However, England is talking about the yearly to decadal variations in surface temperature which are strongly
dominated by internal variability due to an unevenly heated, water - covered planet.
Over millennial time spans, researchers reported similar failures reconstructing the Medieval Warm Period writing, «Inter-model differences and model / reconstruction comparisons suggest that simulations of the Medieval Climate Anomaly either fail to reproduce the mechanisms of climate response to changes in external forcing, or that anomalies during this period are largely
influenced by internal variability.
... In short, if CM3's internal variability is realistic, there is some chance that a rapid underlying warming rate of 0.2 K decade − 1 could be ongoing as of 2015, but that this warming signal has been substantially masked (and may continue to be masked for even another decade or more)
by an internal variability cooling episode.
There is medium confidence that the GMST trend difference between models and observations during 1998 — 2012 is to a substantial degree
caused by internal variability, with possible contributions from forcing error and some CMIP5 models overestimating the response to increasing greenhouse - gas forcing.»
As far as there being a «guarantee», all I can say is that I personally have no idea on how to create a consistent model
dominated by internal variability — ie., a model with low climate sensitivity, a trend pattern similar to observations, and a positive heat uptake — as I tried to outline in this post.
In any case, it is good to have a list of what you have to question if, in particular, you want to argue that the warming in the past half - century has been dominated
by internal variability.
The observed warming rate for that period lies above the range of all model responses to combined anthropogenic and natural forcing compiled by IPCC AR4 (29), even after correcting for a discontinuity in the wartime data (43), corroborating the suggestion here that it is mostly caused
by internal variability.
