The Proliferation Of Non-Global Warming Graphs In Science Journals Continues Unabated In 2018

 Already 14 New (2018)

Non-Hockey Stick Papers

During 2017, there were 150 graphs from 122 scientific papers published in peer-reviewed journals that indicated modern temperatures are not unprecedented, unusual, or hockey-stick-shaped — nor do they fall outside the range of natural variability.

Less than 3 weeks into the new publication year, the explosion of non-alarming depictions of modern climate change continues.



Blarquez et al., 2018


 Magyari et al., 2018

…its climatic tolerance limits were used to infer July mean temperatures exceeding modern values by 2.8°C at this time [8200-6700 cal yr BP] (Magyari et al., 2012).


White et al., 2018

Our data, together with published work, indicate both a long-term trend in ENSO strength due to June insolation [solar] forcing and high-amplitude decadalcentennial fluctuations; both behaviors are shown in models. The best-supported mechanism for insolation-driven dampening of ENSO is weakening of the upwelling feedback by insolation-forced warming/deepening of thermocline source waters. … Another potential source of decadal-centennial forcing is total solar irradiance, which varied more in the early Holocene than the mid- to late Holocene [Marchitto et al., 2010]. Changing solar irradiance is theoretically capable of affecting ENSO via ocean dynamical cooling [Emile-Geay et al., 2007], and is correlated with centennial-scale variations in early Holocene ENSO [Marchitto et al., 2010].


Song et al., 2018

[A] general warm to cold climate trend from the mid-Holocene to the present, which can be divided into two different stages: a warmer stage between 6842 and 1297 cal yr BP and a colder stage from 1297 cal yr BP to the present. … The general cooling trend may represent a response to decreasing solar insolation; however, the relative dryness or wetness of the climate may have been co-determined by westerlies and the East Asian summer monsoon (EASM). The climate had a teleconnection with the North Atlantic region, resulting from changes in solar activity.


Huang et al., 2018

A period of weak chemical weathering, related to cold and dry climatic conditions, occurred during the Little Ice Age (LIA), whereas more intense chemical weathering, reflecting warm and humid climatic conditions, was recorded during the Medieval Warm Period (MWP). Besides, an intensification of chemical weathering in Poyang Lake during the late Holocene agrees well with strong ENSO activity, suggesting that moisture variations in central China may be predominantly driven by ENSO variability. … Rao et al. (2016b) demonstrated that a humid late-Holocene in central China and an arid late-Holocene in southern and northern China were significantly related to strong ENSO activity. Thus, it seems that ENSO forcing may be likely dominant factor controlling moisture variations in central China.


Perner et al., 2018

[W]e find evidence of distinct late Holocene millennial-scale phases of enhanced El Niño/La Niña development, which appear synchronous with northern hemispheric climatic variability.

Phases of dominant El Niño-like states occur parallel to North Atlantic cold phases: the ‘2800 years BP cooling event’, the ‘Dark Ages’ and the ‘Little Ice Age’, whereas the ‘Roman Warm Period’ and the ‘Medieval Climate Anomaly’ parallel periods of a predominant La Niña-like state.

Our findings provide further evidence of coherent interhemispheric climatic and oceanic conditions during the mid to late Holocene, suggesting ENSO as a potential mediator.



Maley et al., 2018


Polovodova Asteman et al., 2018

The record demonstrates a warming during the Roman Warm Period (~350 BCE – 450 CE), variable bottom water temperatures during the Dark Ages (~450 – 850 CE), positive bottom water temperature anomalies during the Viking Age/Medieval Climate Anomaly (~850 – 1350 CE) and a long-term cooling with distinct multidecadal variability during the Little Ice Age (~1350 – 1850 CE). The fjord BWT [bottom water temperatures] record also picks up the contemporary warming of the 20th century, which does not stand out in the 2500-year perspective and is of the same magnitude as the Roman Warm Period and the Medieval Climate Anomaly.

 


Papadomanolaki et al., 2018  (Baltic Sea)

A large fraction of the Baltic Proper became hypoxic again between 1.4 and 0.7 ka BP, during the Medieval Climate Anomaly (MCA), when mean air temperatures were 0.9–1.4 °C higher than temperatures recorded in the period 1961–1990 (e.g. Mann et al., 2009; Jilbert and Slomp, 2013).


