cycles driven the imposed diurnal and
seasonal cycles in incident solar radiation; the texture of internal variability can also shift.
Also, just because the average pole - to - equator temperature gradient is decreasing doesn't mean that the
seasonal variation won't still be in place, and then there's the whole issue of the hydrologic

as well.
Thus the first year (s) temperature change is the most responsible for the first year (s) change in CO2 increase, but

Rather than questioning the primary role of the atmospheric CO2, our modelling results allow us to put forward that the atmospheric CO2 is not the whole story and that, owing to the overwhelming effect and interplay between the paleogeography, the water
cycle and the
seasonal response, the climate system may undergo subtle climatic changes (
as the 4 °C global warming simulated here between the Aptian and the Maastrichtian runs).

«A climate pattern may come in the form of a regular
cycle, like the diurnal
cycle or the
seasonal cycle; a quasi periodic event, like El Niño; or a highly irregular event, such
as a volcanic winter... A mode of variability is a climate pattern with identifiable characteristics, specific regional effects, and often oscillatory behavior... the mode of variability with the greatest effect on climates worldwide is the
seasonal cycle, followed by El Niño - Southern Oscillation, followed by thermohaline circulation.»
By that standard, last week in Rochester we should have stopped preparing for winter given that we had several days of warm temperatures that surely made the temperature trends over some reasonable time period of a week or more positive rather than negative,

as evidenced by the superior skill of a single predictor, OLR
seasonal cycle, over their group of predictors.
[4] The aspects of each of these measures that are used
as predictors are their climatology (the 2001 - 2015 mean), the magnitude (standard deviation) of their
seasonal cycle, and monthly variability (standard deviation of their deseasonalized monthly values).
Of course the trend in CO2 is the difference over a full
seasonal cycle,
as I said before, but the
