Instead, they free mankind from blame for climate fluctuations.
Given that calving Patagonia glaciers were far more sensitive to climate fluctuations than western Antarctica, and given the likelihood that paleo sea - ice extent around Antarctica deflected iceberg drift from present pathways, it would be helpful to know how they confirmed the respective continental sources of any dated sediments.
In 1994, Christy and another UAH scientist, Richard McNider, attempted to remove «natural» climate change from the satellite data by backing out El Niño / La Niña fluctuations and the cooling associated with two big volcanoes in 1983 and 1991.
That trend actually had little to do with greenhouse effects but seems to have been simply a natural fluctuation of the climate, a recovery from the preceding «Little Ice Age.»
The utility of climate averaged over long periods is that it removes short term fluctuations from consideration, the same point as in Example 2d.
Second, for millennia, our climate has been relatively close to equilibrium, as discerned from the tendency of fluctuations to return to a steadier baseline, from energy balance studies, and from observational data on feedbacks.
There are, however, caveats: (1) multidecadal fluctuations in Arctic — subarctic climate and sea ice appear most pronounced in the Atlantic sector, such that the pan-Arctic signal may be substantially smaller [e.g., Polyakov et al., 2003; Mahajan et al., 2011]; (2) the sea - ice records synthesized here represent primarily the cold season (winter — spring), whereas the satellite record clearly shows losses primarily in summer, suggesting that other processes and feedback are important; (3) observations show that while recent sea - ice losses in winter are most pronounced in the Greenland and Barents Seas, the largest reductions in summer are remote from the Atlantic, e.g., Beaufort, Chukchi, and Siberian seas (National Snow and Ice Data Center, 2012, http://nsidc.org/Arcticseaicenews/); and (4) the recent reductions in sea ice should not be considered merely the latest in a sequence of AMOrelated multidecadal fluctuations but rather the first one to be superposed upon an anthropogenic GHG warming background signal that is emerging strongly in the Arctic [Kaufmann et al., 2009; Serreze et al., 2009].
To add to the point made by Chris Colose, the low sensitivity estimates from Lindzen or Spencer / Braswell that he refers to are based on short term climate fluctuations of the ENSO type.
The North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), the dominant mode of atmospheric circulation variability over the North Atlantic / European sector, is a leading governor of wintertime climate fluctuations in Europe, the Mediterranean, parts of the Middle East and eastern North America over a wide range of time scales from intra-seasonal to multi-decadal (e.g., Hurrell 1995; Hurrell et al. 2003).
The second substitution is to treat Spencer's non-radiative term — which originally related to internal energy added to the connected climate system (like thermohaline - driven or advective energy changes from deep ocean) as though it were the same as the whole variation in OHC instead of the fluctuations due to ENSO (Effectively, he assumes F - lamda * deltaT = 0).
We find that the expected 95 % range of future climate trends induced by NAO fluctuations estimated from the observed statistics of the NAO and the modeled response to increased GHGs is largely similar to that obtained from the CESM - LE directly, attesting to the fidelity of the model's representation of the NAO and the utility of this approach.
The near - linear rate of anthropogenic warming (predominantly from anthropogenic greenhouse gases) is shown in sources such as: «Deducing Multidecadal Anthropogenic Global Warming Trends Using Multiple Regression Analysis» «The global warming hiatus — a natural product of interactions of a secular warming trend and a multi-decadal oscillation» «The Origin and Limits of the Near Proportionality between Climate Warming and Cumulative CO2 Emissions» «Sensitivity of climate to cumulative carbon emissions due to compensation of ocean heat and carbon uptake» «Return periods of global climate fluctuations and the pause» «Using data to attribute episodes of warming and cooling in instrumental records» «The proportionality of global warming to cumulative carbon emissions» «The sensitivity of the proportionality between temperature change and cumulative CO2 emissions to ocean mixingClimate Warming and Cumulative CO2 Emissions» «Sensitivity of climate to cumulative carbon emissions due to compensation of ocean heat and carbon uptake» «Return periods of global climate fluctuations and the pause» «Using data to attribute episodes of warming and cooling in instrumental records» «The proportionality of global warming to cumulative carbon emissions» «The sensitivity of the proportionality between temperature change and cumulative CO2 emissions to ocean mixingclimate to cumulative carbon emissions due to compensation of ocean heat and carbon uptake» «Return periods of global climate fluctuations and the pause» «Using data to attribute episodes of warming and cooling in instrumental records» «The proportionality of global warming to cumulative carbon emissions» «The sensitivity of the proportionality between temperature change and cumulative CO2 emissions to ocean mixingclimate fluctuations and the pause» «Using data to attribute episodes of warming and cooling in instrumental records» «The proportionality of global warming to cumulative carbon emissions» «The sensitivity of the proportionality between temperature change and cumulative CO2 emissions to ocean mixing»
Considering the 250 - y record from Stockholm, it becomes obvious that these last 100 y of warming climate comprise only one section of a fluctuating climate, or, in other words, a small fraction of a series of several such fluctuations in the temperature.
The bottom line is that true bumps, dips, and flat times punctuate the climate record, and need not be spurious in order to understand them to be fluctuations around a longer term trend, which for the past 100 years has been upward, with the years since 1950 well explained mainly by GHG - mediated forcing, plus a smaller contribution from other factors.
My own reading of the evidence is that much of the fluctuation during that interval was due to natural unforced variability from internal climate dynamics, with aerosols perhaps adding some cooling after 1950 but not necessarily a major player before 1950 nor necessarily an exclusive player from 1950 to the mid 1950s.
«The Economic Impacts of Climate Change: Evidence from Agricultural Output and Random Fluctuations in Weather».
However, sea - level fluctuations in response to changing climate have been reconstructed for the past 22,000 years from fossil data, a period that covers the transition from the Last Glacial Maximum to the warm Holocene interglacial period.
In climate science, 30 years is the accepted trend period, partly I think for historical reasons, but the length of time also makes allowance for anomalies arising from short - term fluctuations in weather and other events such as volcanoes.
Recent accelerated warming of the Arctic results from a positive reinforcement of the linear warming trend (due to an increasing concentration of greenhouse gases and other possible forcings) by the warming phase of the multidecadal climate variability (due to fluctuations of the Atlantic Ocean circulation).»
From this way to write a variable does not follow that climate = signal and fluctuation (or weather) = noise.
The study's lead author, Professor Stefan Rahmstorf, from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, Germany, says: «Short - term fluctuations are unavoidable in global temperature.
The new guidelines from the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change to be presented at the upcoming U.N. climate summit in Warsaw offer improved methodologies that will make it easier for countries to measure wetland carbon fluctuations more accurately, said Daniel Murdiyarso, a principal scientist at the Center for International Forestry Research (Climate Change to be presented at the upcoming U.N. climate summit in Warsaw offer improved methodologies that will make it easier for countries to measure wetland carbon fluctuations more accurately, said Daniel Murdiyarso, a principal scientist at the Center for International Forestry Research (climate summit in Warsaw offer improved methodologies that will make it easier for countries to measure wetland carbon fluctuations more accurately, said Daniel Murdiyarso, a principal scientist at the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR).
The natural internal variability of the climate system arises from factors such as El Niño, fluctuations in the thermohaline circulation, and changes in ocean heat content.
«To assess the natural variability before much human interference, the new study uses «multi-proxy climate reconstructions» developed by scientists in recent years to estimate historical temperatures, as well as fluctuation - analysis techniques from nonlinear geophysics.
