To the surprise
of everyone who knew about the strong

of a hockey stick.
In contrast, there was

little evidence that mosquito populations in these areas were responding to changes in temperature or precipitation.
One thing that struck me, however, was that although the
evidence of climate change is overwhelming in «Chasing Ice,» there's very
little about slowing or stopping the planet from warming.
The assessment examines the following content; global warming, the greenhouse effect / gases, natural and human causes

of tropical storms and the effects and response to tropical storms.
Assuming that changes in the flux
of GCRs do affect weather and / or
climate — and as far as I can tell, there's
little if any
evidence that it does — you still have the problem
of explaining why & how changes in the flux can have affected the
climate for the last 50 years or so when the flux hasn't changed in that period.
The
climate science community needs to communicate effectively that sea level rise is likely to continue, but that the rise by the year 2100 is almost certain to be below two metres and that there is currently very
little evidence to suggest that increases at the top
of this range are likely.
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

Additionally, there is
little evidence that the rate
of conversion
of cloud water to rain actually changes with temperature, although Mauritsen and Stevens show that incorporating the iris into the model does improve the model's simulations
of some aspects
of the
climate system (even though it doesn't change
climate sensitivity much).
He starts to address this question in his post, but dribbles off and shifts the focus to a couple
of surveys that show people deeply care about global warming — even when there's abundant
evidence that much
of public attitude on
climate is, as I've been saying, the equivalent
of water sloshing in a shallow pan — lots
of fluctuations,
little depth or commitment (particularly when money is involved).
I am trying to make the point that what
little evidence we have indicates that the real value
of total
climate sensitivity is indistinguishable from zero.

And the climategate revelations about «esteemed»
climate scientists were
of little importance to Gareth in comparison to the surly attitudes
of skeptics in the weighing
of the so called
evidence.
We present here
evidence from fire and tree - ring chronologies that the post - «
Little Ice Age»
climate change has profoundly decreased the frequency
of fires in the northwestern Québec boreal forest.
Regardless
of one's opinions on the degree to which
climate change is occurring, there is compelling
evidence that policies like those resulting from the Paris agreement will have
little impact on global temperatures.
That
evidence now shows us that we face a stark choice, between a future with a
little more
climate change that we will still have to adapt to and cope with, and one with catastrophic
climate change that will threaten the future
of life as we know it.
Though the paper's findings are not controversial — few serious scientists dispute the
evidence of the temperature datasets showing that there has been
little if any global warming for nearly 19 years — they represent a tremendous blow to the
climate alarmist «consensus», which has long sought to deny the «Pause's» existence.
As for the alleged extraterrestrial warming, there is extremely
little evidence of a global
climate change on Mars.
If we have real - world
evidence that temperatures were warmer than today during most
of the past 10,000 years (and also during several interglacial warm periods during the past few million years), and if we also have real - world
evidence that human civilization thrived during these warmer temperatures and the warmer temperatures did not trigger so - called «tipping points» sending the planet into a
climate catastrophe, then we have very
little reason to believe that our presently and moderately warming temperatures are now poised to send the planet into a
climate catastrophe.
The activists say our influence on
climate is evident in «altered rainfall patterns,» but in this they are at odds with their fellow - activists at the ill - fated Intergovernmental Panel, whose special report on extreme weather (2012) and whose fifth and most recent (2013) Assessment Report on the
climate question find
little or no
evidence of a link between our industries and enterprises on the one hand and global rainfall patterns on the other.
The question is how much, if it is only a
little there is nothing to discuss, so when you say «driver
of climate» you must mean a major driver
of climate and that there is very
little solid
evidence for, on the contrary, see e.g. http://www.leif.org/EOS/2011GL046658.pdf and http://www.leif.org/EOS/Foukal-2012.pdf
But if you mean by «global warming» all the crap about renewable energy and sealevel rise and «acidification» and the end
of civilsation as we know it and 50 million
climate refugees and the end
of glaciers by 2035 and hockey sticks and «unprecedented» and drowning polies and the whole tranche
of wacko ideas that have got attached to the simple climatical observation that its a bit warmer than it was in 1912, then I'm very very sceptical and there are is very
little reliable
evidence for any
of it.
Here is an example
of what I'm getting at: *
Climate change is a myth or conspiracy - The temperature record is phony - the consensus is just politics * Climate change is unproven - The models are wrong - One hundred years isn't enough evidence * It's not our fault - Volcano's emit way more CO2 - It could be natural variation * A warmer climate is nothing to worry about - It was warmer in the middle ages - A warmer climate is a good thing * Mitigation will destroy the economy - We don't know enough to act - Reducing fossil fuel will destroy us * It's too late or someone else's problem - Kyoto is too little too late - The US absorbs more CO2 than it emits This is very rough example, but if you think it is headed in the right direction, I'd be happy to go through your guide in more detail and come up with something concrete - just give me th

