Sentences with phrase «specific changes in forcings»

But if the data repeatedly showed proportional changes in climate associated with specific changes in forcings — which I believe is what the data do show — then it seems to me that a reasonable inference can be drawn.

It's painfully easy to paint oneself logically into a corner by arguing that either (i) vigorous natural variability caused 20th century climate change, but the climate is insensitive to radiative forcing by greenhouse gases; or (ii) the climate is very sensitive to greenhouse gases, but we still are able to attribute details of inter-decadal wiggles in the global mean temperature to a specific forcing cause.

As to the specific papers you cited, Miller et al 2006 states,» Recent changes in the magnitude of the annular patterns have been interpreted as the signature of anthropogenic forcing by changes in the concentration of greenhouse gases (GHGs) or else stratospheric ozone [Shindell et al., 1999; Fyfe et al., 1999; Kushner et al., 2001; Kindem and Christiansen, 2001; Sexton, 2001; Gillett and Thompson, 2003; Shindell and Schmidt, 2004; Arblaster and Meehl, 2006].»

Since natural climate variability and CO2 forcing are at work simultaneously it becomes difficult to assign specific percentages of any observed change in conditions to any single cause.

Again a given force and magnitude changes of that force have to be taken into account with the entire spectrum of items that are exerting an influence on the climate at that given time, along with the state of the climate at that given time in order to get a sense of what impact that specific force may or may not exert on the climate.

Separating the effects of natural climate modes and anthropogenic forcing, however, remains a challenge and requires identification of the imprint of specific climate modes in observed sea level change patterns.
