A slew of emails stolen from the University of East Anglia's Climatic Research Unit highlight definite character flaws among some climate scientists — including an embarrassing attempt to delete emails that discussed the most recent report from the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change — while also exposing what looks like a failure of scientists to acknowledge a halt to global warming in the past decade.
Since individual clouds have a life time of hours, and the CRF - interpretation involves changes in the reflected light as well as ionisation, a climatic response from change in CRF is hypothetically almost instantaneous, and it is a challenge to explain why the night side (where there is no sunlight and hence reflection can not play a role) warms more strongly than the dayside, if the CRF were to drive the recent warming trend.
In a recent article in Climatic Change, D.G. Martinson and W.C. Pitman III discuss a new hypothesis explaining how the climate could change abruptly between ice ages and inter-glacial (warm) periods.
I've been criticized by some environmentalists in recent years for writing that the long - term picture (more CO2 = warmer world = less ice = higher seas and lots of climatic and ecological changes) is the only aspect of human - caused global warming that is solidly established, and that efforts to link dramatic weather - related events to the human influence on climate could backfire should nature wiggle the other way for awhile.

«The GRIP borehole inversion is therefore the only data set suggesting significantly higher temperatures during the MCA than during the 1950s, lending further support to the speculation that the quite low accumulation rate at the GRIP drill site did hamper the inversion of this recent short - lived climatic warming.»
Now, adding to this miserably low warming influence of CO2 is the recent admission by establishment climate science that natural climatic forces have a powerful say in the trend of global temperatures, regardless of human CO2 emissions.
Li et al., 2017 (DOI: 10.1016 / j.quascirev.2017.01.009): «Additionally, increased El Nino - Southern Oscillation (ENSO) strength (possibly El Ni ~ no - like phases) during drying periods, increased volcanic eruptions and the resulting aerosol load during cooling periods, as well as high volumes of greenhouse gases such as CO2 and CH4 during the recent warming periods, may also play a role in partly affecting the climatic variability in NC, superimposing on the overall solar dominated long - term control.»
Trying to figure out the increasing frequency of heavy precipitation over western Himalayas, the scientists said their analysis suggested that pronounced warming over the Tibetan plateau in recent decades due to elevation dependency of climatic warming signal favoured enhancement of meridianal temperature gradients.

Recent research has focussed on exposing the dynamics of carbon cycling across rapid climatic warming events within the Eocene extreme «greenhouse», where he has offered an alternative explanation for their genesis compared to prevailing views that invoked repeated releases of carbon from buried sedimentary reservoirs.
In a recent article in Climatic Change, D.G. Martinson and W.C. Pitman III discuss a new hypothesis explaining how the climate could change abruptly between ice ages and inter-glacial (warm) periods.
A pattern emerging from recent paleoclimatologic studies suggests that the climatic effects of eccentricity, precession, and axial tilt have been amplified during cool phases of the Cenozoic, whereas they have been dampened during warm phases.
