It's looking more and more like most climate
change can be pegged to
changes in solar
output, either directly through additional warming or indirectly as decreases
in solar
output allow more cosmic rays to reach the atmosphere, causing increased cloud nucleation and therefore increasing the earth's albedo and
reflecting more solar radiation.
Contemporary climate patterns can not be explained by
changes in Earth's orbit or solar
output, although paleo - climatic patterns
reflect these factors.
«The Earth's climate system is highly nonlinear: inputs and
outputs are not proportional,
change is often episodic and abrupt, rather than slow and gradual, and multiple equilibria are the norm... there is a relatively poor understanding of the different types of nonlinearities, how they manifest under various conditions, and whether they
reflect a climate system driven by astronomical forcings, by internal feedbacks, or by a combination of both... [We] suggest a robust alternative to prediction that is based on using integrated assessments within the framework of vulnerability studies... It is imperative that the Earth's climate system research community embraces this nonlinear paradigm if we are to move forward
in the assessment of the human influence on climate.»
For example, a recent U.S. federal interagency assessment recommended a value of $ 25 per ton for 2015 (
in 2010 $) with the tax rate rising at a rate of about 2 to 3 percent per year
in real terms (roughly
reflecting growth
in world
output potentially affected by climate
change).
