The stadium wave holds promise in putting into perspective numerous observations of
climate behavior, such as regional patterns of decadal
variability in drought
and hurricane activity, the researchers say, but a complete
understanding of past
climate variability and projections of future

climate forcing from the sun, volcanoes
and anthropogenic forcing.

I'll make an assertion in response to your assertion: if we don't «we
understand what governs natural
variability,» it seems we have exactly one of two choices: (1) proceed on the assumption that it will continue to operate within roughly the same bounds as it has in the past, or (2) throw up our hands
and make no attempt to project how
climate will
change over time.
A critical question for
climate mitigation
and adaptation is to
understand when
and where the signal of
changes to
climate extremes have persistently emerged or will emerge from the background noise of
climate variability.
(1) advance
understanding of
climate variability and change at the global, national, regional,
and local levels;
It seems clear you are not
understanding «On Forced Temperature
Changes, Internal
Variability and the AMO»
and its regional nature compared to Wyatt's NH tele - connected
climate system hypothesis.
These activities can be grouped under the following areas: improve our knowledge of Earth's past
and present
climate variability and change; improve our
understanding of natural
and human forces of
climate change; improve our capability to model
and predict future conditions
and impacts; assess the Nation's vulnerability to current
and anticipated impacts of
climate change;
and improve the Nation's ability to respond to
climate change by providing
climate information
and decision support tools that are useful to policy makers
and the general public.»
Maintaining these measurements in an operational environment provides the best opportunity for maintaining the long - term, consistent,
