... we strongly support Delworth and Knutson's (2000) contention that this high - latitude warming event represents primarily natural variability within the climate system, rather than being caused primarily by external forcings, whether solar forcing alone (Thejll and Lassen, 2000) or a combination of increasing solar irradiance, increasing anthropogenic trace gases, and
decreasing volcanic aerosols.
Not exact matches
While
volcanic aerosols cause surface cooling due to
decreased shortwave radiation at the surface, they also lead to increased indirect, scattered light at the surface.
Volcanic events and some types of human - made pollution, both of which inject sunlight - reflecting
aerosols (i.e., tiny particles) into the atmosphere, lower temperature and are examples of forcings that drive
decreases in temperature.
The early 20th saw a relative balance of anthro forcings, CO2 up and
aerosol pollution down, natural (
volcanic)
aerosols decreased (up) and solar increased (up).
Causes, and they are multiple, appear to be: 1) Natural variability of ocean to atmosphere sensible and latent heat flux 2) Modest increase in natural
volcanic aerosols 3) Slight
decrease in solar output
Although industrial
aerosols are
decreasing, the climate catastrophists omit to state that
volcanic aerosols kill.
That may well include increased or
decreased natural dust (for natural or unnatural reasons), and definately
volcanic aerosols (note that this factor was increasingly negative in the 40's to 60's) along with man - made
aerosols.
Similarly, if global temperatures drop for some reason (for example, a large
volcanic eruption dumping massive amounts of
aerosols into the air), we should expect to see water vapor concentrations
decrease.
