c. “On destructive Canadian Prairie windstorms and severe winters: A climatological assessment in the context of global warming” Keith Hage Natural Hazards V 29 (2003) p. 207-228

Documents a temporal frequency peak in severe windstorms and associated tornadoes during the 1920s and 1930s, then a steady decline since 1940 through 1980s. A steep rise in tornado frequency since 1970 is attributed to increasing awareness and reporting of tornado activity in recent years, and NOT due to change in tornado climatology.


d. “Shifting economic impacts from weather extremes in the Unites States: a result of societal changes, not global warming” Stanley Changnon Natural Hazards V 29 (2003) p. 273-290

Documents that increasing economic impacts of extreme weather events in the USA is a result of societal change and NOT global warming.


e. “The global warming debate: A review of the present state of science” M L Khandekar T S Murty & P Chittibabu Pure & Applied Geophysics V 162 (2005) p. 1557-1586

Concludes that the recent warming of the earth’s surface is primarily due to urbanization, land-use change, etc. and not due to increasing green house gas in the atmosphere.


f. “Extreme weather trends vs dangerous climate change: A need for a critical reassessment” M L Khandekar Energy & Environment V 16 (2005) p.327-331

Shows that extreme weather events like heat waves, winter blizzards, rainstorms, droughts etc are not increasing anywhere in Canada, USA or elsewhere, where sufficient data are available for adequate analysis.


g. “The interaction of climate change and the carbon dioxide cycle” A Rorsch R S Courtney & D Thoenes Energy & Environment V 16 (2005) p. 217-238

h. “Can we detect trends in extreme tropical cyclones?” Christopher Landsea et al Science V 313 (2006)p.452-454

Suggests the Dvorak technique, developed to estimate hurricane strength, was not available in the late 1960s and early 1970s or before, when some of the hurricanes and tropical cyclones may have been stronger than estimated.


i. “Trends in western North Pacific tropical cyclone intensity” M-C Wu K-H Yeung & W-L Chang EOS Transactions AGU V 87 (2006) No 48 28 November 2006

Suggests that the western North Pacific tropical cyclone climatology does not reveal increasing strength for typhoon records from 1965 to 2004.


j. “On global forces of nature driving the earth’s climate: Are humans involved?” L F Khilyuk & G V Chilinger Environmental Geology V 50 (2006) p. 899-910

Presents a comprehensive review of the global forces driving the earth’s climate over geological times. The present warming of the last 150 years is a short warming episode in the earth’s geologic history. Human activity (anthropogenic green house gas emission) may be responsible for only 0.01°C of the approximately 0.56°C warming of the 20th

century.


Summary & Conclusions


1. The recent warming of the earth’s surface (~0.4°C ) is significantly influenced by human activity on ground like urbanization, land-use change etc. The warming due solely to human-added CO2 appears to be a smaller part of the total recent warming.


2. Solar variability and changes in large-scale atmospheric flow patterns in recent years have also contributed to some of the recent warming of the earth’s surface.


3. The Arctic basin temperature changes of the last 125 years, appear to be intimately linked to the Total Soar Irradiance (TSI) while showing a weak correlation with atmospheric CO2

concentrations.


4. The earth’s climate experienced Rapid Climate Change during the entire Holocene period. and in particular during the last 5000 years or so. Ice core and other proxy data document mid-Holocene warming of the Arctic as well as the Antarctic. This Holocene warming appears to be strongly linked to solar variability and not to the greenhouse gas forcing.


5. There does not appear any discernible link between Global Warming and recent increase in extreme weather events world-wide. The apparent increase in extreme weather events is more a perception than reality, this perception being created due to increased media attention and publicity of extreme weather events.


6. North Atlantic hurricanes appear to have strengthened in recent years; however typhoons and tropical cyclones in other ocean basins do not show consistent increase in strength in recent years.


7. The Sea Level Rise of the 20th century is influenced significantly by inter-decadal variability. The most recent study (published January 2007) shows that the sea-level change in the last fifty years were smaller than those in the early part of the 20th century. There is no evidence of accelerated sea-level change in recent years.


8. Present state-of-the-art coupled climate models still cannot simulate many important features of major climate events like El Nino South oscillation and tropical and/or Asian Monsoon at this time. The climate models do not simulate many features of convective or large-scale precipitation characteristics.


9. The Thermohaline Circulation in the North Atlantic has exhibited considerable variability in the 20th century; however this variability appears to be part of natural multi-decadal climate variability and does not appear to be linked to Global Warming.


10. Future projections of earth’s climate using present climate models do not have sufficient reliability for climate policy decisions.
