Why Does Climate Change?
<p>This tactic can be effective, and it actually gets at a deeper question within climate science. It’s true that Earth’s climate has changed in the past. These changes have a variety of different causes. Some of them emerge from the natural chaos of the climate system, and others are imposed by outside forces. The climate system has a lot of moving parts that are difficult to disentangle. This distinction is called <strong>internal vs external variability</strong>. Much of the work that climate scientists due is devoted to separating these two factors in current trends that are being observed.</p>
<p>Variability is a complex topic. There are entire textbooks devoted to studying and describing change in a chaotic system. Statistics provides us with many ways to describe variability and its magnitude. This becomes an especially difficult problem with a system as large and tough to observe as Earth’s climate. In this article, I’m going to talk about the difference between internal and external variability. I’ll also talk about how climate scientists distinguish between the two and how that is applied to human-caused climate change. Let’s dive in!</p>
