During the Little Ice Age phase 1 (LIA 1 — AD 1400 — 1620), the abundant occurrences of wetland plant (Cyperaceae) and diatom frustules imply less flood events
under stable climate conditions in this period.
The results for such a test on monthly absolute minimum / maximum temperatures in the Nordic countries and monthly mean temperatures worldwide are inconsistent with what we would see
under a stable climate.

So in order to constrain the
climate sensitivity from the paleo - data, we need to find a period
under which our restricted subsystem is
stable — i.e. all the boundary conditions are relatively constant, and the
climate itself is
stable over a long enough period that we can assume that the radiation is pretty much balanced.
The vulnerability map considers the relationship of two factors: how intact an ecosystem is, and how
stable it's going to be
under predictions of future
climate change.

How would the court trying Oxfam's fictional case
under «international law» (whatever they think that is) determine and make a distinction between «natural» and anthropogenic shifts in
climate, resulting in the injured party's loss of a «right» to a

Shifting
climates under external forcing, if they follow the general behaviors of other complex systems with Chaos, don't generally form
stable states during the perturbation, and especially if the perturbation itself is irregular.
