One of the most pervasive misunderstandings of climate — even among some who publish on climate — is the belief that any long-term trend in a measured climate variable indicates a change in climate, ...

Natural climate variability, also called internal variability, can change regional and global atmospheric temperature by moving heat within the climate system. Diagnosing the role of natural climate ...
