233&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The SST in November was very cold around Australia.

Well, it\u2019s a product of not having to actually forecast the weather. The sudden warming is Geronimo. The tomahawks are the input of warmth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The entire weather\/climate community has been duped into thinking that putting buoys that go down to 6,000 feet\u2014once for every 100,000 square miles\u2014is somehow enough data for the source of 99 percent of the heat available for the entire system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So the argument is, \u201cJoe, you have no proof.\u201d No, I don\u2019t\u2014until I see the water warm like this, because it\u2019s not the sun, it\u2019s not CO2 that could have done that so fast and against all indications.&nbsp; But if someone is not looking at this, they simply dismiss it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And what needs to be done\u2014for all the money we have spent on climate change and weather forecasting\u2014is to suck it up and saturate the bottom of the oceans where these things are going off, and actually go to the source region. But that would solve the problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As for those that dismiss it: well, you have no proof it\u2019s not, because the data is not there to disprove it. So if you are not looking and you are married to one idea or one agenda, then you dismiss it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">BTW, this is nothing new<\/p>\n\n\n<div
