Perhaps this is why there are long term warm / cold climatic cycles, rather than runaway heat or cold.

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.

Honestly, anybody who claims that «there has been global cooling or that global warming has halted since 2000 (or whatever)» really does not understand climatic trends nor the difference between a long - term underlying trend vs. short - term fluctuations which have a larger magnitude (in both directions) than the trend.

We now may be dealing with a broken system due to the conjunction of this years extraordinary weather superimposed on longer term climatic oscillation and a CO2 driven warming arctic.

There is no empirical evidence which confirms that long term, large scale climatic warming is the result of human activity.

This [Holocene Climatic Optimum] is a somewhat outdated term used to refer to a sub-interval of the Holocene period from 5000 - 7000 years ago during which it was once thought that the earth was warmer than today.

His hypothesis is that «long - term variations in the amount of solar energy reaching the Earth are the main and principal reasons driving and defining the whole mechanism of climatic changes from the global warmings to the Little Ice Ages to the big glacial periods», not carbon dioxide.

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.»

Climate change is the long - term average of a region's weather events lumped together.There are some effects of greenhouse gases and global warming: melting of ice caps, rising sea levels, change in climatic patterns, spread diseases, economic consequences, increased droughts and heat waves.

The Google book archive shows very little use of the terms «global warming» and «climate change» in books until the mid 1980s («climatic change» does appear, pretty steadily, through the entire 20th century).

And although «global warming» seems to have first appeared in a 1957 newspaper editorial, the term is widely attributed to Wallace Broecker's 1975 paper «Climatic Change: Are We on the Brink of a Pronounced Global Warming?warming» seems to have first appeared in a 1957 newspaper editorial, the term is widely attributed to Wallace Broecker's 1975 paper «Climatic Change: Are We on the Brink of a Pronounced Global Warming?Warming?»

Superimposed on the long - term trends are occasional global warming spikes, «hyperthermals», most prominently the Palaeocene — Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) at approximately 56 Myr BP [12] and the Mid-Eocene Climatic Optimum at approximately 42 Myr BP [13], coincident with large temporary increases of atmospheric CO2.

Independent investigations of past climate change in the basin over the long - term period of record confirm that most of these changes in lake level were responses to climatically driven changes in water balance, including lake - level highstands commonly associated with cooler climatic conditions and lows with warm climate periods.

In some cases, «climate change» has been used synonymously with the term «global warming»; scientists, however, tend to use the term in a wider sense inclusive of natural changes in climate, including climatic cooling.

In terms of greenhouse agents, the main conclusions from the WGI FAR Policymakers Summary are still valid today: (1) «emissions resulting from human activities are substantially increasing the atmospheric concentrations of the greenhouse gases: CO2, CH4, CFCs, N2O»; (2) «some gases are potentially more effective (at greenhouse warming)»; (3) feedbacks between the carbon cycle, ecosystems and atmospheric greenhouse gases in a warmer world will affect CO2 abundances; and (4) GWPs provide a metric for comparing the climatic impact of different greenhouse gases, one that integrates both the radiative influence and biogeochemical cycles.

Current climatic warming simply does not accord with the trends, neither in terms of direction or (especially) amplitude.
