You’re still doing it - and I’m beginning to think you don’t even realise. Quoting my first post in this thread:
”Simplistic and trite. In reality, every event has multiple contributing factors - one of which is most certainly the steadily increasing average temperature of the globe. That’s what sets the baseline that oscillations like the IOD wiggle around.”
CO2 didn’t cause the cold SSTs in the East Indian Ocean. That’s a natural oscillation like ENSO that has undoubtedly been going on for millennia. What it does is to increase the background around which these oscillations occur. And it doesn’t have to decrease the amount of water vapour to make things drier. As air gets hotter things get drier even if the amount of water vapour stays exactly the same. That’s 101-level stuff.
