Yes, think on the source site, the Dark Center Propaganda aka Washington Post.
There are a couple of truths buried in this fear mongering piece:
"it is believed to be the result of “natural internal variability” in the climate system."
Translation- Climate Changes Naturally over time
and
“The mechanisms that really drive its evolution don’t seem to have a lot of predictability beyond about a year,” he says.
Translation- They can't predict anything past a year with any accuracy, and in my experience they don't do very well in less than a year either, except perhaps that winter will be colder than summer.

In spite of these observations by scientists, the fear-mongers at the DCP have to speculate endmessly in favor of their fraudulent global warming left-wing conspiracy tale.

AND About the author,
"Mooney was born in Mesa, Arizona, and grew up in New Orleans, Louisiana. Both of his parents were college English professors. He attended Isidore Newman School before entering Yale University, where he graduated with a B.A. in English in 1999"

He has written exclusively on science, although he has no science training. Consistently his writing has been critical to conservative groups and scientists, and in favor of liberal pseudo-science. We are supposed to listen to and believe a biased hack, preaching about science he doesn't understand.
Penn Gillette should do an episode on this merde mouth and others like him.

A more reasonable explanation can be found on Anthony Watt's site: http://wattsupwiththat.com/2015/04/09/wa...

Well when the toes hit the beach a few more degrees warmer on a cold winter's sunrise surf session could be a good thing. At least we'll get rid of the wimpy coral, and keep the strongest.

Aloha, see on the waves
