Now, your claim about
stationarity of the «climate» in the Lorenz system is not without a merit but hinges
on the selection of the time scale.
This analysis was made
on the basis of tests of
stationarity and a VAR model.
«The equations (1), (2) and (3) represent the
stationarity requirement that particles located in certain volume with certain velocities will at a later moment be replaced by an equal number of other particles which have the same velocities when the influence of gravity
on velocity is taken into account.
The strength of the IR component is determined by laws of emission and absorption of radiation and depend strongly
on the temperatures at various levels, but the total flux is maintained at the level required by
stationarity by the convection and transport of latent energy as long as the radiation alone is not sufficient.
«Consistent with previous analyses (see e.g. Montanari, 2012; Zanchettini et al., 2008),» they write, «our trend detection analysis, which we carried out
on long historical series observed for the Po river, does not detect any evidence of a statistically significant change in the flood hazard along the Po river and supports the
stationarity of the hydrological series during the period of interest (i.e., last five decades).»
However «compelling» a particular dendro study might be (whatever «compelling» might mean), what bearing does that have
on the assumption of
stationarity across both the instrumental and pre-instrumental periods?
All of the inferences (i.e. conclusions based

on where (or whether) these breaks exist, and
