Myanmar Metals CEO and Chairman, John Lamb, said: «Bawdwin is considered to be in a very unique position in that it may be the only «Tier 1» -

A campaign about education in the northeastern U.S. targeting a specific elected official may
not hold my attention with content that calls out a particular politician by name (they're
not MY rep, after all), but if the content also contains stats that I find relevant to education discussions where I live, then suddenly even a
regional campaign can be relevant
on a national
scale.
According to Laepple: «We are in the middle of an experiment that we can
not reverse, but which we still don't understand well enough to make clear statements at the

But these days, with many scientists are focused
on tracking greenhouse gases produced by human activities at national,
regional and local
scales, the current monitoring network doesn't measure up.
Water research needs to get down to the management
scale; for basic research that means they need to
scale up and for global research that means they need to
scale down, because we need to get to a
scale where things are relevant to people and to management — the
regional, national and global scenarios of this initiative will help with this if they concentrate
on not just sticking to the global
scale, but really getting down to the people.»
The views seem mildly skeptical, but
not outrageous for someone focusing
on monthly anomalies
on a
regional scale, and who is clearly very interested in various «cycles.»
Many studies have now been published, and many more presented at national scientific meetings,
on methane emissions using techniques which capture the emissions at
regional scales and do
not require industry permission to sample.
But since we seem to have determined that global mean temperatures do tend to track global mean forcings, the interesting science is now in determining the
regional scale at which we can still make useful statements — and whether a forcing is «first order» or
not will depend quite crucially
on what the
scale is.
Most models are much too coarse to predict trends
on regional scale (and certainly can't predict extreme events), thus there is no clear answer to your question.
That it is possible to construct a metric that doesn't show
regional warming in a certain roughly specified region
on a certain unspecified time
scale with a certain unspecified statistical technique in no way contradicts the assertion that the balance of observational evidence shows unusual recent global warming, in first order agreement with theoretical, computational, and paleoclimate evidence.
Even though
on a
regional scale it appears that
not much occurred, there were some interesting precipitation rankings at isolated locations.
The SAB finds that the EPA did
not support quantitatively its conclusion about lack of evidence for widespread, systemic impacts of hydraulic fracturing
on drinking water resources, and did
not clearly describe the system (s) of interest (e.g., groundwater, surface water), the
scale of impacts (i.e., local or
regional), nor the definitions of «systemic» and «widespread.»
Global and
regional climate models have
not demonstrated skill at predicting
regional and local climate change and variability
on multi-decadal time
scales.
Climate models are also used
on regional scales in attempts to figure out way climate models don't perform well
on regional scales.

On sub-global
scales the answer is
not so pessimistic, since the only way to get specific knowledge about
regional and local
scales is to self - consistently simulate the climate system at these
scales.
A common theme in the debate is that since models can
not make accurate predictions
on regional and decadal
scales, then they can
not make accurate predictions
on global or century
scales.
Part of this is a resolution issue, but the more important issue is the modes of natural internal variability, which the climate models do a so - so job
on in a large -
scale sense, but
not in translating the impacts to a
regional level.
I would
not dispute 100 - 300 year oscillations as a possibility, but my reading of the climate records reveals no evidence for a significant role for such oscillations — or at least, no role substantial enough
on a global
scale to have created a discernible signal outside of changes occasioned by solar variations, volcanism, and other known entities (changes
on a
regional scale are a very different matter and may have involved such oscillations).
On the one hand you say «I don't know how to assess skill of decadal trends» and on the other hand you also claim that the «prediction of mean temperature at the regional scale can be done fairly well given the robust temperature trend»

They clearly have
not «proved» skill at predicting in a hindcast mode, changes in climate statistics
on the
regional scale, and even in terms of the global average surface temperature trend, in recent years they have overstated the positive trend.
If they continue to mislead, however, without quantifying their level of skill at predicting changes in
regional climate statistics
on multi-decadal time
scales, they are
not being honest to the impact and policy communities.
It is
not the pure prediction of the (
regional) trends that is aimed for (type 4), but the occurrence of certain (relevant) weather types conditioned
on an assumed change in the large
scale forcing.
«The reality of urban warming
on local and small
regional scales is
not questioed by this work; it is the impact of urban warming
on estimates of global and large
regional trends that is shown to be small.»
However, there is
not yet consensus
on the best approach to estimate the drift correction at global and at
regional scales.
On the paleoclimate reconstructions, I think perhaps that the focus on global reconstructions as to whether the entire globe was warmer of cooler in the past isn't particularly relevant and more focus should be place on regional scale reconstruction

I don't regard the flightpath stabilization policy strategy as being of much use, especially
on time
scales out to 5 hours, which is the more relevant time frame for most
regional carriers.
In view of the multiple modes and periods of internal variability in the ocean, it is likely that we have
not detected the full
scale of internal variability effects
on regional and global sea level change.
AR4 WGI discusses extreme weather mostly in the context of model «projections» (which are often contradictory
on regional scale and therefore are «more likely than
not» better used as toilet paper:) Despite the title of their report, WGI says little «The Physical Science Basis» of extreme weather.
It doesn't seem surprising to me that GCM simulations don't give useful decadal predictions
on regional scale (or at least they are just beginning to get to the point where decadal
scale predictions have useful skill IIRC).
Unfortunately, the 2007 Intergovernmental Panel
on Climate Change (IPCC) assessment did
not sufficiently acknowledge the importance of these other human climate forcings in altering
