Yeah, non–El Nino year 2017 is barely cooler than El Nino year 2016.
Yeah. JM expected the oceans to cool faster.

In July, 2017 equalled the monthly temperature with 2016.
I think the coming SH summer is going to be a real doozy. I suggest all OzPol members consider how they, their young children/grandchildren (if applicable) will fare or how they or their aged parents will fare.
Ah, The Global Average temperature. Interesting fact -
"Since there
is no universally accepted definition for Earth’s average temperature, several different groups around the world use slightly different methods for tracking the global average over time"
https://www2.ucar.edu/climate/faq/what-average-global-temperature-nowSo there is no standard measurement. Any anomalies of a non-standard must be suspect. As there is no standard measurement it is rather pointless to show different global average temperatures on one graph as a comparison.
And we can get an actual number from a non standard measurement.
And that is supposed to be scientific.
