and the never-ending insistence of some solar enthusiasts that a dramatic cooling is right around the corner, these are not serious issues. The size of this cooling varies in the records, most of all in the satellite-derived AIRS v7 data, where the cooling is quite pronounced, and not at all in the ERA5 reanalysis.

1 Average number of named storms by day of the year in the historical record from 1851–2019 (dark blue line). If this variability is not oscillatory, then it is not predictable, and expectations that the “AMO should transition back to a cool phase soon” (e.g., 2016 ), could increase again in concentration.

This work was first instigated as part of the pre-development of the Smithsonian’s Deep Time exhibit (which opened in 2019). It is not as though people have not tried – we discussed this here in 2014, where we made a plea for better graphs of the global temperature. Now, 10 years later, we finally have something.

Cool and clear water is important because hellbenders breathe through their skin, which contains numerous folds to increase oxygen absorption. They can live up to 30 years and spend their entire lives in water, living in perennial streams and rivers of the eastern and central United States.
