* Duke University study looked at 1,000 years of temperature records
* It compared it to the most severe emissions scenarios by the IPCC
* Found that natural variability can slow or speed the rate of warming
* These 'climate wiggles' were not properly accounted for in IPCC report
Global warming hasn't happened as fast as expected, according to a new study based on 1,000 years of temperature records.
The research claims that natural variability in surface temperatures over the course of a decade can account for increases and dips in warming rates.
But it adds that these so-called 'climate wiggles' could also, in the future, cause our planet to warm up much faster than anticipated.
The study compared its results to the most severe emissions scenarios outlined by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
'Based on our analysis, a middle-of-the-road warming scenario is more likely, at least for now,' said Patrick Brown, a doctoral student in climatology at Duke University. 'But this could change.'
The Duke-led study says that variability is caused by interactions between the ocean and atmosphere, and other natural factors.
They claim these 'wiggles' can slow or speed the rate of warming from decade to decade, and exaggerate or offset the effects of increases in greenhouse gas concentrations.
If not properly explained and accounted for, they may skew the reliability of climate models and lead to over-interpretation of short-term temperature trends.

“The Climate Models Are Wrong”
Try telling that to the brilliant, intellectual, psychotic Progressives in the Democrat party. (Their income would be placed in jeopardy for generations and they would react in their visceral, out-of-control, obnoxious manner in an instant.)
IMHO
God bless the daily Mail people.
It’s a damn shame that the closest thing we have to actual journalism comes from across the pond.
Well, it is easy to see the problem. This is not a model but is based on facts, no good can come from using real facts and records.
Does anyone here think that this will change one single position held as religious belief by the envirowhackos?
They will just denigrate, denounce, vilify, scream and rant about the findings and go right on spewing their twisted lies based on models, not facts.
Nothing to see here, just move along...baaaaaaaa
Global warming like gun control has always bee about power and control not about facts.
If the “climate models” were right, they could be initialized to the conditions of 1915, and then produce a 100-year forecast which matches the historical record of the last century.
If they could do that, they would have and would be screaming it from the rooftops.
They haven’t done it because they can’t do it, and the fact that they can’t do it proves the models are crap.
God's version of climate change.
OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a ball of fire that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?
Teacher ... that question was too easy ... (sigh) ... The less-than specks, in congress, plan to control the Sun by taxing the people of Earth. T'will not help anything but congress will have more ... money.
It’s because of climate change. Or Bush.
Tell that to this guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tE6_LVWCywM
“Global warming like gun control has always been about power and control not about facts.”
You forgot money, the grease that runs the psychotic frame of mind of every Progressive.
