By Ray Evans, published 8/2/2007

Climate change: the current guilt-ridden hysteria, which seems to have captured the chattering classes of the West, shows that the veneer of rationality is very thin indeed.

Sulphur dioxide is an inadequate explanation for decline in global temperature between 1946 and 1975 - it is moreover unnecessary. It is better explained by decadal variations in the El Nino Southern Oscillations. There are cool La Nina periods of decades followed by decades of warm El Nino periods. These periods are characterised by an increase in the frequency and intensity of La Nina and El Nino respectively. The teleconnections between ENSO and global surface temperatures are extensively documented.

Decadal ENSO variability also explains why global surface temperatures have declined since 1998 and may continue to do so over to about the mid 2020's.
