If you mix up a bottle of water and powder formula, store the bottles in the back of the fridge, because it's the coolest area, and not in the fridge door where there are temperature fluctuations.

If this interpretation of the observations is correct, it could confirm a 30 - year - old prediction of the cosmic inflation theory: that the simplest models of inflation can generate an observable level of gravitational waves, comparable to density or temperature fluctuations in the early universe.

As a result, even if surface temperature fluctuations stay the same as today, peak temperatures will still happen more often in the east.

The reason I was mentioning the Medieval Warm Period and the Little Ice Age (if they even existed) as important to me was that we have seen some wild fluctuations in the earth's temperature in those periods while the CO2 atmospheric concentrations was a «constant».

But with the constant fluctuations in temperatures, I have been extremely cognizant of bringing cozy cardigans and sweaters with me to stay bundled up, if needed.

He had to tolerate wild fluctuations in temperature; last 24 hours without water, if necessary; and bring down wounded animals.

If one postulates that the global average surface temperature tracks the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere, possibly with some delay, then when the CO2 concentration continues to rise monotonically but the global average surface temperature shows fluctuations as a function of time with changes in slope (periods wherein it decreases), then you must throw the postulate away.

The fluctuations in glonal temperatures over the last few ice ages and over past eons are impossible to understand if teedback to climate forcing is negative.

* There is too much conflicting evidence about climate change to know whether it is actually happening * Current climate change is part of a pattern that has been going on for millions of years * Climate change is just a natural fluctuation in Earth's temperatures * Even if we do experience some consequences from climate change, we will be able to cope with them * The effects of climate change are likely to be catastrophic * The evidence for climate change is unreliable * There are a lot of very different theories about climate change and little agreement about which is right * Scientists have in the past changed their results to make climate change appear worse than it is * Scientists have hidden research that shows climate change is not serious * Climate change is a scam * Social / behavioural scepticism measures * Climate change is so complicated, that there is very little politicians can do about it * There is no point in me doing anything about climate change because no - one else is * The actions of a single person doesn't make any difference in tackling climate change * People are too selfish to do anything about climate change * Not much will be done about climate change, because it is not in human nature to respond to problems that won't happen for many years * It is already too late to do anything about climate change * The media is often too alarmist about climate change * Environmentalists do their best to emphasise the worst possible effects of climate change * Climate change has now become a bit of an outdated issue * Whether it is important or not, on a day - to - day basis I am bored of hearing about climate change

«If the global warming that we see is but a part of normal fluctuations in global temperature over the centuries -LSB-...]»

Its as if someone started of with the premise that the fluctuations seen in annual temperature averages follow a cyclical pattern.

-- However, if in the absence of mitigation these events eventually rose to provide a substantial cooling, it could be highly variable year to year and thereby impose severely damaging global temperature fluctuations, and it could also be at the cost of a related scale of volcanoes, earthquakes and tsunamis destroying more of society's infrastructure.

If there is a similarity between the long Stockholm record, other European records (13), and the Arctic record, as the overlapping period of records indicate, it is likely that the recorded fluctuations in the Arctic temperature are short fragments of a series of fluctuations in the climate.

To add briefly to my earlier point about the difference between short term CO2 growth rate fluctuations due to temperature changes and their inapplicability to long term trends, if we regress CO2 flux rate against temperature, it will show that a rise in temperature induces a change in flux rate in or out of terrestrial or oceanic reservoirs.

If natural, internal, fluctuations move heat from the ocean to the atmosphere, that will be reflected in a reduction in ocean heat content, and hence in measured OHU, and an increase in surface temperatures.

The IPCC * itself * acknowledges that there has been no such warming now for the last 16 - 17 years; that no dramatic imminent change is seen to that for the next couple of years at least; that the previous spell of 15 years or so was precisely the duration of warming that underlay so much of the evidence cited for its alarms of the long and terrible global trend if forecast; that not a single model the IPCC had or has seems to have come even close to predicting what we've now seen; that the IPCC can only suggest possible explanations for all this so logically meaning it can have no reason to believe that whatever is causing it isn't going to continue forever; that more and more studies are coming in attributing global temperatures not to CO2 but instead other things such as solar fluctuations; that a number of predictions are now coming in that in fact say we are now in for a lengthy period of * cooling.

I see the coarse scale fluctuations in mean annual temperatures present in the IPO / PDO and wonder if the hiatus was just the PDO cool phase failing to actually cool — and if so I'd say the news is not good.

Fraedrich & Blender find persistence up to decades, Kiraly et al. find persistence lasting several years, so even if their analysis applied to temperature time series (which it doesn't) rather than fluctuations (which it does), those time scales aren't long enough to explain the trend on a century time scale in observed temperature time series.

If the validation period does not have as strong a trend and the proxies are not skillful at predicting shorter timescale fluctuations in temperature, then the CE can be substantially lower.

This can show wide fluctuations (month to month) which are not necessarily the same as the actual energy in the system (if one month's average is lower than the previous month, but the measured temperature stays the same, the anomaly will increase although the temperature didn't).
