It is (virtually) impossible to prove that a single (or a small number) freak weather event (s) is (are) caused by increasing CO2, but when a large number are observed, it may be possible to spot a pattern of change — yet it is difficult to attribute such a change to a cause unless the mechanisms are understood.

I'm not the most qualified to make a judgment on their scientific work, but the two authors seem eager to attribute those measurments to an increase of solar irradiance since 1980, though no serious discussion about the other possible mechanisms (like atmospheric changes) is made in the paper.

But we know that the mechanisms responsible for the variation of Ts are different in internal variability on these time scales and in forced climate change, then my questions is that: is it possible that the spread in ECS might not be so directly caused by low - cloud feedback, although the low cloud feedback is a very good indictor for the model uncertainty?

This report discusses our current understanding of the mechanisms that link declines in Arctic sea ice cover, loss of high - latitude snow cover, changes in Arctic - region energy fluxes, atmospheric circulation patterns, and the occurrence of extreme weather events; possible implications of more severe loss of summer Arctic sea ice upon weather patterns at lower latitudes; major gaps in our understanding, and observational and / or modeling efforts that are needed to fill those gaps; and current opportunities and limitations for using Arctic sea ice predictions to assess the risk of temperature / precipitation anomalies and extreme weather events over northern continents.

Of course, it could be possible that there is some yet undiscovered mechanism that only absorbs human CO2 (otherwise it would absorb natural CO2 in the absence of our emissions) and some other mechanism that caused a great imbalance in natural sources / sinks causing the increase without a corresponding temperature changOf course, it could be possible that there is some yet undiscovered mechanism that only absorbs human CO2 (otherwise it would absorb natural CO2 in the absence of our emissions) and some other mechanism that caused a great imbalance in natural sources / sinks causing the increase without a corresponding temperature changof our emissions) and some other mechanism that caused a great imbalance in natural sources / sinks causing the increase without a corresponding temperature change.
