Yah, it cools a bit, then it warms a bit, then it cools... as Dr Courtney reminds us, the classic averaging period to discern the long
term climate signal is thirty years and over this period all the global temperature series show a warming trend in line with that predicted by AGW.
However, it can also arise where a common, externally forced growth signal influences the more localized fit of a standardization curve, resulting in the partial, or even complete, loss of a relatively short -
term climate signal (in the case of more flexible standardization curves) and the distortion of medium - term climate trends in adjacent periods (where less flexible, but still «fitted,» standardization functions are employed).

«There is medium evidence and high agreement that long -
term trends in normalized losses have not been attributed to natural or anthropogenic
climate change... The statement about the absence of trends in impacts attributable to natural or anthropogenic
climate change holds for tropical and extratropical storms and tornados... The absence of an attributable
climate change
signal in losses also holds for flood losses.»
Well my point is that a model that is tuned to match a
climate signal only, should not track, accurately, a record that is both a
climate and weather
signal especially when we know that these medium
term effects can be quite strong, even if they cycle out in the longer
term.
I have said that if a model is set up to match a certain
signal (not just
climate) yet matches a
signal that contains an additional cyclical factor which can change that
signal significantly over the short and medium
term then you would not expect it to show great accuracy over the short to medium
term.

«What is generally required [for proving solar forcing of
climate change] is a consistent
signal over a number of cycles (either the 11 year sunspot cycle or more long
term variations), similar effects if the timeseries are split, and sufficient true degrees of freedom that the connection is significant and that it explains a non-negligible fraction of the variance.»
Permit prices, since they would be more volatile over time than a specified tax trajectory, would mask the critical long -
term signal that carbon will always be more expensive next year than it is today; that is, unavoidable volatility in permit prices would raise the economic cost of any
climate target by clouding investment decisions with another source of uncertainty.
We've got to keep our eyes on the long -
term data where the
climate signal emerges from the noise of complex, natural systems.

term change probably related to anthropogenic global warming... Our results confirm the need for quantifying and further removing from the
climate records the short -
term natural
climate variability if one wants to extract the global warming
signal.»
If Mr. Rose really wants to improve his reporting and do a general service of advancing a true understanding of the issue of anthropogenic
climate change, he needs to do a comprehensive article about Earth's energy budget, and state quite clearly all the different spheres (all layers of the atmosphere, hyrdosphere, crysosphere, and biosphere) in which the
signal of anthropogenic warming is both modeled as impacting and then talk about what is data is actually saying in
terms of Earth's energy imbalance in all these spheres.
The researches thus «urge extreme caution in attributing short -
term trends (i.e. over many decades and longer) in US tropical cyclone losses to anthropogenic
climate change,» stating that «anthropogenic
climate change
signals are unlikely to emerge in US tropical cyclone losses on timescales of less than a century under the projections examined here.»
As we discussed in Going Down the Up Escalator, Part 1, it's a very common mistake - even amongst some
climate scientists - to confuse short -
term climate noise with long -
term global warming
signal.
While the
climate change
signal is much clearer in the northern latitudes - where longer -
term records show a relatively steady retreat of Arctic sea ice - evidence of global warming's impact around Antarctica is also showing up in the observations.
Thus, future
climate trends in regions affected by the NAO are best conveyed in
terms of an expected range that incorporates both the natural variability and the forced
climate change
signal.
is actually addressing the issue by a climatic angle And yes, while considering it in
climate terms, strangely enough, the 2014 ends up as colder than any year during the LIA, with a far much higher climatic cooling
signal than any of those years then.
Isn't «long -
term» a relative
term, which in this case simply compares the oscillation length of natural fluctuations with the century - long
climate record that includes an anthropogenic warming
signal?
When constantly confronted with this myth that global warming stopped in 1998, or 2000, or 2002, or 2005, or [insert year], we wonder why distinguishing between short -

Bearing in mind their previous hubris about short -

:) I mean it in a good way here... but it's not a physics paper... it's a statistical methods paper attempting to show that any reasonable analysis of the AGW
