2. Fish and climate The forecasts are based on models The famous "hockey stick" IPCC, 2001 Climate Gate? “.. a new form of colonialism...The white wealthy western world telling 1.6 billion people in developing world -- predominantly of color -- that they have to have their economies managed, their energy managed all because of climate fears." http://joannenova.com.au/2009/12/newscientist-becomes-non-scientist/ http://www.weeklystandard.com/a rticles/denial THE world’s leading climate change body has been accused of losing credibility after a damning report into its research practices. A high-level inquiry by the InterAcademy Council (IAC) into the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change found there was “little evidence” for its claims about global warming. It also said the panel had emphasised the negative impacts of climate change and made “substantive findings” based on little proof. http://www.climatedepot.com/ Global temperature trends: NASA, 1998 for the last 1,000 years … for the last 10,000 years … It seems as if temperatures have always been changing! for the last 1,000,000 years … NIPCC Non-governmental International Panel on Climate Change March 2008 Available on line from www.heartland.org Follow the debate: See http://www.climatedepot.com/ Environmental changes What are the fishery, environmental, and trophic effects in historical data? Can we use ‘short-term’ predictions from multiple regression models? Two kind of predictions: •What happens when? •What happens if? IPCC 2001, Box 6-1 Normalised catches of 11 commercial fish species (accounting for about 40% of the world’s marine catch) have fluctuated together over the 20th century. Catches also show a strong relationship with the Atmospheric Circulation Index (ACI). ACI is a large-scale, multi-decadal climatic index based on the direction of atmospheric air mass transfer.

They are also associated with changes in wind, pressure, and rainfall patterns. Once developed, El Niño and La Niña events are known to shift the seasonal temperature and precipitation patterns in many different regions of the world, even ones that are distant from the equatorial Pacific Ocean.

During the negative PDO, before 1978, the equatorial Pacific was cooler and primary productivity was higher. Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, the PDO was in the positive phase and, therefore, productivity in general was lower. http://www.ncsu.edu/kenan/ncsi/Docs/Presentations/Duke2.ppt Climate change Time series of departures from the 1961 to 1990 base period for an annual mean global temperature of 14.0°C (bars) and for a carbon dioxide mean of 334 ppmv (solid curve) during the base period. From Karl et al. (2003) Present level Present level Historical data examined shows changes in the ocean heat content (to depths of 3000 m) to be slowly increasing with substantial decadal time scale variations related to climate variability.
