The non-linear trend in Rahmstorf et al. [2007] is updated with recent global temperature data. The evidence does not support the basis for their claim that the sensitivity of the climate system has been underestimated.

<p>It is already well known that intra-seasonal oscillations in the Earth’s global temperature are driven by ENSO (El Niño Southern Oscillation) events. ENSO signal is also present in length of day and global sea level rise, because during El Niño the increase of the length of day and global sea level rise can be noticed. To detect common oscillations in length of day, global sea level rise, global temperature data and ENSO indices the wavelet-based semblance filtering method was used. This method, however, seeks the signals with a good phase agreement of oscillations in two time series thus, no phase agreement results in very small amplitudes of the common signals. The spectra-temporal semblance functions allow detecting the similarity of two time series in spectral bands in which the amplitudes and phases of the oscillations are consistent with each other. The amplitudes of oscillations in the considered data vary in time and in order to detect the signals with similar amplitude variations between pairs of time series the normalized Morlet wavelet transform (NMWT) and the combination of the Fourier transform bandpass filter with the Hilbert transform (FTBPF+HT) were used. These two methods enable computation of the instantaneous amplitudes and phases of oscillations in two real-valued time series. In order to detect oscillations with similar amplitude variations in two time series correlation coefficients between the amplitude variations as a function of oscillation frequencies were computed.</p>

Econometric studies for global heating have typically used regional or global temperature averages to study its long memory properties. One typical explanation behind the long memory properties of temperature averages is cross-sectional aggregation. Nonetheless, formal analysis regarding the effect that aggregation has on the long memory dynamics of temperature data has been missing. Thus, this paper studies the long memory properties of individual grid temperatures and compares them against the long memory dynamics of global and regional averages. Our results show that the long memory parameters in individual grid observations are smaller than those from regional averages. Global and regional long memory estimates are greatly affected by temperature measurements at the Tropics, where the data is less reliable. Thus, this paper supports the notion that aggregation may be exacerbating the long memory estimated in regional and global temperature data. The results are robust to the bandwidth parameter, limit for station radius of influence, and sampling frequency.

Anomalous enhancement of solar insolation of the earth's surface in the presence of foci of excitation in its depths can cause a response at local sites. Such foci include, first of all, recent and past (retro) volcanoes, such as the ancient volcano on the territory of Kara-Dag in the Crimea. The authors of this article have found increased, in comparison with other localities of the Crimea, general insolation according to SSE. According to the 22-year linear trend, the rate of insolation growth falling on the earth's surface at Kara-Dag has been calculated, which is 2,69 kWh/m2 per century, being more than 2 times higher than insolation growth in other areas of the Crimea. This phenomenon has been the subject of discussion, and additional research is needed, both on the geological structure of Kara-Dag and on the impact of external and internal forces. At the stage of studying the structure of data on insolation of the earth's surface at Kara-Dag, we have built a 6-order sine-wave model. The most powerful (amplitudes more than an order of magnitude higher than the noise level) regular oscillations on the 22-year interval have periods of 365,3 and 365,7 days. Statistical estimates of the degree of approximation by a sinusoidal model (R2 = 0,9, RMSE = 0,7) indicate that, in addition to regular periodic oscillations, there are irregular fluctuations in the data at time intervals determined by a continuous time-frequency wavelet analysis. The wavelet transformation graph highlights the interval of insolation energy growth at Kara-Dag locality after 1995. In order to analyze the statistical relationship of changes in local insolation of the Earth's surface with the Earth's rotation around the axis and its orbital movement, solar activity and global temperature, autoregression models of the power spectral density were calculated using which coherent oscillations were found between variations in Kara-Dag paragraph and variations in the data: on the length of the day (LOD) with a period of 11,8 years and a square modulus of coherence of 0,85; about solar activity with periods of 10,5, 3,6 years and a squared coherence modulus of 0,8 and 0,85; about global temperature indices with periods of 2,3, 3,5 years and squares of coherence modulus 0,7 and 0,9, respectively. The increased growth of insolation and the temperature of the earth at Kara-Dag locality that we found requires additional research and observations.

Abstract. Climate sensitivity is a crucial parameter in global temperature modelling. An estimate is made at the time 33.4 Ma using published high-resolution deep-sea temperature proxy obtained from foraminiferal δ18O records from DSDP site 744, combined with published data for atmospheric partial pressure of CO2 (pCO2) from carbonate microfossils, where δ11B provides a proxy for pCO2. The pCO2 data shows a pCO2 decrease accompanying the major cooling event of about 4 °C from greenhouse conditions to icecap conditions following the Eocene-Oligocene boundary (33.7 My). During the cooling pCO2 fell from 1150 to 770 ppmv. The cooling event was followed by a rapid and huge increase in pCO2 back to 1130 ppmv in the space of 50 000 yr. The large pCO2 increase was accompanied by a small deep-ocean temperature increase estimated as 0.59 ± 0.063 °C. Climate sensitivity estimated from the latter is 1.1 ± 0.4 °C (66% confidence) compared with the IPCC central value of 3 °C. The post Eocene-Oligocene transition (33.4 Ma) value of 1.1 °C obtained here is lower than those published from Holocene and Pleistocene glaciation-related temperature data (800 Kya to present) but is of similar order to sensitivity estimates published from satellite observations of tropospheric and sea-surface temperature variations. The value of 1.1 °C is grossly different from estimates up to 9 °C published from paleo-temperature studies of Pliocene (3 to 4 Mya) age sediments. The range of apparent climate sensitivity values available from paleo-temperature data suggests that either feedback mechanisms vary widely for the different measurement conditions, or additional factors beyond currently used feedbacks are affecting global temperature-CO2 relationships.
