2004 Climate Change Cooling 
Real Climate

Two decades ago, in an interview with science journalist Richard Kerr for the journal Science, I coined the term the “Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation” (AMO) to describe an internal oscillation in the climate system resulting from interactions between North Atlantic ocean currents and wind patterns. Background.

This would have a cooling effect on Atlantic SST, as well as a stabilizing effect on the regional atmosphere ( Dunion and Velden 2004 ), and would be expected to reduce tropical storm formation frequency for some (possibly prolonged) period.

Do the data used really describe changes in AMOC? We have direct AMOC measurements only since 2004, a time span too short for this type of study. If the AMOC weakens, this region will cool. And in fact it is cooling – it’s the only region on Earth which has cooled since preindustrial times.

Well, back in 1993 (before the more comprehensive critiques had been published), Hoyt and Schatten put together a long-term estimate of solar activity that relied on the SCL, based on the idea from FCL91 and scaled to a finding about cycling and non-cycling stars that turned out to be wrong too (Wright, 2004). 1273-1278, 2004.

Major abrupt past climate changes are linked to AMOC instabilities, including Dansgaard-Oeschger-Events and Heinrich Events. We don’t have direct measurements over such a long time (only since 2004 from the RAPID project ), but various indirect indications. For more on this see my Review Paper in Nature.

This is due to the extremely high quality of fruit that Western Colorado can produce, given its ideal climate (warm days, cool nights in the summer) and access to local markets, which allows the picking and sales of peaches at a more “tree ripe” stage (i.e., 2004, June. farmgate price) in the nation (USDA-NASS, 2019).

The trees and vegetation removed when these mining sites were cleared would have aided with the erosion problem while also helping to combat global warming and climate change. After a site has been chosen, the goal is to try to get a blank slate on the vegetation to start over.
