It is revealed that the vibratory gravitational sliding of glaciers to the sea is registered due to the tidal
fluctuations along
with many
climate processes.
The Met Office says it doesn't expect temperature records to be broken every year, but «the current situation shows how global warming can combine
with smaller, natural
fluctuations to push our
climate to levels of warmth which are unprecedented in the data records».
The real concern lies
with increase of both carbon dioxide emissions and temperature that can not be predicted using the models of past
climate fluctuations and patterns.
This spectral similarity together
with phase correlation indicates a possible teleconnection of century - scale global
climate fluctuations through common solar forcing.
In 1994, Christy and another UAH scientist, Richard McNider, attempted to remove «natural»
climate change from the satellite data by backing out El Niño / La Niña
fluctuations and the cooling associated
with two big volcanoes in 1983 and 1991.
For example, Brown and Caldeira (2017) use
fluctuations in Earth's top - of - the - atmosphere (TOA) energy budget and their correlation
with the response of
climate models to increases in GHG concentrations to infer that ECS lies between 3 and 4.2 K
with 50 % probability, and most likely is 3.7 K. Assuming t statistics, this roughly corresponds to an ECS range that in IPCC parlance is considered likely (66 % probability) between 2.8 and 4.5 K. By contrast, Cox et al. (2018) use
fluctuations of the global - mean temperature and their correlation
with the response of
climate models to increases in GHG concentrations to infer that ECS likely lies between 2.2 and 3.4 K, and most likely is 2.8 K.
Our present warm period has been relatively mellow for the last 8,000 years,
with fewer
fluctuations than any other similar period in the
climate record.
The notion of temperature
fluctuation and associated manifestations such as sea level changes together
with changes in sea ice and glaciers, needs to underpin any narrative about historic
climate.
It's also interesting to note that
climate scientists have known for at least three decades that short - term
fluctuations in temperature (e.g., those associated
with the ENSO cycle) are correlated
with short - term
fluctuations in the rate of increase of atmospheric CO2 (Bacastow and Keeling 1981).
The supposed stable configuration of geography,
with relatively predictable
climate patterns, coastlines and icepacks in familiar locations, and clear demarcations of territorial control on land are increasingly dubious assumptions as weather patterns change, sea levels rise and ice packs disintegrate while technological innovations, communications and global markets cause rapid
fluctuations in the price in food and other essentials across boundaries.
That trend actually had little to do
with greenhouse effects but seems to have been simply a natural
fluctuation of the
climate, a recovery from the preceding «Little Ice Age.»
It would appear that all but one of these longer - term natural
fluctuations can be erased
with a 65 - year filter, as shown by the blue curve in the following plot of 65 - year
climate against CO2 forcing defined as log2 (CO2 / 280.
Nevertheless, these rates concern times
with much greater ice volume than today, and
with intense global
climate fluctuations.
In conclusion, our analysis suggests that strong interannual and decadal variations observed in the average land surface temperature records represent a true
climate phenomenon, not only during the years when
fluctuations on the timescale of 2 - 15 years had been previously identified
with El Nino events.
That may have to do
with continents - scale
climate fluctuations superimposed on the underlying worldwide warming trend.
«The authors write that «the El Niño - Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is a naturally occurring
fluctuation,» whereby «on a timescale of two to seven years, the eastern equatorial Pacific
climate varies between anomalously cold (La Niña) and warm (El Niño) conditions,» and that «these swings in temperature are accompanied by changes in the structure of the subsurface ocean, variability in the strength of the equatorial easterly trade winds, shifts in the position of atmospheric convection, and global teleconnection patterns associated
with these changes that lead to variations in rainfall and weather patterns in many parts of the world,» which end up affecting «ecosystems, agriculture, freshwater supplies, hurricanes and other severe weather events worldwide.»»
Other evidence [which I will present in future articles] seems to indicate that these same
climate models are NOT realistically simulating such factors as atmospheric water vapour, clouds, solar energy
fluctuations and cosmic ray effects, Earth's changing geomagnetic field, and Earth's interior heat
with consequent surface heat variations.
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?
The natural variations consist mainly of short term
fluctuations (less than a decade) due to ENSO and other chaotic elements, plus longer term
climate «oscillations» — mainly the AMO and PDO,
with total «cycle» lengths in the neighborhood of about 60 years.
A study published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences May 11 provides evidence for the prevalent hypothesis that these
fluctuations are linked
with climate shifts that result in changes in seed production in these species» boreal forest habitat in northern Canada.
Otherwise, I'm going to remain more concerned
with golf course irrigation in Phoenix than CO2 as the prime cause of
climate fluctuation.
The bottom line is that true bumps, dips, and flat times punctuate the
climate record, and need not be spurious in order to understand them to be
fluctuations around a longer term trend, which for the past 100 years has been upward,
with the years since 1950 well explained mainly by GHG - mediated forcing, plus a smaller contribution from other factors.
