1. Marc Morano – Peer-Reviewed Study Rocks Climate Debate! ‘Nature not man responsible for recent global warming…little or none of late 20th century warming and cooling can be attributed to humans’ – Climate Depot 22/07/2009 – http://www.climatedepot.com/a/2117/PeerReviewed-Study-Rocks-Climate-Debate-Nature-not-man-responsible-for-recent-global-warminglittle-or-none-of-late-20th-century-warming-and-cooling-can-be-attributed-to-humans
   “The research, by Chris de Freitas, a climate scientist at the University of Auckland in New Zealand, John McLean (Melbourne) and Bob Carter (James Cook University), finds that the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is a key indicator of global atmospheric temperatures seven months later. As an additional influence, intermittent volcanic activity injects cooling aerosols into the atmosphere and produces significant cooling.”

   “The results showed that [Southern Oscillation Index] accounted for 81% of the variance in tropospheric temperature anomalies in the tropics. Overall the results suggest that the Southern Oscillation exercises a consistently dominant influence on mean global temperature, with a maximum effect in the tropics, except for periods when equatorial volcanism causes ad hoc cooling. That mean global tropospheric temperature has for the last 50 years fallen and risen in close accord with the SOI of 5–7 months earlier shows the potential of natural forcing mechanisms to account for most of the temperature variation.”

   “Both my point (focusing on the tortured logic) and Tamino’s (focusing on an obvious and demonstrable weakness of the tortured logic) are made very effectively in a brief comment on the RealClimate article by Ron Taylor which I quote here in its entirety. For most purposes this is all you really need to know about the new paper, Influence of the Southern Oscillation on tropospheric temperature, (McLean, de Freitas and Carter).”

   “The reason for the celebratory tone in denialist web posts (Grima Wormtongue is especially excited) is the extreme correlation claimed between SOI and tropospheric temperature.”

   “A typical response to the cooling assertion is that the global warming conditions that occurred in 1998 were due in part to the very strong El Niño event of 1997/98, and subsequent years have been as warm or nearly as warm from much less emphatic El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) conditions … Removing the ENSO-related inter-annual variability by means of linear regression against the SOI provides more evidence against the cooling assertion. Of the three global time series explored, the HadCRUT3 time series is the most ambivalent when ENSO-adjusted, and even that one has 2006 as the warmest (adjusted) year. In the GISS data set, ENSO-adjustment results in a stark warming over the past 40 years. Nationally, 2005 remains Australia’s warmest year whether or not the ENSO signal is removed.”

   “Our results indicate that natural variations internal to the Earth’s climate system have had a relatively small impact on the low frequency variations in global mean land temperature. It is therefore extremely unlikely that the recent trajectory of terrestrial warming can be overwhelmed (and become colder than normal) as a consequence of natural variability.”
7. John Cook – Did global warming stop in 1998? – Skeptical Science 21/12/2007 – http://www.skepticalscience.com/global-warming-stopped-in-1998.htm
   “The planet has continued to accumulate heat since 1998 – global warming is still happening. Nevertheless, surface temperatures show much internal variability due to heat exchange between the ocean and atmosphere. 1998 was an unusually hot year due to a strong El Niño.”

   “We argue that the abrupt temperature drop of 0.3 ºC in 1945 is the apparent result of uncorrected instrumental biases in the sea surface temperature record.Corrections for the discontinuity are expected to alter the character of mid-twentieth century temperature variability but not estimates of the century long trend in global-mean temperatures.”

Levitus et al (2009) – Global ocean heat content 1955–2008 in light of recently revealed instrumentation problems – Geophysical Research Letters 36, L07608, doi:10.1029/2008GL037155 – 11/04/2009 – National Oceanographic Data Center – 6 authors – http://www.agu.org/pubs/crossref/2009/2008GL037155.shtml
   “We provide estimates of the warming of the world ocean for 1955–2008 based on historical data not previously available, additional modern data, correcting for instrumental biases of bathythermograph data, and correcting or excluding some Argo float data. The strong interdecadal variability of global ocean heat content reported previously by us is reduced in magnitude but the linear trend in ocean heat content remains similar to our earlier estimate.”

    “The original and Edition2 ERBE/ERBS Nonscanner WFOV data contain small systematic errors that can affect the interpretation of decadal changes. Specifically, ERBS altitude slowly dropped from 611 km to 585 km over the 15-year period. This introduces a 0.6% correction to the decadal changes reported in a previous study. This altitude correction has been used to produce an updated ERBS Nonscanner WFOV Edition3 dataset.”
