And then there are others making arguments like this independently - e.g. Tsonis, A. A., K. Swanson, and S. Kravtsov (2007), A new
dynamical mechanism for major climate shifts, Geophys.
So we have a bit of a theory — a new
dynamical mechanism for major climate shifts.

There are two papers from Tsonis and colleagues — the 2007 paper — «A new
dynamical mechanism for major climate shifts» and the 2009 paper — «Has the climate recently shifted?»

We were very excited too when FOMBS joined the serried ranks rising and cheering in celebration of the stadium wave — the second most exciting climate discovery of the century thus far — after and supplementary to
the dynamical mechanism for major climate shifts.
The original paper by Tsonis and colleagues in 2007 — A new
dynamical mechanism for major climate shifts — puts it in context.

Several
dynamical mechanisms for this have been proposed recently.
Not exact matches
Furthermore, it has been suggested that an important
mechanism for solar influence on climate is via
dynamical effects on the Arctic Oscillation [Shindell et al., 2001, 2003b].
So our point is, of course, that regardless of what
mechanisms are responsible
for a mean change in the Walker circulation in the AR4 simulations you've analyzed, if the simulations are not getting the
dynamical mechanisms discussed in our post right, it is quite conceivable that at least the amplitude and perhaps the sign of the change in the Walker circulation is wrong, regardless of what
mechanisms are responsible
for the changes in the simulations analyzed.
Furthermore, it has been suggested that an important
mechanism for solar influence on climate is via
dynamical effects on the Arctic Oscillation [Shindell et al., 2001, 2003b].
And there is a whole diverse literature on both
dynamical mechanisms and a solar UV trigger
for modulating quasi standing waves in the Earth flow field at scales from minutes to millennia.
Tsonis uses a mathematical test
for resonance between modes of climate variability to discover a new
dynamical mechanism in climate.
The
dynamical mechanism is an inevitable conclusion drawn
for the history of climate.
