There will undoubtedly also be a number of claims made that aren't true; 2008 is not the coolest year this decade (that was 2000), global warming hasn't «stopped», CO2 continues to be a greenhouse gas, and such variability is indeed predicted by climate models.
Increased variability and unpredictability of conditions year to year, likely in a dissipative system being pushed out of its current basin of metastability, could make things very difficult for farmers worldwide.

However if we have a similar profile of volume loss as in the preceding two years then random variability looks very unlikely and I'll be veering to the following viewpoint — that something new and radical has happened in the seasonal cycle of sea - ice loss, a new factor that in principle could have the power to make a virtually sea ice free state in September plausible this decade.
The time average makes sense only if you are sure to have caught all variability time - scale in the average (i.e., that they are all smaller than 30 years, say)-- I've never seen clearly where this assumption comes from, apart from computer simulations, which are NOT reliable for this kind of physics.

Either «something» caused that and, not being man - made GHGs or (obviously) sulphate aerosols, it would be quite safe to call it a natural phenomenon Well, if you insist on looking at individual years and * not * smoothing the data at all, then given that interannual variability can quite easily be.15 oC, we can take.3 oC away as it is meaningless chaos and not indicative of a trend.

Data over 140 years is insufficient to make over broad claims about natural variability and it would require a leap of imagination to use this data in and of itself to draw conclusions about cause and effect.
Claims made by sceptics that the effects of the current ENO as it enters a negative episode, since last year, yielded temperature anomalies much lower than in recent years (in fact, very much average at near zero), have been waved away by alarmists claiming that they are the result of «natural variability».
Numerous attempts have been made over the years to link various aspects of solar variability to changes in the Earth's climate.
In response to claims made by Bob Carter that the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change had not uncovered evidence that global warming was caused by human activity, a former CSIRO climate scientist stated that Bob Carter was not a credible source on climate change and that «if he [Carter] has any evidence that [global warming over the past 100 years] is a natural variability he should publish through the peer review process.»
Listening to the Radio 4 feedback on the Met Office 5 - year forecast makes it clear that even the Met Office don't trust a 5 - year forecast because of natural variability (it is called experimental), and this one does not change their view of climate warming in the longer term.
However, on timescales below 17 years, we have to admit natural variability is going to make climate trend detection too uncertain to be worth discussing, until we get past the 17th year, and preferably 30 years or more.
«on timescales below 17 years, we have to admit natural variability is going to make climate trend detection too uncertain to be worth discussing, until we get past the 17th year, and preferably 30 years or more.»
Dr. Richard Muller's Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature Study (BEST) made headlines when he announced his acceptance of what climate scientists had already been saying for over 15 years — yes, people are responsible for unnatural climate variability that scientists have documented — and surprised the country by becoming an advocate for solutions to global warming.
We probably won't have a good idea of the range of natural variability of a few years, then we can find out if «sensitivity: really makes any sense as it is currently defined.
For example, in the report Assessing an IPCC Assessment (PBL, 2010a), PBL states ``... the [IPCC] authors made plausible that, due to current climate variability, the yields in Algeria, Morocco and Tunisia have been varying annually, including yield reductions of nearly 70 % in individual years, in the period between 2000 and 2006.»
While the statistics of 30 - year (or longer) NAO trends and associated surface climate impacts can not be reliably determined from the short observational record, we have made use of a simple relationship between the statistics of trends of any length and the statistics of the interannual variability, provided the time series is Gaussian (Thompson et al. 2015).
Then there's the problem of quantifying the variability of natural processes we know we don't understand because the estimates of various factors keep changing every year... you have to rule these things out to make sensible emissions policy, you can't just wave your hands and say «there's no evidence we're wrong so go ahead and spend trillions of dollars based on this speculation over here.»
The point I want to make (and I made this point point in the Uncertainty Monster paper) is globally, the modeled spectral density of the variability, when compared with observations, is too high for periods of ~ 8 - 17 years, and too low for periods of 40 - 70 years.
-- Warming trend of +0.16 °C / decade observed over [1910 — 1940] and [1970 — 2000] periods [c] A 60 years averaging also makes PDO variability disappear so that only background trend of +0.06 °C / decade, as observed since 1880, remains.
It seems that every new climate scenario making the media over the past 20 years they always describe a warm future on a multidecadal scale ignoring a cool future as if variability didn't exist, but isn't scientific climatology primarily concerned with longer millenia time scales of a thousand years or more?

The reason I used a 5 - year smooth on the first graph is that using monthly or annual data makes the difference between adjusted and raw data too difficult to see due to monthly and annual variability in temperatures.
The same jumping to (wrong) conclusions was made by others, comparing temperature trends with the variability of the year by year increase of CO2: these have a quite good correlation, as there is a short term response of CO2 increase speed to temperature changes, but a only a small influence of temperature on the CO2 trend itself.
manacker, you can probably appreciate that comparing one year with the next makes no sense for a trend because of the variability on that scale.

The bicentennial trend lines clearly diverge from the past 30 or 50 or hundred years, and the most closely fitting explanation for this behavior is anthropogenic causes shifting the trends leaving only a shadow of natural variability superimposed on the sharp centennial scale rise, at about an order of magnitude smaller amplitude than the changes associated with GHGs and dampened by man - made aerosols.
