Optimum crop selections and rotation planning are not trivial to optimize under such changing climate conditions.

I don't mean to imply this is a purely linear process, but we have created a preexisting condition where every element of the climate system is already sensitive to change due to already having been altered before the tipping point that would have triggered it arrives.

Secondly, we don't have full information about the current conditions, and so, like for weather forecasts, if there are aspects of climate change that are chaotic, we can't predict those over the long term.

However, this comparison is not really representative, as these types of forecasts are an initial value problem, whereas climate change ought to be viewed as a boundary condition problem.

Bottom line, you can't estimate sensitivity from the mean conditions today — you need to look at a climate change.

What I am saying is that they used a regional climate model which did not include the changes in the Arctic region, and the boundary conditions they used were those predicted using GCMs that we know got the Arctic ice wrong!

While the long term stability is easy to demonstrate in climate models, it can't be unambiguously determined whether this is true in the real world since boundary conditions are always changing (albeit slowly most of the time).

[Response: I wasn't trying to suggest that tacit knowledge was some kind of opinion that all scientists must agree with, but rather it is the shared background that, say, everyone using climate models has — i.e. why we use initial condition ensembles, how we decide that a change in the code is significant, what data comparisons are appropriate etc..

Viz.: «Critics of the idea of man - made climate change argue that conditions 1,000 years ago were as warm as, if not warmer than, they are today.

One focus of these self - described climate skeptics, several said, is to reconcile their often divergent assertions about what is, and isn't, driving changes in temperature and other conditions around the planet.

In some conditions, saturation can occur while holding temperatures steady, but the climate response can still change the fluxes — this won't generally add a significant net flux where optical thickness has brought the net flux to zero, but it can change the net flux at TOA even if the effect of optical thickness has been saturated at TOA, and the climatic response could «unsaturate» the effect at TOA by creating a thinner layer of different temperature.

Thus for climate conditions that are not too far away from the situation now, multi-meter sea level rise is certainly an eventual possibility (the rates of change at the LIG having not been constrained).

It presents a significant reinterpretation of the region's recent climate change origins, showing that atmospheric conditions have changed substantially over the last century, that these changes are not likely related to historical anthropogenic and natural radiative forcing, and that dynamical mechanisms of interannual and multidecadal temperature variability can also apply to observed century - long trends.

Hence the entire North - Atlantic - Driven - Global - Climate - Change theory might be in need of revision; conditions in the North Atlantic may instead be responding actively to changes in the tropics, not the other way around.

Although the sensitivity of climate does change itself as the boundary conditions change, the past (PETM, glacial - interglacial cycles, etc) does not support sensitivities as low as 1 degree per doubling of CO2, and it doesn't support very high ones (like 10 degrees per doubling) either.

Rather, climate change is a consequence of changed physical conditions...» and further down states this: ``... climate is the same as weather statistics -LSB-...] This statistics, however, -LSB-...](is not) a force that influences the outcomes.»

a) they don't believe the premise of man - made climate change: they don't think scientific data collected to date is adequate to prove conclusively that any type of man - made event can result in either the recent fluxuations in climate or the anticipated kinds of drastic climate change, therefore CO2 control would be ineffective at solving the problem b) they don't believe CO2 alone is responsible: they think other variables are as or more likely to be the catalysts or causes for the scientific data collected to date on climate change therefore CO2 control would be ineffective at solving the problem c) they believe government efforts to curb CO2 emissions will fail resulting in an unprecedented waste of money and worse economic conditions.

As I've written before, while 20 years of intensifying inquiry has greatly reinforced confidence that humans are influencing climate in ways that could profoundly disrupt human and natural affairs, it has not substantially clarified climate outcomes that matter most: how fast and far temperatures and seas will rise in the next 100 years, how hurricanes will respond to warming, how regional conditions will change.

Although the simulation conditions in the MMD 20th - century simulations were not identical to those in the CMIP1 & 2 control runs, the differences do not alter the conclusions summarised below because the large - scale climatological features dominate, not the relatively small perturbations resulting from climate change.

Researchers at the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew in the United Kingdom report in the journal Nature Plants that a match of satellite data, computer simulations and research on the ground shows that — even under severe climate change — coffee growers could relocate to higher ground, while those who could not do that could diversify to take advantage of the changing conditions.
