In the latter (admittedly somewhat unusual) choice of baseline, the fraction of last July's temperature anomaly that is attributable to global warming is tiny, since most of the anomaly is perfectly natural and due to the seasonal cycle!

The variable A may represent a characteristic of the climate system (humidity, winds,...) or may characterize natural variations (e.g., in the seasonal cycle, or from year to year).

Third, the ice core data how conclusively that, during natural climate cycling, changes in temperature precede changes in carbon dioxide by an average 800 years or so (Fischer et al, 1999; Indermuhle et al, 2000; Mudelsee, 2001; Caillon et al, 2003); similarly, temperature change precedes carbon dioxide change, in this case by five months, during annual seasonal cycling (Kuo, Lindberg and Thomson, 1990).

Despite seasonal changes in the price of natural gas, summer peaks in electric use will continue to be served by natural gas «peaker» units, as well as new flexible natural gas combined cycle units.

Nicholas, the natural variability after a full seasonal cycle is only + / - 1 ppmv around the trend over the past 55 years, which is recently over 2 ppmv / year net increase with human emissions of around 4.5 ppmv / year.

«Supermarkets have almost completely isolated the consumer from the natural food production cycle,» Now families are learning why foods are seasonal and are excited by each new arrival.

Indeed, the way in which climatic forcing is expressed in natural systems is not universal, with both spatial (local, regional and latitudinal) and temporal (periodic pulses and seasonal cycles) variations in pH and temperature that are sufficient to affect the direction (positive through to negative) and severity of effect depending on timing and context [110].

Thus while the accumulation in CO2 mass is only 2 % of the inflows, the seasonal inflow is a part of a cycle and the total natural cycle shows a net loss of about 3.5 GtC / yr.

In making their seasonal outlook, which was released on May 23, NOAA cited a broad area of above - average sea surface temperatures in the North Atlantic Basin, a continuation of a natural cycle of above - average hurricane activity, and a lack of an El Niño event in the Pacific Ocean as reasons why there may be more storms this year.

They used several simple indices, including the land - ocean contrast, the meridional gradient, and the magnitude of the seasonal cycle, to describe global climate variations and showed that for natural variations, they contain information independent of the global mean temperature.
