Natural Climate Variability and Global Warming

Rick Battarbee (Editor), Heather Binney (Editor) — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 04:00:00 GMT

Whilst there is now overwhelming evidence that greenhouse-gas pollution is becoming the dominant process responsible for global warming, it is also clear that the climate system varies quite naturally on different time-scales. Predicting the course of future climate change consequently requires an understanding of the natural variability of the climate system as well as the effects of human-induced change.
