Climate Change

[Alan V]

We barely understand ocean oscillations, except that they cause droughts and floods and have a profound effect on ocean surface temperatures.

I checked a few sites.  One had 197 great responses to climate change deniers.  I'm sure not going to bother anyone with 197 claims and rebuttals.  But I don't want to let this silliness go without response.  If I pick the best 10, Aractus will focus on the other claims.  What should I do?

The site is HERE.

It's a great list, BTW...

The warming caused by increased CO2 in the atmosphere can be masked by natural variability by as long as a decade or more, which is why long-term tracking of weather is so important in detecting climate change. For instance, a recent apparent pause in the upward trend of global warming temperatures was caused by a combination of volcanic activity, a short-term reduction in solar output due to the natural solar cycle, and a series of La Niña events. The background “noise” of natural variability must be taken into account to clearly see the steady “signal” of incrementally increasing temperatures. This is why natural variability was still considered a possible explanation for observed changes as late as the 1990s.
