		<description><![CDATA[Because of the comparatively short period for which we have observations of the variations in the sun&#8217;s energy output, we have no reliable information of its longer-term trends and their probable effect on the earth&#8217;s temperature trends. Yet  studies of indirect observations from Beryllium to numbers of sunspots suggest such and effect, despite present [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Globally, greenhouse gas forcing is the key driver in policy-relevent climate change (ie. over the next 20, 50, 100 years). Regionally -at the scales people live, ecosystems function, water is obtained and crops grown, other forcings can dominate. Land cover change, urbanization, industrial aerosols etc can all have regional fingerprints that while globally small are [...]]]></description>

The arctic ocean is gaining excess heat which is already being given back to the atmosphere in the autumn and thus changing the winds down into the northern mid-latitudes and the northern part of the earth&#8217;s heat [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The diabatic forcing by clouds drive the vertical transports in the atmosphere, particularly in the tropics and the warm season; and establish the regional and tropical climate. Typically these diabatic terms have significant biases in models which bias the climate: hence these errors need to be evaluated against data and fixed.

Some places (particularly in poorer countries) rely on growing food locally and do not have the infractructure to deal with large weather fluctuations.