20th/21st Centuries Non-Warming


Yi, 2018

As measures of climate response, temperature and precipitation data from the north, east, and south-facing mountain ranges of Shennongjia Massif in the coldest and hottest months (January and July), different seasons (spring, summer, autumn, and winter) and each year were analyzed from a long-term dataset (1960 to 2003) to tested variations characteristics, temporal and spatial quantitative relationships of climates. The results showed that the average seasonal temperatures and precipitation in the north, east, and south aspects of the mountain ranges changed at different rates. The average seasonal temperatures change rate ranges in the north, east, and south-facing mountain ranges were from –0.0210 ℃/yr to 0.0143 ℃/yr, –0.0166 ℃/yr to 0.0311 ℃/yr, and  –0.0290 ℃/yr to 0.0084 ℃/yr, respectively, and seasonal precipitation variation magnitude were from –1.4940 mm/yr to 0.6217 mm/yr, –1.6833 mm/yr to 2.6182 mm/yr, and –0.8567 mm/yr to 1.4077 mm/yr, respectively. The climates variation trend among the three mountain ranges were different in magnitude and direction, showing a complicated change of the climates in mountain ranges and some inconsistency with general trends in global climate change.


Bereiter et al., 2018

Our reconstruction provides unprecedented precision and temporal resolution for the integrated global ocean, in contrast to the depth-, region-, organism- and season-specific estimates provided by other methods. We find that the mean global ocean temperature is closely correlated with Antarctic temperature and has no lead or lag with atmospheric CO2, thereby confirming the important role of Southern Hemisphere climate in global climate trends. We also reveal an enigmatic 700-year warming during the early Younger Dryas period (about 12,000 years ago) that surpasses estimates of modern ocean heat uptake.

(press release)

“Our precision is about 0.2 ºC (0.4 ºF) now, and the warming of the past 50 years is only about 0.1 ºC,” he said, adding that advanced equipment can provide more precise measurements, allowing scientists to use this technique to track the current warming trend in the world’s oceans.


 Purich et al., 2018

Observed Southern Ocean changes over recent decades include a surface freshening (Durack and Wijffels 2010; Durack et al. 2012; de Lavergne et al. 2014), surface cooling (Fan et al. 2014; Marshall et al. 2014; Armour et al. 2016; Purich et al. 2016a) and circumpolar increase in Antarctic sea ice (Cavalieri and Parkinson 2008; Comiso and Nishio 2008; Parkinson and Cavalieri 2012).  … [A]s high-latitude surface freshening is associated with surface cooling and a sea ice increase, this may be another factor contributing to the CMIP5 models excessive Southern Ocean surface warming contrasting the observed surface cooling (Marshall et al. 2014; Purich et al. 2016a), and sea ice decline contrasting the observed increases (Mahlstein et al. 2013; Polvani and Smith 2013; Swart and Fyfe 2013; Turner et al. 2013; Zunz et al. 2013; Gagne et al. 2015) over recent decades. … Our results suggest that recent multi-decadal trends in large-scale surface salinity over the Southern Ocean have played a role in the observed surface cooling seen in this region. … The majority of CMIP5 models do not simulate a surface cooling and increase in sea ice (Fig. 8b), as seen in observations.


Cerrone and Fusco, 2018

Compelling evidence indicates that the large increase in the SH sea ice, recorded over recent years, arises from the impact of climate modes and their long-term trends. The examination of variability ranging from seasonal to interdecadal scales, and of trends within the climate patterns and total Antarctic sea ice concentration (SIC) for the 32-yr period (1982–2013), is the key focus of this paper. The results herein indicate that a progressive cooling has affected the year-to-year climate of the sub-Antarctic since the 1990s. This feature is found in association with increased positive SAM and SAO phases detected in terms of upward annual and seasonal trends (in autumn and summer) and upward decadal trends. In addition, the SIC [sea ice concentration] shows upward annual, spring, and summer trends, indicating the insulation of Antarctica from the warmer flows in the midlatitudes.

    To preempt Sebastian, even if these papers are “cherrypicked” to prove a particular point, they do show that the science is not “settled”.

