Not exact matches

Paleoclimatology is the study of climate change taken on the scale of the entire history of the earth.

For example, I am patiently waiting for someone at the Guardian to address the serious misrepresentations of Oxburgh and Muir Russell made by Steve McIntyre at last week's panel discussions in the U.K. (Not to mention McIntyre's characterization of paleoclimatology as little more than «phrenology» or his inability to answer a simple question about attribution of current warming — and don't get me started on Fred Pearce).

Paleoclimatology estimates are based on analyses of ice cores and other paleo indicators that are used to estimate temperature changes and forcing changes.

Paleoclimatology gives some limits on how frequent have major variations been, but interpreting the time series is certainly very difficult — more difficult than the well known controversial studies assumed.

The paleoclimatology community seems to be tightly coupled as indicated by our social network analysis, has rallied around the [Mann] position, and has issued an extensive series of alternative assessments most of which appear to support the conclusions of MBH98 / 99... Our findings from this analysis suggest that authors in the area of paleoclimate studies are closely connected and thus «independent studies» may not be as independent as they might appear on the surface.

Even though their work has a very significant statistical component, based on their literature citations, there is no evidence that Dr. Mann or any of the other authors in paleoclimatology studies have significant interactions with mainstream statisticians.»

I deal with the spin on a daily basis, while personally I have made my own investigations into what people refer to as climate science and compare it to other, less politicized scientific inquiries into paloeoceanography, paleogeology, paleoclimatology, and of course the science related to our current ice age and what pulls us into periods of glaciation and what impacts trigger interglatial warming periods.

Whilst I defer to your expertise in paleoclimatology I'm nowhere near as convinced by your arguments as far as negative impacts on the ecosystem are concerned.

The latest massive effort in paleoclimatology is the PAGES 2k project which has produced a global temperature reconstruction for the past two millennia - check out my article on it here: http://thinkprogress.org/climate/2013/07/08/2261531/most-comprehensive-paleoclimate-reconstruction-confirms-hockey-stick/ Their results look identical to the original «hockey stick» reconstruction of 1999.

The story really starts with my first piece on the Wegman report just over a year ago, which noted unmistakable copying of unattributed antecedent sources in background sections on tree ring proxies (taken from Bradley's text book Paleoclimatology: Reconstructing Climates of the Quaternary) and on social networks (identifying Wikipedia, as well as and Wasserman and Faust as obvious sources).

In most cases, these range from about 2 to 4.5 C per doubled CO2 within the context of our current climate — with a most likely value between 2 and 3 C. On the other hand, chapter 9 describes attempts ranging far back into paleoclimatology to relate forcings to temperature change, sometimes directly (with all the attendant uncertainties), and more often by adjusting model parameters to determine the climate sensitivity ranges that allow the models to best simulate data from the past — e.g., the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM).

Let's just say that your blithe dismissal of multi-proxy paleoclimatology appears to be based on ignorance of the actual science.

Paleoclimatology has its transitions too, but those were on such a different time scale as to make their coefficients of disequilibrium essentially irrelevant to the current transition.
