Interesting I'll need to watch it several times.

An awful lot of handwaving from Joe in this video, and I can't understand
why he's attributing the warming of the last three decades to the PDO when
it appears to me that the PDO index has been *declining* over this period,
not increasing (i.e. a cooling trend) -

There has been a negative PDO for around 5 (ish) years now. Many were
pointing to this change as a reason why the world would start to get
cooler. Many are very quiet on the subject now. Roy Spencer is a case
in point.

I just don't think *******i understands the supposed relationship.
(and it really is a tenuous one). That's why he's waving his hands
about.
