Uh oh: New peer-reviewed paper: "Our findings contradict the view that a warming world will automatically be one of more overall climatic variation."

No increase in global temperature variability despite changing regional patterns : Nature : Nature Publishing Group
Evidence from Greenland ice cores shows that year-to-year temperature variability was probably higher in some past cold periods...Many climate models predict that total variability will ultimately decrease under high greenhouse gas concentrations, possibly associated with reductions in sea-ice cover. Our findings contradict the view that a warming world will automatically be one of more overall climatic variation.
