high variability in climate and in hunting pressure,» said first author Yasuko Ishida, a research scientist in animal sciences at Illinois.
RE the main points made in the post, I think I have also used the same logic to

variability is greater than thought, then our A-GHGs should also have a
higher sensitivity.
Billet et al.
suggested that such
high variability is the result of diminished selection pressure in slower - moving mammals to maintain orthogonal semicircular canals.
OECD analysis finds that about 15 percent of
variability in the performance of American students is explained by socio - economic factors; the OECD average is 10 percent.13 Research
suggests that if the PISA results of U.S. students are adjusted such that the distribution of low - income students is more similar to other countries with comparable post-industrial economies, both math and reading results would look significantly
higher.14 This does not mean the United States should not be concerned about international comparisons of educational achievement, but it
suggests that the conclusions drawn from rankings based on national averages are limited and that reality is more nuanced.
Such close linkages between CO2 concentration and climate
variability are consistent with modelling results
suggesting with
high confidence that glacial — interglacial variations of CO2 and other greenhouse gases [CH4, N2O] explain a considerable fraction of glacial — interglacial climate
variability in regions not directly affected by the northern hemisphere continental ice sheets (Timmermann et al., 2009; Shakun et al., 2012).
AR5 section 9.5.3 concludes «Nevertheless, the lines of evidence above
suggest with
high confidence that models reproduce global and NH temperature
variability on a wide range of time scales.»
-- I calculated potential intensity trends over the period 1980 - 2012 & The disparity between the reanalysis potential intensity trends over the past 30 years and the projected trends over this century
suggests either that most of the observed increase in potential intensity (and actual intensity of
high category storms) is due to natural
variability,....»

variability is greater than thought, then our A-GHGs should also have a
higher sensitivity.
«Trend estimates from the SOS [Start of Spring] methods as well as measured and modeled plant phenologystrongly
suggest either no or very geographically limited trends towards earlier spring arrival, although we caution that, for an event such as SOS with
high interannual
variability, a 25 - year SOS record is short for detecting robust trends.»
A new study
suggests that species that have evolved in regions with relatively
high natural climate
variability may at the same time be more resilient... Continue reading →
Steve: Willis, I've posted late in 2007 about Kiehl's report that GCMs with
high climate sensitivity adopted aerosol histories with relative low
variability and conversely; thus there is more coherence in the GCM ensembles than in the underlying data —
suggesting a certain shall - we - say opportunism in the aerosol history selection.
Extending the sea level record back over the entire century
suggests that the
high variability in the rates of sea level change observed over the past 20 years were not particularly unusual.
Shifts at decadal scales in the form of rivers — between low energy meandering and
high energy braided forms — that
suggested decadal
variability of rainfall.
«An examination of the fossil record indicates that the key junctures in hominin evolution reported nowadays at 2.6, 1.8 and 1 Ma coincide with 400 kyr eccentricity maxima, which
suggests that periods with enhanced speciation and extinction events coincided with periods of maximum climate
variability on
high moisture levels.»
This
suggests that the uncertainties in measurements from these regions are larger than in other regions, and this will be exacerbated by the
high variability.
If comments above are meant to
suggest that the CET is irrelevant as a long term proxy for the changes in either the N. Hemisphere's or global temperatures
variability, than it can be stated that the comments are wrong and misleading, since there is a
high degree of correlation between the three relevant data sets.
Given that, «Climate simulations
suggest that multi-decadal periods of
high and low
variability in the phenomenon known as the El Niño - Southern Oscillation in the tropical Pacific Ocean may be entirely unpredictable» DiNezio, 1014, we can not have confidence in any of our current ENSO forecasts
However, this
high degree of internal
variability (
suggesting a positive and large feedback ratio, or «climate sensitivity» value) doesn't negate external forcing by any stretch, as Swanson and Tsonis pointed out in their conclusion:
Previous theoretical and model - based studies of the relationship between ocean bottom pressure (pb) and sea level (ζ)
suggest primarily barotropic
variability at mid to
high latitudes for scales greater than a few hundred kilometers and periods less than a few months.
The lack of a forced SST - associated oscillatory signal in models
suggests global temperature anomalies inferred from
higher order observed RASST discriminants should signify internal
variability.
On text noting
high decadal
variability in Arctic temperatures, Canada, supported by Norway,
suggested removing a specific reference to a warm period observed from 1925 to 1945.
Here,
high pressure studies show that force constants of iron bonds increase with pressure similarly for silicate and metals
suggesting interplanetary isotopic
variability is not due to core formation.
If the greenhouse effect played such a small role [edit], there should be an ENORMOUS climate sensitivity to «natural factors», which in turn strongly
suggests there should be a much
higher variability in global temperatures on a year - to - year basis.
Boyce et al have looked at stress reactivity in children and have shown that a
high degree of
variability exists.21 Traditionally, genetic predispositions were thought to play a major role in determining stress reactivity, but more recent data
suggest that previous experiences also play an important role.22 Stress reactivity, much like brain development itself, results from a complex, dynamic interaction between genes (nature) and the environment (nurture) over time.
The concept of resilience and closely related research regarding protective factors provides one avenue for addressing mental well - being that is
suggested to have an impact on adolescent substance use.8 — 17 Resilience has been variably defined as the process of, capacity for, or outcome of successful adaptation in the context of risk or adversity.9, 10, 12, 13, 18 Despite this
variability, it is generally agreed that a range of individual and environmental protective factors are thought to: contribute to an individual's resilience; be critical for positive youth development and protect adolescents from engaging in risk behaviours, such as substance use.19 — 22 Individual or internal resilience factors refer to the personal skills and traits of young people (including self - esteem, empathy and self - awareness).23 Environmental or external resilience factors refer to the positive influences within a young person's social environment (including connectedness to family, school and community).23 Various studies have separately reported such factors to be negatively associated with adolescent use of different types of substances, 12, 16, 24 — 36 for example,
higher self - esteem16, 29, 32, 35 is associated with lower likelihood of tobacco and alcohol use.
Additionally, individuals
high in dispositional optimism also reported greater
variability in state optimism, which
suggested that the influence of individual differences might play a role in the ability to modulate optimism in response to situations (Shifren & Hooker, 1995b).
