[Response: And note that the abstract linked says «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.»

One of the really troubling long - term aspects of oceanic warming is the possibility of anoxic oceans, which have occurred in the deep past during «hothouse Earth» episodes.

I would like to read a book about how the rate and degree of warming expected to take place over the next couple centuries compares with global warming episodes in Earth's past, and how today's plants and animals might not survive climate change and heat waves more severe than experienced during the climates in which their species evolved.

I can see how the anomalous westerlies and high surface pressure could contribute to warmer SSTs north of 20N in the Atlantic during El nino episodes, but to say it weakens the trade winds in the tropical belt is incorrect, most especially during the summer months when the Azores - Bermuda High is farther north.

Greenland has undoubtedly contributed to episodes of accelerating and decelerating sea level changes, but the greatest rate of Greenland warming occurred during the 1920s and 30s.

Therefore one would expect to see the rate of warming between the late 197s and the late 1990s to be greater than the rate of warming that occurred during the earlier two warming episodes.

The best way to envision the relation between ENSO and precipitation over East Africa is to regard the Indian Ocean as a mirror of the Pacific Ocean sea surface temperature anomalies [much like the Western Hemisphere Warm Pool creates such a SST mirror with the Atlantic Ocean too]: during a La Niña episode, waters in the eastern Pacific are relatively cool as strong trade winds blow the tropically Sun - warmed waters far towards the west.

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.»

Reconstructed Arctic SATs show episodes of warming during this per - iod (Fig. 3f), but according to our results the decrease in Arctic sea ice extent during the Little Ice Age was more pronounced than during the earlier Medieval Warm Optimum.»

We know that tropical creatures inhabited high latitudes during various hothouse episodes, so the possibility exists that a large chunk of the 14 C deltaT was in temperate and higher latitudes, with the tropics only modestly warmer.
