Gases fed into the grid are ever more diverse: natural gas and LNG from various origins, biomethane and hydrogen from Power to Gas plants result in permanently increasing in local and time - related fluctuations in gas quality.

Such a one - way transition could be much more difficult to deal with than a natural fluctuation such as a one - or two - year drought.

Natural oscillations (mainly solar) and variable non-CO2 forcing like aerosols have caused fluctuations up to + / -0.1 C about that trends so no one expects it to follow the CO2 curve more closely than to within about a tenth of a degree, but the overall rise remains 1 C (+ / -0.1 C) and the overall CO2 forcing of 2 W / m2 is consistent with that.

I would have thought that was a more reasonable view than a large coincidental natural fluctuation that somehow also more rapidly warmed the land, removed Arctic sea ice and raised ocean heat content while giving us the warmest decade on record.

Before 1980 natural variability was enough to explain rainfall fluctuations, they said, but they had detected a clear upward trend in the past few decades towards more unprecedented daily rainfall events.

None of this, of course, refutes the conclusion that the GHGs are potent climate drivers, which is solidly based in the physics, but relates more to the long term apportionment of warming between anthropogenic (and other) forcings and natural fluctuations.

Whereas earlier it was believed that man's impact on the climate was gradual, and that the situation was deteriorating in a gradual way, now — in contrast to the previous report, which was being put together seven years ago — much more information has been obtained on ocean cycles and other natural fluctuations.

Therefore, any increase in losses could, more likely than not, be partly related to anthropogenic climate change... we advance the premise that if losses are affected by natural climate fluctuations, they are also likely to be affected by additional global warming due to anthropogenic climate change.

«It is therefore more than a little strange that we are not hearing from the IPCC that some natural internal fluctuation of the system may have given rise to most of the earlier upward trend.

This «hiatus» is probably due to the cooling influences from natural radiative forcings (more volcanic eruptions and reducing output from the sun as part of the natural 11 - year solar cycle) and internal variability (fluctuations within the oceans unrelated to forcings).

Abstract «Although we conclude, as found elsewhere, that recent warming has been substantial relative to natural fluctuations of the past millennium, we also note that owing to the spatially heterogeneous nature of the MWP, and its different timing within different regions, present palaeoclimatic methodologies will likely «'' flatten out» estimates for this period relative to twentieth century warming, which expresses a more homogenous global «'' fingerprint.»
