House Hears About Climate | Bill Chameides

My argument with Judy is less of substance than of emphasis. We agree on this as I think almost any climate scientist would: there is still a lot to learn about the climate system and our ability to predict the future course of the climate is limited.

Fourier Analysis reveals six natural cycles driving temperatures, no man-made effect: predicts cooling « JoNova

Lüdecke, Hempelmann, and Weiss found that the temperature variation can be explained with six superimposed natural cycles. With only six cycles they can closely recreate the 240 year central European thermometer record. There is little “non-cyclical” signal left, suggesting that CO2 has a minor or insignificant effect.

April 2013 In Germany Comes In At 0.1°C Colder Than The 1981 – 2010 Longterm Mean

because March was far below normal, the 2013 MAM spring period so far is much cooler than normal.

THE HOCKEY SCHTICK: New paper finds another amplification mechanism by which the Sun controls climate

A paper published today in the Journal of Climate finds tiny variations in solar activity over 11-year solar cycles have greatly amplified effects upon climate via changes in the Arctic Oscillation, North Pacific sea surface temperatures & sea level pressure, and via changes in stratospheric ozone from solar UV. The authors find the Arctic Oscillation evolves from a negative mode a few years before solar maximums to a positive mode at and following solar maximums. The IPCC claims the tiny variations in solar activity during solar cycles cannot affect climate, but this paper and many others demonstrate solar activity has greatly amplified effects upon climate via ocean oscillations, atmospheric oscillations such as the Madden-Julian oscillation and Quasi-biennial oscillation, stratospheric ozone, and sunshine hours/clouds.
