Sun and Volcanic Eruptions Pace North Atlantic Climate Swings
Science Daily ^ | Sep. 14, 2010 | Unattributed (I wonder why)

Posted on 09/14/2010 1:23:06 PM PDT by Ben Mugged

A study presented in Nature Geoscience suggests that changes in solar intensity and volcanic eruptions act as a metronome for temperature variations in the North Atlantic climate.

A research team from the Bjerknes Centre for Climate Research in Bergen, Norway, has studied the climate in the North Atlantic region over the past 600 years using the Bergen Climate Model and the observed temperature evolution. They point to changes in the solar intensity and explosive volcanic eruptions as important causes for climate variations in the North Atlantic during this period.

Love the ending sentence about CO2 “...needing to be included...” ‘cuz otherwise their models don’t match observations.

Perhaps.

But, perhaps not.

I’ll bet on the latter.

The study also shows that the observed warming in the North Atlantic during the 20th century cannot be explained by the solar and volcanic activity alone.

Burps emitted by deep sea carp also contribute to warming.

When the scientists include actual changes in the solar forcing and the climate effect of volcanic eruptions in their model, they find a strong causal link between these external factors and variations in the Atlantic surface temperature.

Well, golllleeee, Gomer - who would've thunk that variations in solar intensity would lead to variations in surface temperature?

That's freakin' RADICAL !!!

Yeah...like the 400 year mini ice age between 1350 and 1750 due to the low number of sunspots.

see: http://sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov/sunspots/

for todays single spot.

Far more CO2 and CH4 is emitted by ocean life than all land-based life combined. The ocean is a valuable resource in this aspect.

So what? All this means is that the Bushrovecheney disaster machine is even more powerful and evil, now that it’s been upgraded to the Palinbecklimbaugh doomsday machine! </envirowhacko>

My mistake, I meant far more photosynthesis goes on under the ocean (i.e. carbon intake) than all land-based plants combined.

Solar activity has been low to very low for many months.

Cool. Now I won’t feel guilty about driving my F-150 and F-250 trucks. (As if I did before.)

Norway is a big exporter of oil, so this is just the evil fossil fuel industry speaking again. /s

Besides, those Nordics want the world to get warmer, because the last time it did, back around AD 1000, the Vikings were able to go raping, pillaging, plundering, and conquering all over the northern hemisphere.

They need that clause for funding reasons.

Not to mention farm cattle in Greenland during the early Mideval times.

Right. People don't seem to realize that we live in an interglacial epoch. Cattle survive in large parts of the U.S. today only because people stockpile hay to feed them through the winter.

The Norse were an agricultural people. Had they adopted the hunter-gatherer culture of their Inuit neighbors, they might have survived the Little Ice Age.
