The climatic change at issue is known as the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation (AMO), a
periodic cycle of
warming and cooling of surface temperatures in the North Atlantic.
Scientists have already warned once this year that a
periodic cycle of
warming and cooling in the Pacific could increase in frequency.
Coby, if the earth is
warming as a result of increased
periodic solar activity (or some other more complex reason) as suggested by the long term
cycles mentioned above measured before man was on earth or industrialized, is it posssible that the observed increases in CO2 in the atmosphere are simply coming from
warmer oceans, since liquids can not hold as much gas at a higher temperature than they can at lower temperature?
I see this record and, like Girma, am hit in the face by the cyclical nature, with the
periodic warming and cooling
cycles with an apparent half -
cycle time of ~ 30 years and an amplitude of around + / -0.25 degC, all on a tilted axis with a slope of 0.6 to 0.7 deg C per century.
If we take an epicyclic
periodic leap of faith an assume the hypothesis that this 1470 year
cycle is a significant driver of present day
warming, and align it with the Medieval
warm period, we get temperatures rising from ~ 800 BC to a
warm peak at ~ 468 BC — a little early for the Roman
warm period.