    1. P Gosselin

      In order to cherry pick, there needs to be something to pick. This to me looks like a rather large early harvest!

    2. SebastianH

      Hmm, are those temperature graphs really showing the last few decades of warming or is this rather a collection of proxy data that ends somewhere in the mid 20th century?

      I only use the term cherry picking when describing Kenneth’s choice of quotes from papers. I am sure one can find out what those papers are really saying when actually reading them rather than trusting his choices 🙂

      Continue posting comments mentioning my handle please … I’m so interested in what you think I would write or think … Not.

      1. AndyG55

        Empty comment again from seb.

        We are in a cooler period of the Holocene.

        GET OVER IT. !!

        We are not interested in your child-troll zero-science attention-seeking claptrap either , seb.

      2. Kenneth Richard

        At what point will you be posting the data (from actual scientific papers) that say the oceanic biosphere cannot adjust to the speed at which the ocean waters have been “acidifying” during the last 200 years? You claimed you had that data, but have failed to produce it. This is the 6th time I have asked.

        Also, please provide the data you claim to have that the satellites show the Earth is browning, or that deserts across the Earth are expanding. You said you had that data…but have failed to produce it too.

        Finally, you claimed that elevated CO2 causes crop quality to decline…and that you had scientific data to back this up. Once again, you have failed to provide any supporting evidence for this too.

        Perhaps you’ve noticed, but I have decided not to let you hurl your baseless claims about having data to support your climate change alarmist beliefs on these comment boards and then scurry off for a few days when asked to produce them. That’s what you do: fabricate/make up stuff and then refuse to respond when called on it. So I will be continuing to press you to back up your claims until you either (a) do so, or (b) admit you were fabricating when you wrote that you have the data.

        1. AndyG55

          No point, Kenneth.

          He will just keep RUNNING and HIDING… yapping baseless and meaningless troll-like attention-seeking snipes.

          Like he has RUN and squirmed around, avoiding producing a single paper that proves empirically that CO2 causes warming our convective atmosphere.

        2. AndyG55

          Kenneth, do you have the original source paper for this graph?

          https://notrickszone.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/Arctic-Sea-Ice-Holocene-Stein-17.jpg

          That clown Nick Stokes is making the claim it was not in the paper, I know I have seen it in the original paper, an upright trio of graphs, but can’t find the link.

          1. AndyG55

            Thanks Kenneth

            Nick actually posted the image that the chart I asked about came from…

            … then said it wasn’t there.

            HILARIOUS to say the least. 🙂

          2. AndyG55

            Nick used to work for CSIRO,

            He is DESPERATELY fighting an anti-science rear-guard action in a vain attempt to hold up the AGW FARCE.

            You think seb can twist and squirm and avoid ..

            .. He has nothing on Nick !!

            But at least Nick has a modicum of basic intelligence. 😉

      3. Bitter&twisted

        Sebastian, you are what my children would refer to as an “egg”, or “[snip]”.
        These terms are used to describe those who do, or say stupid things, [], respectively.

  2. tom_mason

    Oh CO2 fingerprint where are you?
    Hiding in the deep oceans again? 🙂

    Simple, Objective and Inexpensive Approach to Exposing the CAGW Hoax; Live By The Computer, Die By The Computer

    This is a very very very easy to expose the fraud that CAGW truly is, and it would be done objectively and removed from political and personal bias. President Trump should demand that “Stepwise” be run on all Tax-Payer Funded climate models, and the results of the “Stepwise” model should be compared to the results of the existing model. If the R-Square, or explanatory power, of the “Stepwise” model, is greater than the existing climate model, then you have the case for possible scientific fraud. It will at least force the slimate clientists to acknowledge that there are factors far far far more important to the climate than CO2. Slimate clientists have chosen the computer as their weapon in this war, so President Trump should fight back using the computer. Like the Frankenstein Monster, the creation can be used to turn on its creators. Computers won’t lie, slimate climatists will and do, and “Stepwise” can prove it. The very computer models the IPCC created to manufacture the CAGW Myth can be used to destroy it.

    OT, Due to shut-down of coal, basically all Eastern Australia is on a knife-edge for electricity.

    No decent RELIABLE upgrades to the system in MANY years (except in Queensland)

    This really has got to the FARCE stage