the dirty
little secret is that there is still no way to test the IPCC
climate models for their feedback behavior,... The very fact that the 20 +
climate models the IPCC tracks still span just as wide a range
of feedbacks as
climate models did 20 years ago is
evidence by itself that the
climate community still can't demonstrate what the real cloud feedbacks in the
climate system are....
It's a bit cheap, given that there's no
evidence or even likelihood, that actual
climate scientists are responsible for this hoax, to say that jumping to very firm conclusions on very
little evidence, and indeed fraudulently improving the
evidence that doesn't quite show what you want it to, are characteristic
of one side
of this debate rather than the other.
The concept
of a
little ice age is in itself contentious, with sceptics
of human - caused global warming citing it as
evidence climate goes through natural cycles.
Even if we accept the questionable assumption that meteorite clusters give information on CRF variations, we find that the
evidence for a link between CRF and
climate amounts to
little more than a similarity in the average periods
of the CRF variations and a heavily smoothed temperature reconstruction.
However, there is very
little evidence in the most recent reporting in the US press on Sandy and
climate change that other grave failures
of the American media to cover
climate change will be remedied.
As a result, the study would provide
little evidence that historical period observational estimates
of ECS have been biased low in relation to effective
climate sensitivity.
«Observational
evidence does not support today's computer
climate models, so there is
little reason to trust model predictions
of the future.»
The MPs found
little evidence of coordination among government, government agencies and public bodies on communicating
climate science, despite various policies at national and regional level to mitigate and adapt to
climate change.
«There is some
evidence of changes consistent with mid-winter warming and
little evidence of changes in the fall,» he said, «but questions
of the broader impact, the cause
of this trend, and whether the warmer
climate in New England is linked to global
climate change are beyond the scope
of these studies.»
I wonder why there has been so
little research effort — during 30 years
of climate alarmism — to actually get the primary
evidence needed to support the alarmists» beliefs.
Thus, there appears to be
little evidence for insisting that changes in concentrations
of CO2 are the cause
of past temperature and
climate change.
Yet strong
evidence about the dangers
of human - made
climate change have so far had
little effect.
Though it's true that
climate alarmists, including Gore, the Prince
of Wales, and sweary chanteuse Charlotte Church, have sought to blame the Syrian crisis on drought induced by «
climate change», there is
little evidence for this.
And
of perhaps even greater import (because it is a real - world observation), he reports that «although the globe is significantly warmer than it was a century ago, there is
little evidence that
climate change has already favored infectious diseases.»
Dismissing the risks
of global warming as «baseless and undisguised propaganda,» a John Birch Society blogger has pronounced that
evidence for
climate change is «shoddy,» and that, on the basis
of Bjorn Lomborg's (thoroughly discredited) analysis, «a
little warming wouldn't be such a bad thing after all.»
There's very
little evidence at all
of low
climate sensitivity.
The
evidence of the size
of climate zone shifts and the associated changes in atmospheric heights from Mediaeval Warm Period to
Little Ice Age to date suggests that the natural solar and ocean induced changes in the effective radiating height are far greater than anything that could be achieved by human emissions.
I was baffled — why would
little versions
of me (for I was a physics undergraduate over two decades ago) not accept manmade
climate change when it was backed by overwhelming
evidence and endorsed by the vast majority
of climate experts, Nobel Laureates and even David Attenborough?
Although there are many guidelines for
climate communication, there is
little empirical
evidence of their efficacy, whether for dispassionately explaining the science or for persuading people to act in more sustainable ways.
Within a few years, after his unprincipled, unsupported and unscientific attacks on
climate «sceptics», my opinion had changed, to what it is now, that he's the very model
of an unthinking and ill - informed
little s ** t. Presenting «
evidence» that you haven't checked out yourself is both irresponsible and unscientific, as is accepting «current thinking» or some form
of consensus without questioning it in any way.
After all, this rise in temperature is less than the average daily temperature difference between New York City and Atlanta, Georgia, or between Paris and Naples, and there is
little evidence of greater risk to people who now live in the warmer southern
climate.
As he and others over half a century unravelled the roles
of ice ages and oceans in changing the
climate, they found
evidence that in the past,
climate had shifted abruptly in as
