"The (UAH) globally averaged temperature departure for December was
+0.28 C. As we all know, we are in the midst of a moderate El Nino,
which usually contributes to an overall increase in global
temperatures. So why did the temperature anomaly drop from a +0.50 in
November to the +0.28 in December as the El Nino Southern Oscillation
(ENSO) index slightly increased (meaning toward a stronger El Nino)? I
think a lot had to do with the extreme negative Arctic Oscillation (-
AO), which I blogged about yesterday."

I fully agree with Brett that AO is the culprit.

Paradigm-breaking leap in logic -

I say the meteorolgical signal is currently being
sent that we are starting at least 20 years of
global cooling.

Please comment fully.
