Beyond honing communications skills, participants said while the discussions often started off with broad trends in climate science, invariably the exchanges shifted to specific local issues such as wildfires, ozone levels, crop rotations, sea level rise, droughts and air quality.
In the amicus brief, the Climate Science Legal Defense Fund sides with the university arguing that E&E Legal Institute's efforts «are part of a broader trend of harassment that threatens the core of the scientific endeavor.»
While most previous such work focuses on mean or average values, the authors in this paper acknowledge that climate in the broader sense encompasses variations between years, trends, averages and extreme events.
Climate models have passed a broad range of validation tests — e.g. a 30 - year warming trend, response to perturbations like ENSO and volcanic eruptions... On the other hand, in a statistical model, parameters of the model are determined by a fit to the model.
If it somehow becomes law and its provisions get carried out, will the bill matter in the broader context of global climate change and emissions trends?
To set the recent trend in broader context, check out sociologist Robert Brulle's graph tracking network news coverage of global warming and the following graph of newspaper coverage of climate change from 1980 to 2006 (a separate newspaper sample) from Dr. Boykoff's recent paper in Nature Reports — Climate climate change from 1980 to 2006 (a separate newspaper sample) from Dr. Boykoff's recent paper in Nature Reports — Climate Climate Change:
I know in general terms that the hydrological cycle should intensify with warming and that one event is hard to pin on climate change, but it would be good to do a catch up on how the broad trend of extreme weather fits the models.
If your climate trend horizon is even broader (and broadening one's horizons seems to me a good thing), then you'll have to wait even longer.
I hope this will lead to a broader discussion about the contribution of natural variability to local climate trends and to the statistics of extreme events.
Climate models don't predict specific years, but broad trends.
Natural variability is now widely accepted as making a significant contribution and our argument for a lowered climate sensitivity — which would indicate that existing climate models are not reliable tools for projecting future climate trends — is buoyed by accumulating evidence and is gaining support in the broader climate research community.
«There is some evidence of changes consistent with mid-winter warming and little evidence of changes in the fall,» he said, «but questions of the broader impact, the cause of this trend, and whether the warmer climate in New England is linked to global climate change are beyond the scope of these studies.»
If you are trying to test the hypothesis that climate models have not predicted the pause since 1998, then you should be comparing trends between models and observations, rather than seeing if the observed temperature anomalies lie within a broad envelope of climate model simulations.
In her paper Impacts of Extreme Weather and Climate on Terrestrial Biota2 Parmesan wrote, «Here, evidence is brought forward that extreme weather events can be implicated as mechanistic drivers of broad ecological responses to climatic trends.
However, since climate models are better able to capture broad patterns of middle atmospheric pressure (which are strongly linked to precipitation) than precipitation itself, it's likely that we can still say something meaningful about trends in large - scale atmospheric patterns conducive to low precipitation (and, therefore, drought).
What's more, they continue to ignore the broader, more important problem with Will's discussion of sea ice: the facts that picking out two days from a thirty - year time series is not a meaningful way to look at climate trends, and that climate models do not, in fact, lead you to expect a decrease in global ice cover.
I expect CRM solutions to start to catch up with the broader trend of sales methodologies identifying teaching your prospects as a critical factor in today's buying climate.
