What Is Foretold About Global Temperature Change? At Kooyong LTC

Similar Natural Climate Cycles of the Past Millennium in Central Europe, the Poles and East Asia; what do they tell and foretell about global temperature change?

Quantitative study of climate cycles shows that much of the warming of the past century appears to be independent of changes in atmospheric CO2; while CO2 is a greenhouse gas and must influence global warming, the natural cycles indicate that future warming will not be solely a function of CO2.  A projection to year 2100 predicts global temperature changes different from those provided by current climate models.
