New paper finds the highest storm activity is associated with cold periods
Article Tags: Papers Challenging AGW
A new paper published in Nature Geoscience examines climate change over the past 11,500 years and finds, contrary to the claims of climate alarmists, that the highest storm activity is associated with cold periods.
According to the authors, “We find that high storm activity occurred periodically with a frequency of about 1,500 years, closely related to cold and windy periods.” The paper adds to several others showing that global warming decreases storm activity and extreme weather.
Persistent non-solar forcing of Holocene storm dynamics in coastal sedimentary archives – by Philippe Sorrel, Maxime Debret, Isabelle Billeaud, Samuel L. Jaccard, Jerry F. McManus & Bernadette Tessier
Considerable climatic variability on decadal to millennial timescales has been documented for the past 11,500 years of interglacial climate1, 2, 3.
This variability has been particularly pronounced at a frequency of about 1,500 years, with repeated cold intervals in the North Atlantic1, 3. However, there is growing evidence that these oscillations originate from a cluster of different spectral signatures4, ranging from a 2,500-year cycle throughout the period to a 1,000-year cycle during the earliest millennia.
