The Great Pacific Climate Shift

Interesting piece here.

The summary:
Though recent studies have rediscovered natural variability in the Pacific and attributed the changes to global warming, we have shown how these are simply changes resulting from multidecadal oscillations that have repeated for many decades and likely centuries. In addition we showed how these cycles correlate extremely well with temperatures in the United States and the arctic. These cycles likely also are responsible for the recent decline in arctic ice as was previously observed in the 1930s and 1940s when arctic temperatures last peaked.
