These factors driving the present changes of the NHSM system are instrumental for understanding and predicting future decadal changes and determining the proportions of climate change that are attributable to anthropogenic effects and long - term internal variability in the complex climate system.

Given the multiple drivers of migration (Black et al., 2011a and b) and the complex interactions which mediate migratory decision - making by individual or households (Raleigh, 2008; McLeman and Smit, 2006; Kniveton et al., 2011; Black et al., 2011a and b), the projection of the effects of climate change on intra-rural and rural - to - urban migration remains a major challenge.

The central issues of climate change and oil decline are so broad and complex that both science and advocacy fall victim to the recency effect.

The advantage of recognising a reversed sign for the solar effect high up in the atmosphere is that it enables a scenario whereby the bottom up effects of ocean cycles and the top down effects of solar variability can be seen to be engaged in a complex ever changing dance with the primary climate response being changes in the tropospheric air circulation systems to give us the observed natural climate variability via cyclical latitudinal shifts in all the air circulation systems and notably the jet streams.

The L&D issue is complex — and sensitive — involving climate impacts and risks for developing countries, which are more vulnerable to the effects of climate change.

Because the basics of anthropogenic global warming are fairly straightforward — CO2 is a greenhouse gas, because of the lapse rate water vapor condenses or freezes out in the troposphere and acts mainly to amplify the effect of CO2, humans are burning a lot of fossil C and increasing the CO2 in the atmosphere, the surface of the earth is warming, the cryosphere is retreating, the climate that supports civilization is rapidly changing, and consequently we are facing an uncertain future — but the details are complex, it's easy to «misunderestimate» the way climate works in detail.

Increasingly strong and complex global linkages: climate - change effects cascade through expanding series of international trade, migration and communication patterns to produce a variety of indirect effects, some of which may be unanticipated, especially if the globalised economy becomes less resilient and more interdependent (very high confidence).
