Mike's work, like that of previous award winners, is diverse, and includes pioneering and highly cited work in time series analysis (an elegant use of Thomson's multitaper spectral analysis approach to detect spatiotemporal oscillations in the
climate record and methods for smoothing temporal data), decadal climate variability (the term «Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation» or «AMO» was coined by Mike in an interview with Science's Richard Kerr about a paper he had published with Tom Delworth of GFDL showing evidence in both climate model simulations and observational data for a 50 - 70 year oscillation in the climate system; significantly Mike also published work with Kerry Emanuel in 2006 showing that the AMO concept has been overstated as regards its role in 20th century tropical Atlantic SST changes, a finding recently reaffirmed by a study published in Nature), in showing how changes in radiative forcing from volcanoes can affect ENSO, in examining the role of solar variations in explaining the pattern of the Medieval Climate Anomaly and Little Ice Age, the relationship between the climate changes of past centuries and phenomena such as Atlantic tropical cyclones and global sea level, and even a bit of work in atmospheric chemistry (an analysis of beryllium - 7 measure

However, when you look at all the «big picture»
evidence of the
global system it is clear that there is nothing «natural»
about it, in fact it appears that the planet is in early stages of an abrupt
change of
climate from our «normal» system to one that is much warmer and tropical like.

evidence and ongoing
global changes imply that today's CO2,
about 385 ppm, is already too high to maintain the

Climate Change last year) and has now been picked up by some climate scie

climate scie
climate scientists.
[¶]... Basing our assessment on a combination of several independent lines of
evidence, as summarised in Box 10.2 Figures 1 and 2, including observed
climate change and the strength of known feedbacks simulated in GCMs, we conclude that the
global mean equilibrium warming for doubling CO2, or «equilibrium
climate sensitivity», is likely to lie in the range 2 °C to 4.5 °C, with a most likely value of
about 3 °C.
Although many people have accepted with half - believing and half - doubting the view that the emission of greenhouse gases is the primary factors in

Which leads to another observation
