(Sec. 452) National Climate Service Act of 2009 - Requires the President to: (1) initiate a process through the Committee on Environment and Natural Resources of the National Science and Technology Council, led by the Director of OSTP, to evaluate alternative structures to support a collaborative, interagency research and operational program to meet the needs of decision makers for information related to climate variability and change; (2) provide a plan to establish such a program; and (3) within three years after enactment of this Act, establish a National Climate Service to accomplish the prograClimate Service Act of 2009 - Requires the President to: (1) initiate a process through the Committee on Environment and Natural Resources of the National Science and Technology Council, led by the Director of OSTP, to evaluate alternative structures to support a collaborative, interagency research and operational program to meet the needs of decision makers for information related to climate variability and change; (2) provide a plan to establish such a program; and (3) within three years after enactment of this Act, establish a National Climate Service to accomplish the prograclimate variability and change; (2) provide a plan to establish such a program; and (3) within three years after enactment of this Act, establish a National Climate Service to accomplish the prograClimate Service to accomplish the program goal.

In response to claims made by Bob Carter that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change had not uncovered evidence that global warming was caused by human activity, a former CSIRO climate scientist stated that Bob Carter was not a credible source on climate change and that «if he [Carter] has any evidence that [global warming over the past 100 years] is a natural variability he should publish through the peer review process.Climate Change had not uncovered evidence that global warming was caused by human activity, a former CSIRO climate scientist stated that Bob Carter was not a credible source on climate change and that «if he [Carter] has any evidence that [global warming over the past 100 years] is a natural variability he should publish through the peer review process.&Change had not uncovered evidence that global warming was caused by human activity, a former CSIRO climate scientist stated that Bob Carter was not a credible source on climate change and that «if he [Carter] has any evidence that [global warming over the past 100 years] is a natural variability he should publish through the peer review process.climate scientist stated that Bob Carter was not a credible source on climate change and that «if he [Carter] has any evidence that [global warming over the past 100 years] is a natural variability he should publish through the peer review process.climate change and that «if he [Carter] has any evidence that [global warming over the past 100 years] is a natural variability he should publish through the peer review process.&change and that «if he [Carter] has any evidence that [global warming over the past 100 years] is a natural variability he should publish through the peer review process.»

US CLIVAR will foster connections with other scientific communities and partners to address how the ocean will respond to climate variability and change by engaging these communities through working groups, workshops, professional societies, and encouraging work across disciplines.

People are already experiencing the impacts of climate change through slow onset changes, for example sea level rise and greater variability in the seasonality of rainfall, and through extreme weather events, particularly extremes of heat, rainfall and coastal storm surges.

For example, responses to recent historical climate variability and change in four locations in southern Africa demonstrated that people were highly aware of changes in the climate, including longer dry seasons and more uncertain rainfall, and were adjusting to change through collective and individual actions that included both short - term coping through switching crops and long - term adaptations such as planting trees, and commercialising and diversifying livelihoods (Thomas and Twyman, 2005; Thomas et al., 2005).

Climate change, including changed weather variability, is anticipated to increase losses and loss variability in various regions through more frequent and / or intensive weather disasters.

The signal - free concept stems from the observation that individual tree - ring measurement series represent a mixture of potential growth influences, among which are included first, that of climate variability through time and second, that of changing allocation processes and tree geometry that both affect the size of annual stem increments.

The Process Study and Model Improvement (PSMI) Panel's mission is to reduce uncertainties in the general circulation models used for climate variability prediction and climate change projections through an improved understanding and representation of the physical processes governing climate and its variation.

However, Solanki et al made the same point as we do: «This comparison shows without requiring any recourse to modeling that since roughly 1970 the solar influence on climate (through the channels considered here) can not have been dominant» (Solanki et al., 2003), and: «Although the rarity of the current episode of high average sunspot numbers may indicate that the Sun has contributed to the unusual climate change during the twentieth century, we point out that solar variability is unlikely to have been the dominant cause of the strong warming during the past three decades.»

The authors tried to constrain the global - mean future precipitation change simulated by the set of climate models participating in the CMIP2 model intercomparison project through observable temperature variability and a simple energetic framework.

Again I want to emphasize that my use of the temperature change rate, rather than temperature, as the predicted variable is based upon the expectation that these natural modes of climate variability represent forcing mechanisms — I believe through changes in cloud cover — which then cause a lagged temperature response.This is what Anthony and I are showing here:

Abrupt climate change due to variations in the atmospheric circulation and its attendant patterns of climate variability can arise through two principal mechanisms: (1) through abrupt changes in the time - dependent behavior of the circulation; or (2) through slowly evolving changes in the circulation that project onto large horizontal gradients in surface weather.

The primary objective here is to try to quantify the character of natural variability though the instrumental record of climate, through paleoclimate evidence (e.g. ice cores), and in computer models that run for long periods of time without any change in climate forcing (i.e. constant sunlight and greenhouse gases).

CP covers all temporal scales of climate change and variability, from geological time through to multidecadal studies of the last century.

By engaging with decision makers in both the private and public sector on issues related to weather and seasonal climate variability through my company CFAN, my perspective on uncertainty and confidence in context of prediction, and how to convey this, has utterly and irreversibly changed.
