SkS Highlights
Rob Painting's Sea Level Rise is Spiking Sharply drew the highest number of comments of the articles posted on SkS during the past week. Attracting the second highest number of comments was Dana's Global warming and drought are turning the Golden State brown.

Quote of the Week
"The recovery does not happen on a century scale; it's a commitment to a millennial-scale recovery," said Sarah Moffitt, a marine ecologist at UC Davis' Bodega Marine Laboratory and lead author of the study. "If we see dramatic oxygen loss in the deep sea in my lifetime, we will not see a recovery of that for many hundreds of years, if not thousands or more."
Oceans might take 1,000 years to recover from climate change by Geoffrey Mohan, Los Angeles Times, Apr 1. 2015

97 Hours of Consensus: Warren Washington
You certainly have heard about new paper about AMOC slowdown by Stefan Rahmstorf et al. No free full text but plenty of comments on RealClimate.org and in popular press (e.g. linked to from Mike Mann's facebook).
But did you hear about Steve McIntyre's Blunter on the subject? Worth reading, just to haver a good laugh. While trying to critique said paper, Steve confused δ15N, a proxy for water mass movement, with a proxy for temperature. Subsequently, Steve's entire critique turned invalid nonsense.
