«The climatic forcings resulting from such solar — terrestrial links may have had a significant impact on climate prior to the onset of anthropogenic warming».

Thomas Lee Elifritz (# 70), you quote the authors: «The climatic forcings resulting from such solar — terrestrial links may have had a significant impact on climate prior to the onset of anthropogenic warming».

Since the onset of the Northern Hemisphere glaciation (~ 2.7 million years ago), Earth's climate has undergone large transitions between cold «glacial» and warm «interglacial» (e.g., present - day) stages.

The reality is, Greenland was named Green to attract settlers and regional climate at the time was very similar to today, perhaps even a little warmer and life for the Vikings there was a perpetual struggle until a confluence of conditions left them vulnerable to a few severe winters in a row at the onset of a regional cooling.

The models heavily relied upon by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) had not projected this multidecadal stasis in «global warming»; nor (until trained ex post facto) the fall in TS from 1940 - 1975; nor 50 years» cooling in Antarctica (Doran et al., 2002) and the Arctic (Soon, 2005); nor the absence of ocean warming since 2003 (Lyman et al., 2006; Gouretski & Koltermann, 2007); nor the onset, duration, or intensity of the Madden - Julian intraseasonal oscillation, the Quasi-Biennial Oscillation in the tropical stratosphere, El Nino / La Nina oscillations, the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation, or the Pacific Decadal Oscillation that has recently transited from its warming to its cooling phase (oceanic oscillations which, on their own, may account for all of the observed warmings and coolings over the past half - century: Tsoniset al., 2007); nor the magnitude nor duration of multi-century events such as the Mediaeval Warm Period or the Little Ice Age; nor the cessation since 2000 of the previously - observed growth in atmospheric methane concentration (IPCC, 2007); nor the active 2004 hurricane season; nor the inactive subsequent seasons; nor the UK flooding of 2007 (the Met Office had forecast a summer of prolonged droughts only six weeks previously); nor the solar Grand Maximum of the past 70 years, during which the Sun was more active, for longer, than at almost any similar period in the past 11,400 years (Hathaway, 2004; Solankiet al., 2005); nor the consequent surface «global warming» on Mars, Jupiter, Neptune's largest moon, and even distant Pluto; nor the eerily - continuing 2006 solar minimum; nor the consequent, precipitate decline of ~ 0.8 °C in TS from January 2007 to May 2008 that has canceled out almost all of the observed warming of the 20th century.

With the use of a climate model of intermediate complexity, we demonstrate that with mwp - 1A originating from the Antarctic Ice Sheet, consistent with recent sea - level fingerprinting inferences, the strength of North Atlantic Deep Water (NADW) formation increases, thereby warming the North Atlantic region and providing an explanation for the onset of the Bølling - Allerød warm interval.

The later onset of climate change - fueled heat waves across the Great Plains is found to be a result of the projected increase of the Great Plain low - level jet and moisture transport, attenuating the surface warming associated with climate change.
