Thanks for publishing this, there are folks who denigrated the work of scientists that claimed a solar - climate (temperature) link because the variability in solar energy output just wasn't enough to explain the temperature swings, and perhaps they now realize that there could be another mechanism - similar to a transistor where small changes in gate voltage can affect large changes in power transmission - whereby solar activity can create significant effects on temperature.

Zachary Hurwitz from International Rivers writes on Google's Lat - Long blog, «This new Google Earth tour takes viewers on a trip to the world's dam - building hotspots to visualize the effect that large dams have on the climate, river ecosystems, and the communities that depend on them.

CO2 emissions in particular continue to increase at a rapid rate; ii) the effect of these gases is to warm the climate and it is very likely that most of the warming over the last 50 years was in fact driven by these increases; and iii) the sensitivity of the climate is very likely large enough that serious consequences can be expected if carbon emissions continue on this path.

I had been preparing comments to explain — how LW radiative forcing (greenhouse effect) works, why forcing from CO2 is approximately linearly proportional to CO2 at sufficiently small amounts of CO2 and approximately logarithmically proportional to CO2 within a range of larger amounts, and then how the climate responds to forcings, but that got very very long and so I'm going to hold off on that.

Foukal et al did not claim to show that solar forcing has no effect on climate, merely that there is no positive evidence for a longer term forcing larger than seen over the 11 year cycle.

In this case I did look at the slide (of Robock in # 92) in which he didn't find any influence on climate over 20 - year periods, after correction for the diffuse light effect on tree growth, except after quite strong eruptions (of we had only 9 in the past 600 years + Tambora, which was an order of magnitude larger).

The message of my paper is that if the temperature has a large 1000 - year cycle, likely the climate models are seriously underestimating the solar effect on climate.

CLOUD's genesis is in the mid-1990s, when space physicist Hendrik Svensmark hypothesized that cosmic rays as mediated by solar effects, play a very large role on the physics of climate, and could explain the warming and cooling trends.

«Warming of the oceans... affecting... large - scale climate patterns... however, due to the long time scales of ocean dynamics... and the relatively short length of observational data... the effects of those changes on catastrophic risk... unclear.»

The effect of large - scale model time step and multiscale coupling frequency on cloud climatology, vertical structure, and rainfall extremes in a superparameterized global climate model.

«Books on climate change tend to focus on what is expected to happen this century, which will certainly be large, but they often neglect the even larger changes expected to take place over many centuries.The Long Thaw looks at climate effects beyond the twenty - first century, and its focus on the long - term carbon cycle, rather than just climate change, is unique.»

Second, the debates among climatologists nowadays are not over whether there is human - exacerbated climate change — melting polar ice, rise in sea level, more tropical storms, etc. — but over how large the effects are (one or four degrees), and what the specific consequences for each spot on the globe will be.

It could be a relatively cheap, effective and quick way to cool the planet by mimicking the natural effects on climate of large volcanic eruptions, but scientists concede there could be dramatic and dangerous side effects that they don't know about.

Governments profess to agree with this limit, saying, in effect: «We seek no larger carbon budget, no higher temperature, no wider war on climate.»

All in all we can imagine the Earth's climate took a pounding, with temperatures rising multiple degrees *, precipitation patterns changing over an already large [thus dry] continent, acidification and anoxia increasing in the oceans — and that this must have had large effects on the terrestrial biosphere too.

By examining the spatial pattern of both types of climate variation, the scientists found that the anthropogenic global warming signal was relatively spatially uniform over the tropical oceans and thus would not have a large effect on the atmospheric circulation, whereas the PDO shift in the 1990s consisted of warming in the tropical west Pacific and cooling in the subtropical and east tropical Pacific, which would enhance the existing sea surface temperature difference and thus intensify the circulation.
