However, radiation changes at the top of the atmosphere from the 1980s to 1990s, possibly related in part to the El Niño - Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon, appear to be associated with reductions in tropical upper - level cloud cover, and are linked to changes in the energy budget at the surface and changes in observed ocean heat content.

He notes that the sat photos show that cloud cover remains low and that the ice is very mobile at a time when the pack should be most firm (not really a surprise since ocean temps are much more important than air temps, and apparently it's the ocean temps that have been the largest factor in the recent sharp sea ice reduction).

Geoengineering proposals fall into at least three broad categories: 1) managing atmospheric greenhouse gases (e.g., ocean fertilization and atmospheric carbon capture and sequestration), 2) cooling the Earth by reflecting sunlight (e.g., putting reflective particles into the atmosphere, putting mirrors in space to reflect the sun's energy, increasing surface reflectivity and altering the amount or characteristics of clouds), and 3) moderating specific impacts of global warming (e.g., efforts to limit sea level rise by increasing land storage of water, protecting ice sheets or artificially enhancing mountain glaciers).

sheesh 2 DEGREES just look at the s ** t we are getting at 0.8 degrees Its like goodbye coral reefs, goodbye amazon rainforest, goodbye himalayan glaciers that provide water to 40 % worlds population (lot of poeple in china), goodbye east india monsoon rains needed to grow crops, hello more droughts, hello more forest fires, hello more heat waves, hello more stronger huricanes / typhones / cyclones, hello more floods (because warmer oceans have even more water evaporated from them turned into clouds and blown over land so even more rain pours down at once), hello more jellyfish (they thrive in acidified oceans because of CO2 absorbtion).

And just as increased algal productivity at sea increases the emission of sulfur gases to the atmosphere, ultimately leading to more and brighter clouds over the world's oceans, so too do CO2 - induced increases in terrestrial plant productivity lead to enhanced emissions of various sulfur gases over land, where they likewise ultimately cool the planet.

Long waves (infrared) light from the sun, GHGs, clouds, are trapped at the surface of the oceans, directly leading to increased «skin» temperature, more water vapor (a very effective GHG), faster convection (with more loss of heat to space in the tropics),... How each of them converts to real regional / global temperature increases / decreases is another point of discussion...

Your statement that «Thus it is natural to look at the real world and see whether there is evidence that it behaves in the same way (and it appears to, since model hindcasts of past changes match observations very well)» seems to indicate that you think there will be no changes in ocean circulation or land use trends, nor any subsequent changes in cloud responses thereto or other atmospheric circulation.

Kasting had one very primitive go at a radiative - convective study of the effect of clouds on runaway greenhouse, which suggested that clouds might prevent the whole ocean from going aloft.

As for the Sun, well, like AnnaV I consider that the 2 by far most important factors in climate evolution is the cloudiness because it governs albedo and the large scale oceans» behaviour because that's where the energy is Again you are so angry at the AGW crowd, that you miss the whole point: the all - important clouds and albedo vary together, but do not vary with the solar cycle, as far as our observations go, e.g. http://www.leif.org/research/cloud-cover.png and http://www.leif.org/research/albedo.png

Notably, by studying the clouds over a limited region of the atmosphere over the eastern Pacific Ocean, as well as over nearby land masses, the team at the university's International Pacific Research Centre have declared themselves firmly in the latter camp, warning that, as temperatures continue to creep steadily upwards over the next 100 years, cloud cover will become thinner and more - sparse, thereby serving to exacerbate the problem.

ii) The oceans appear to vary in the rate at which they release solar energy back to the air which affects atmospheric composition via humidity, clouds and global albedo.

Disputes within climate science concern the nature and magnitude of feedback processes involving clouds and water vapor, uncertainties about the rate at which the oceans take up heat and carbon dioxide, the effects of air pollution, and the nature and importance of climate change effects such as rising sea level, increasing acidity of the ocean, and the incidence of weather hazards such as floods, droughts, storms, and heat waves.

The system has a large number of interacting parts — cloud, ice, biology, dust, ocean and atmospheric circulation — that together result in climate variation at all scales.

It shows an ocean heat peak in the 1990's — that follows changes in cloud radiative forcing at toa.

Whatever wide - ranging coherence one finds at multi-decadal frequencies is more likely the result of global - scale variations in cloud - regulated thermalization of solar irradiance and the lagged advection of heat from the tropics by winds and ocean currents.

There are changes in ocean and atmospheric circulation — and cloud — at multidecadal scales.

Although substantial interdecadal variability is present in the time series, long - term decreases in upper - level cloud cover occur over land and ocean at low and middle latitudes in both hemispheres.

As Roy Spencer points out, it doesn't take much of a change in cloud cover to account for global warming due to increased insolation * at the ocean surface *.

Over the ocean this includes: sea surface slope and surface current, significant wave height, wind speed and sea level from radar altimetry at about 10 km resolution: sea surface temperature under cloud free conditions from the infrared radiometer at about 300 m resolution; chlorophyll a and phytoplankton from the imaging spectrometer under cloud free conditions at about 300 m resolution.

Of course that relegates CO2 to a bit part at best, since it is clouds / water vapor that regulate how much energy enter the oceans and how much is deflected.

I was thinking along those lines, inland, away from the ocean there would be less cloud and more radiation to space at night, lowering Tmin and lowering the average.

I say my conclusion was «not unreasonable» because Dr. Scafetta, in a posting at WattsUpWithThat today, has also concluded that, once the natural 60 - year cycles of the great ocean oscillations are accounted for (and it may be these cycles that express themselves in changes in cloud cover such as that which Dr. Pinker had identified), the anthropogenic component in global warming is considerably less than the IPCC imagines.

Could it be that the ocean has maintained surface temperatures at a high level these last seven years because it is dissipating heat it gained while the sun was very active and cloud albedo was reduced in the later C20th?

Several factors play a role when a hurricane gains more power rapidly, including the temperature of the surface of the ocean, humidity, characteristics of the clouds, the heat content in the ocean, and the direction of the wind at the surface compared to miles above.

Spencer / Braswell and Lindzen / Choi look at the relationship between changes in ocean heat, cloud cover (directly affecting the amount of heat lost to space), and global surface temperature over recent decades.
