So, are you predicting that the 15 year pause in global warming is going to start up again effective now?

I don't know, but I suspect that the warmer than normal block of water is a side-effect of a very strong el nino. This very well may be a multi-year el nino.

Could be but it preceded the el niño.

Which is good and bad. The good is that some of the drought issues in the US are going to be addressed. For the Left Coast, mainly through healthy snow packs. For the PNW, this isn't ideal, but would be an improvement. The bad is that the Pacific won't be the preferred dumping ground for excess heat. Which means 1990s style warming trends.

What do you mean by that last part? I would prefer it didn't get any warmer than it already is.
