It is, however, the variability on large scales influenced by interactions of the atmosphere with other components of the climate system that is predictable.

Other nonradiative forcings modify the biological components of the climate system by changing the fluxes of trace gases and heat between vegetation, soils, and the atmosphere and by modifying the amount and types of vegetation.

In other words, they fail the most basic type of test imaginable; and in the words of Li et al., this finding suggests that «global climate models should better integrate the biological, chemical, and physical components of the earth system.»

A further unknown is exactly how the exchange of heat and gases between the atmosphere and other components of the climate system takes place.

The new report further states that greenhouse gas emissions at or above current rates would induce changes in the oceans, ice caps, glaciers, the biosphere, and other components of the climate system.

Given the increased levels of certainty regarding human - induced global warming (from 90 to 95 %), more robust projections on sea - level rise and data on melting of ice sheets, and the «carbon budget» for staying below the 2 °C target, the WGI conclusions together with other AR5 component reports are likely to put more pressure on the UNFCCC parties to deliver by 2015 an ambitious agreement that is capable of preventing dangerous anthropogenic interference with the climate system.

Requires such group, within a year and every four years thereafter, to submit to Congress a report that: identifies gaps in data and recommends actions to fill those gaps; proposes a coordinated strategy for funding and allocating responsibilities among federal agencies for climate and other global change data collection, management, and retention; recommends a federal capital investment strategy; and evaluates optimal design of observation system components to ensure a cost - effective, adequate set of observations detecting and tracking global change.

It is for this reason that the scenario framework distinguishes between «pathways,» which describe one component (such as RCPs or SSPs) of integrated scenarios, and «scenarios» themselves, which combine pathways with other information such as emissions, climate projections and policy assumptions to produce integrated descriptions of future climate and human system development.

The intent of downscaling is to achieve accurate, higher spatial resolution of weather and other components of the climate system than is achievable with the coarser spatial resolution global model.

And, even tho we may safely assume you are referring to radiative energy transport in the Earth's atmosphere, the interactions of that energy with all other components of the Earth's climate system are the critically important aspects.

Water vapor and clouds, on the other hand, are highly active components of the climate system that re-spond rapidly to changes in temperature and air pressure by evaporating, condensing, and precip - itating.»

Given the complexities of the climate system, I would say the chance of any single component of that system having a long term warming impact all by itself, in a manner that effectively negates all other components, is highly unlikely — especially when that one component makes up a bare.04 % of just one of the subsystems making up the overall climate system, and further, when human burning of fossil fuels contributes a mere 3 - 4 % of that.04 %.

And Nic and Lewis just said: «Heat uptake by other components of the climate system is ignored»

If observed warming is attributed to CO2 and there are other, unknown, components of the climate system, the parameterisation will be incorrect.

However there is lots to play for in the individual components of the climate system and for that reason I am loth to criticise the work of any other climate sceptics.

Since the late 1970s, other data from Earth - observation satellites have been used to provide a wide range of global observations of various components of the climate system.

Following the trend in global modelling, RCMs are increasingly coupled interactively with other components of the climate system, such as regional ocean and sea ice (e.g., Bailey and Lynch 2000; Döscher et al., 2002; Rinke et al., 2003; Bailey et al., 2004; Meier et al., 2004; Sasaki et al., 2006a), hydrology, and with interactive vegetation (Gao and Yu, 1998; Xue et al., 2000).
