The climate record obtained from two long Greenland ice cores reveals several brief
climate oscillations during glacial time.

Similar fluctuations in OMZ intensity have occurred
during the Dansgaard - Oeschger (D - O) events (millennial - scale abrupt
climate oscillations)
during the last glacial period (Cannariato and Kennett, 1999; Schmittner et al., 2007).
Nieves said an example is the U.S. West Coast, where the phase of a multi-decadal ocean
climate pattern called the Pacific Decadal
Oscillation has helped keep sea level rise lower
during the past two decades.
It has also been demonstrated that
during oscillations of earth's
climate, CO2 increase have occurred after warming... not before.
Solar influence
during that period is much less than estimated less than a decade ago meaning that aerosols and / or natural
climate oscillations played a greater than estimated role.
* It would take only a small further reduction in
climate forcing (less long - lived GHGs or whatever) to yield more ice
during the glacial phase of glacial - interglacial
oscillations.
During this time, the very short wavelength UV was 10 % lower than it was during time of high solar activity and now even the climate modelers are beginning to find that this can lead to negative polar oscillation and cold winters in the temperate latti

during time of high solar activity and now even the
climate modelers are beginning to find that this can lead to negative polar
oscillation and cold winters in the temperate lattitudes.
The two studies to be discussed are: Atlantic Multidecadal
Oscillation and Northern Hemisphere's
climate variability (2012) and Role for Eurasian Arctic shelf sea ice in a secularly varying hemispheric
climate signal
during the 20th century (2013)
If ocean
oscillations are as powerful a
climate driver as the anti-CO2 alarmists claim then this graph suggests a simple story: that cold Pacific surface waters swallowed up a big gulp of warmth from 1940 - 1970, which the PDO then belched back up
during its warm - phase in the 80s and 90s.
the period is typified by sharp

Climate in the 1730's wasn't exceeded until the 1990's (since when the temperature has dropped back) In consequence he confirmed that natural variability was greater than he had originally believed.
Over the past 60 years, Alaska has warmed more than twice as rapidly as the rest of the United States, with state - wide average annual air temperature increasing by 3 °F and average winter temperature by 6 °F, with substantial year - to - year and regional variability.1 Most of the warming occurred around 1976
during a shift in a long - lived
climate pattern (the Pacific Decadal
Oscillation [PDO]-RRB- from a cooler pattern to a warmer one.

The North Atlantic
Oscillation (NAO) is an important source of
climate variability in the Northern Hemisphere; here, a model - tested reconstruction of the NAO for the past millennium reveals that positive NAO phases were predominant
during the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, but not
during the whole medieval period.
Using measured amounts of GHGs
during the past 800000 years of glacial — interglacial
climate oscillations and surface albedo inferred from sea - level data, we show that a single empirical «fast - feedback»
climate sensitivity can account well for the global temperature change over that range of
climate states.
Natural factors such as the Sun (84 papers), multi-decadal oceanic - atmospheric
oscillations such as the NAO, AMO / PDO, ENSO (31 papers), decadal - scale cloud cover variations, and internal variability in general have exerted a significant influence on weather and
climate changes
during both the past and present.
The natural causes of
climate variations that have time scales (century, decadal; e.g. Schwabe sunspot cycles, average solar output
during the satellite measuring era,, ENSO / PDO / AMO and the rest of the alphabet soup of «
oscillations», volcanism) either don't capture energy over multiple cycles — if I push a child on a swing, his average position doesn't move away from me — or are going in the wrong direction.
The models heavily relied upon by the Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change (IPCC) had not projected this multidecadal stasis in «global warming»; nor (until trained ex post facto) the fall in TS from 1940 - 1975; nor 50 years» cooling in Antarctica (Doran et al., 2002) and the Arctic (Soon, 2005); nor the absence of ocean warming since 2003 (Lyman et al., 2006; Gouretski & Koltermann, 2007); nor the onset, duration, or intensity of the Madden - Julian intraseasonal
