The Pliocene is a paradox when compared to other Cenozoic
warm intervals because global mean temperatures were 2 — 3 °C warmer than present (Dowsett, 2007), despite levels of atmospheric CO2 that were only slightly higher than preindustrial levels (Fedorov et al., 2006).
«We're suggesting that's not even the case, and that it's one of these hyper -
warm intervals because the bird's food sources and the whole part of the ecosystem could not have survived in ice.»

The Paleogene is an interesting time to study
because global climate changed dramatically during that
interval — including an abrupt
warming event around 55 million years ago.
You will have a thorough
warm up prior to doing these
because once the
intervals start there is no looking back (unless you are jumping to face that direction, ha).
Thus one might expect larger hurricanes to extend the
interval between hurricanes over the patches of ocean that spawn them,
because they don't spawn until the sea surface
warms sufficiently again.
If, on the other hand, the differences between station means and station offsets show large variance
because different stations have
warmed differently between baseline and observation
intervals, then the last term will greatly increase the estimated data variance.
The answer, Izen, is of course that when Obama held his «5 to 10 years global
warming acceleration» speech, he had not the faintest idea that 5 years is a totally irrelevant
interval when talking about decades long climate trends; and he doesn't have the faintest idea about that
because he wouldn't know a physical unit if it crawled up his nose and died there.A trend over 5 years is not much better than noise, and detecting an ACCELERATION with such a noisy trend is entirely impossible.
This is
because oceans occupy about 70 percent of the global surface and their
warming and cooling averaged over long
intervals dominates the record.
Now, it doesn't matter how you select / constrain over the hindcast
interval, the range of forecast
warming still has no supremum
because even if B is bounded, d is unbounded due to being a gaussian.
