The suggestion that skillful decadal forecasts can be produced on large regional scales by exploiting the response to anthropogenic forcing provides additional evidence that
anthropogenic change in the composition of the atmosphere has influenced the climate.
Climate change may be due to natural internal processes or external forcings such as modulations of the solar cycles, volcanic eruptions, and persistent
anthropogenic changes in the composition of the atmosphere or in land use.

in addition to natural climate trends and variability observed over comparable time periods.
Changes in atmospheric
