Detection and attribution of climate change depend explicitly on proper characterization of natural patterns of climate over time. This book examines multiple types of climate data, from ocean heat content over a few years to ice core data going back 60,000 years. Multi-scale analyses are employed to test for stationarity or acceleration of warming in satellite and ground instrumental data. Problems that arise when combining instrumental data into long records are evaluated. The CO2 rise pattern is characterized and the problem of extrapolation is addressed. It is finally shown that periodic patterns can be detected at multiple time scales, from decades to millenia. These patterns are characterized and used to address the attribution problem. The human contribution to climate is shown to be separable from natural variability and is characterized. Human forcing of climate is shown to be detectable beginning in 1942. This forcing pattern is used along with patterns of natural variability to make a 100 year forecast.
