Of course, summer
temperatures when the warming portion of the wobble
cycle peaked roughly 7,500 years ago were at least 0.8 degrees Celsius warmer than 20th - century average
temperatures.
But the conditions that determine fluctuations within that
cycle are complex: Summer
temperatures have to be warm enough long enough for fireflies to emerge, but
peak emergence can be delayed by up to 2 weeks depending on whether conditions are too wet or too dry.
The team of Ueli Schibler, professor emeritus at the Department of Molecular Biology of the UNIGE Faculty of Science, discovered some years ago that
temperature cycles drive the rhythmic production of a protein called CIRBP, whose quantity
peaks in the morning when the body
temperature is at its lowest.
This article published on Space.com does show the 1500 year solar
cycle does indeed affect world wide weather and with the last mini-ice age just 600 years ago it would seem logical that we are getting nearer to a warming
temperature peak and thus world wide avgerage atmospheric
temperature that is quoted so often «Should Be Rising» now and for the next 100 to 300 years.
When AGW is added to the BNO (R)
cycle, the length of lag to
peak temperatures increases significantly to more than a decade and potentially doubling, while the length of lag of minimum
temperatures behind minimum forcing decreases significantly, potentially halving.
Some of us have been observing the AMO effect for years, noting the almost perfect coincidence between a plot of the
peaks of the «apparent» AMO
cycle, as reflected in the Southern Hemisphere
temperature peaks circa 1880,1940, and 2000 and the steady rise in concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere.
If the slower cooling phase is still evident (as there is more CO2 in the atmosphere during the
peak of the warm
cycle which should keep
temperatures warmer for longer) then this should constitute empirical evidence for CO2's effects on the climate.
All that is required is to take, as a working hypothesis the fairly small and reasonable step of accepting that the recent
peak was also a
peak in the 1000 year
cycle This periodicity seen in seen in the
temperature proxy and ice core data data in Figs 3 and 4 in the last post at http://climatesense-norpag.blogspot.com This post also contains a forecast of the timing and extent of the coming cooling.
The smallness of that variation from
peak to trough of a single
cycle has caused considerable doubt as to how significant changes in the air
temperatures could occur at time scales of up to a century but the net energy delivery effect of a change of length does not appear to have been properly investigated.
With weather averaged out, with solar
cycles averaged out, with ice ages and Milankovitch
cycles averaged out, in geologic time, galactic cosmic ray flux * is * the driver of the great ice ages and hothouse periods in the Phanerozoic, with something of a 6C or 7C
peak to
peak temperature swing of * equatorial * ocean
temperatures (from my eyeball measurement of a Veizer chart).
Thirty years is far too short to encompass a
cycle for the Arctic sea ice where the major
cycle is at least 70 years — the best
cycle context for this I have found is represented in the State of the Arctic Report or the work of Igor Polyarkov at IARC Fairbanks — looking at Surface Air
Temperature trends for the whole Arctic — 60 - 90N, for the century you can see two
peaks in 1940 and 2005 with a trough in the mid-80s (if anyone can tell me how to copy in a jpg I could put one in here!).
We have just reached the
peak of the ~ 60 year
cycle, which is why
temperatures have stabilized.
After
cycle 22 ended in the late 1990s, average global
temperatures peaked in the late 1990s with the El Nino then, and, relative to such, have been flat to declining through now when looked at through satellite
temperature data which is not heavily skewed / fudged (http://www.woodfortrees.org/plot/rss/from:1998/plot/rss/from:1998/trend).
Considering how deep the solar minimum was in 2008 - 2009, and how low total solar irradiance went compared to where it was in 1998, given that the average global
temperature changes from
peak to trough in a normal solar
cycle from the changes in TSI can be of the order as high as.2 degrees centigrade, and also given that we were nearer the
peak of the solar
cycle in 1998 than we were in the 2009 - 2010 El Nino, I should think that it is more than reasonable to suspect that the difference in impact of the TSI on global between 1998's and 2009 - 2010 is easily on the order of.1 C, or roughly ten times your.01 C figure.
The second hottest ocean
peak was 1877, which in conjunction with the fairly hot solar
cycle number 11
peak accounts for the high
temperatures around 1880.
(Quick reminder: The delay of one sunspot
cycle in the ND theory overcomes the objection that because TSI and so on
peaked around 1986 and surface
temperatures kept rising to about 1997, the Sun can not be driving
temperature.
Is it realistic for a Jupiter / Saturn
cycle to have an effect on the Earth's average
temperature with an
peak - to - trough amplitude of 0.24 °C?
Several times between 1500 and 1900, the L&S model is anti-phase with both reconstructions, with the
peak of the 60 year
cycle matching a trough in
temperature.
If all that CO2 does is to marginally raise global
temperature over the period of a natural solar driven warming and cooling
cycle then there is nothing to fear because the mitigating effect in cool periods will outweigh any discomfort from the aggravating effect at and around the
peak of the warm periods.
Estimates of the difference in
temperatures between the
peak (high point) and trough (low point) of the solar
cycle range between about 0.05 C to 0.1 C, holding everything else equal.
Atmospheric CO2 has indeed not been higher than prior
peaks of the Milankovitch
cycles until after 1945: http://climate.nasa.gov/evidence — which has nothing to do with the correlation and causal relationship between rising CO2 and
temperature.
The other end of the bar would warm up too but its thermometer would show a
temperature peak that's slightly out of phase with the positive part of the
cycle and it would show smaller magnitude swings in
temperature.
RSS trends showing the millennial
cycle temperature peak at about 2003 (14) Figure 4 illustrates the working hypothesis that for this RSS time series the
peak of the Millennial
cycle, a very important «golden spike», can be designated at 2003.
Fig. 12 compares the IPCC forecast with the Akasofu (31) forecast (red harmonic) and with the simple and most reasonable working hypothesis of this paper (green line) that the «Golden Spike»
temperature peak at about 2003 is the most recent
peak in the millennial
cycle.
So the «strength» of the water
cycle would, with increasing surface
temperature, continue to increase beyond the point where total convection from the surface
peaks.
Fig. 12 shows that the well documented 60 - year
temperature cycle coincidentally also
peaks at about 2003.
Data related to the solar climate driver is discussed and the solar
cycle 22 low in the neutron count (high solar activity) in 1991 is identified as a solar activity millennial
peak and correlated with the millennial
peak - inversion point — in the RSS
temperature trend in about 2003.
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.
