Schwartz, a shark biologist with the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, says there's too much natural variability in weather cycles to blame the recent shark attacks on global warming, George H.

According to David Anfam, «The key point is that Still grappled at firsthand with precisely those natural cycles — of the weather and land, involving growth, strife, and dissolution — that since time immemorial have always been grist to the mill of fable.»

Although a significant natural influence on interannual weather, the temperature effects of the cycle smooth out over years and decades, and aren't linked to the overall warming trend.

Due to this semi-random nature of weather, it is wrong to blame any one event such as Katrina specifically on global warming — and of course it is just as indefensible to blame Katrina on a long - term natural cycle in the climate.

Visible changes in hydrological cycle have been observed in the form of changing precipitation patterns, cropping patterns, droughts, water availability periods, frequency and intensity of heatwaves, precipitation events and weather - induced natural disasters.

Changes in weather patterns, the eruption of volcanos, changes in ultraviolet output of the sun linked to the 10 - 11 year solar cycle and other natural phenomena can, like CFCs, inhibit the production of ozone.»

Climate Change Position of the Saint Louis Zoo: «Scientific consensus holds that climate change is interrupting natural cycles, causing habitat loss and prompting more extreme weather patterns.

«There are many natural cycles that rely on severe weather and the precipitation it brings,» said Qinghong Zhang, professor of atmospheric and oceanic sciences, Peking University, lead author of the study, who conducted this research while on sabbatical at Penn State.

Causes of natural variability include forcings that are external to the climate system (e.g., volcanic eruptions and aerosols and the 11 - year sunspot cycle) and internal fluctuations (weather phenomena, monsoons, El Niño / La Niña, and decadal cycles).

But it was always at a rate that could easily be accommodated by natural feedback processes if CO2 levels got too high — usually in the form of increased rock weathering through an acceleration of the hydrological cycle.

The natural acceleration of the the hydrological cycle that occurs when CO2 levels rise, increases rock weathering and is the key to the negative feedback that eventually pulls the atmospheric CO2 levels back down.

There's been a lengthy debate in the comments threads of recent posts about whether the dry weather in much of Australia in recent years can be attributed to climate change, or is just another round in the natural cycle.

Climate engineering programs are completely disrupting natural weather and climate cycles all over the world, destroying the ozone layer, and decreasing the overall hydrological cycle (which, in turn, fuels record drought and firestorms).

However, despite all that, the weather systems combined with the hydrological cycle and the global air circulation guided by the sea surface temperatures do provide reasonable overall stability for eons at a time by neutralising many potentially disruptive natural and biologically induced variables affecting air temperature.

Natural historical climate cycles also interact with our weather.

Because weather patterns vary, causing temperatures to be higher or lower than average from time to time due to factors like ocean processes, cloud variability, volcanic activity, and other natural cycles, scientists take a longer - term view in order to consider all of the year - to - year changes.

Obviously other very powerful factors play huge roles, such as natural oceanic cycles and weather patterns over all Arctic atmospheric layers.

Milankovitch cycles are part of a natural process that affects both weather and climate The concept of external forcings is mostly incorrect
