Secondly, the argument that the climate should have naturally «rebounded» with warming during the 20th century defies the actual peer - reviewed scientific studies which, as discussed earlier, suggest that the climate should have actually cooled during the 20th century, not warmed, if natural factors were primarily at play.

Global temperature has in recent years increased more slowly than before, but this is within the normal natural variability that always exists, and also within the range of predictions by climate models — even despite some cool forcing factors such as the deep solar minimum not included in the models.

SCIENTIFIC UNDERSTANDING of these OTHER FACTORS â MOST NOTABLY NATURAL climatic variations, changes in the sun's energy, and the cooling effects of pollutant aerosols â REMAINS INCOMPLETE.»

The warming occurred in both the ocean and the atmosphere and took place at a time when natural external forcing factors would likely have produced cooling.

These analyses indicate that it is likely that greenhouse gases alone would have caused more than the observed warming over the last 50 years of the 20th century, with some warming offset by cooling from natural and other anthropogenic factors, notably aerosols, which have a very short residence time in the atmosphere relative to that of well - mixed greenhouse gases (Schwartz, 1993).

For forecasts of the timing and extent of the coming cooling based on the natural solar activity cycles — most importantly the millennial cycle — and using the neutron count and 10Be record as the most useful proxy for solar activity check my blogpost linked above, The most important factor in climate forecasting is where earth is in regard to the quasi - millennial natural solar activity cycle which has a period in the 960 — 1020 year range.For evidence of this cycle see Figs 5 - 9.

And thirty years later, there is vigorous debate over the magnitude of both natural and anthropogenic factors, and how opposite effects of the latter (SO2 cooling versus CO2 warming) net out.

The holocene has cooled very slowly and natural factors alone would have us still on the same very slow trajectory.

I wish to highlight an earlier comment I made...» Climate is influenced by dozens of natural factors, which are like dozens of teeter - totters lined up, where down on the right = cooling, and down on the left = warming.

The Earth has gone through many shifts in cooling and warming driven by natural factors like the sun's energy or variations in its orbit, but the trend scientists have seen over the past 50 years is unmistakable.

«In fact, as NASA's Dr Gavin Schmidt has pointed out, the IPCC's implied best guess was that humans were responsible for around 110 % of observed warming (ranging from 72 % to 146 %), with natural factors in isolation leading to a slight cooling over the past 50 years.»

The last decade hasn't been cooling btw, though a slower upward trend or even standstill in the trend (of one would deem it meaningful over such a short timeframe) is of course helped by the dampening effect of natural factors having a cooling effect, offsetting some of the warming effect of GHG.

The scientific pivot to cooling confirms what many have thought and said over the last few decades: human CO2 emissions do have a warming influence on global temperatures but, with that said, it is a minor factor that is easily overwhelmed by both solar / cosmic and natural earthly forces.

Anyway with El Niño fading away and possibly a new El Nina with other natural cooing factors coming in to play there is a good chance of another decade or more of «Pausing» or cooling in global temperatures which is itself a stupid concept as it cools and heats in different places of the planet dependent on the local climate conditions an average is meaningless — you really need to dream up some more dire alarmist nonsense to keep your show on the road.

The only difference is that the attribution will be 90 % towards clouds and water vapour and since humans are in no way responsible for these factors AGW will be just about natural global warming which ended over a decade ago and replaced by the global cooling which started in 2002 and will likely continue nuntil at least the end of solar cycle 25 around 2032

When the human factors are removed, these models show that solar and volcanic activity would have tended to slightly cool the earth, and other natural variations are too small to explain the amount of warming.

It's true that until recently, global warming (and cooling) has been caused by natural factors.

And, finally, it will tend to validate your hypothesis that our planet's temperature moves in 30 - year warming / cooling cycles on a slightly tilted axis, as a result primarily of natural forcing factors and variability, the mechanisms for which we still do not fully understand today.

The last decade (2001 - 2010) has been the hottest ever on record for surface temperatures, overpowering natural factors exerting a cooling influence.

The anthropogenic contribution is not necessarily bounded at 100 %, since natural factors could in theory have contributed a cooling effect.

But, but but... weren't natural factors causing the earth to cool and hide all the nasty AGW warming!

steven: «natural warming 120 % anthropogenic warming 110 % all cooling factors combined 130 %» Let's crank up the sensitivity: natural warming 120 % anthropogenic warming 330 % all cooling factors combined 450 % If we unleash anthropogenic warming, looks like we have to unleash cooling factors as well.

If in general natural trends were, all else equal, causing the overwhelming majority of heating and GHG a minority, but some temporary identified factor caused cooling, this strange inummerate way of speaking would allow you to say more than 50 % of the observed warming is caused by GHG.

However, the warming effect of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide will grow sufficiently to overcome the combined impact of various natural climate cooling factors, journalists on a telephone news conference were told last week by Gavin Schmidt, director of NASA's Goddard Institute of Space Studies.

«However, the warming effect of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide will grow sufficiently to overcome the combined impact of various natural climate cooling factors»

Natural factors could have caused warming or cooling.

I'll try to respond in more detail later, but I'd like to note that the anthropogenic contribution is not necessarily bounded at 100 %, since natural factors could in theory have contributed a cooling effect (also in a period of net warming; that does not negate the cooling argument).

Bart Verheggen: I'll try to respond in more detail later, but I'd like to note that the anthropogenic contribution is not necessarily bounded at 100 %, since natural factors could in theory have contributed a cooling effect (also in a period of net warming; that does not negate the cooling argument).

Imagine that natural factors would have caused a cooling of 0.1 degrees C since pre-industrial times (which is not at all implausible), then to achieve closure with the observed warming of 1.0 degrees, anthropogenic factors should have contributed 1.1 degrees, or 110 % of the observed warming.

And the best estimate from the body of peer - reviewed climate science research is that humans are responsible for more than 100 % of the global surface warming since 1950, with natural factors probably offsetting a little bit of that with a slight cooling influence.

My estimate is that between ~ 80 % to 120 % of the observed trend in recent decades is human - forced — i.e. which allows for 0.1 to 0.2 degC / dec either way for internal variability — natural forcings are a slight cooling factor on these timescales so that would imply a higher attribution to human causes.

joeygoze - Because natural forcings have over time declined; in the absence of anthropogenic factors the Earth would have cooled over the last century.

Better yet if natural conditions are the controlling factor of water vapor concentrations in the atmosphere at all levels of the atmosphere this would also put AGW theory in deep trouble, especially if the climate should cool (which I think it may) due to prolonged minimum solar conditions.

Anyway, keep up the revelations, we can now add Greenpeace inspired polemic to WWF reports, misquoting of effects, glaciers melting not, sea rising fast not, warming, if any, not happening at present, bad data, bad models, poor physics and ignoring of main natural factors (Sun, orbital variations, cosmic rays via cloud cover, ocean heating and cooling cycles, volcanoes, soots, aerosols, etc)

This is now compounded by the Met Office logic of attributing the cooling after 2000 to natural variability (a.k.a. natural forcing), even though natural forcing is estimated by IPCC to have been essentially insignificant as a factor in the warming from 1750 to the end of the 20th century.
