The fundamental source of all energy in the Earth's climate system is radiation from the Sun. Therefore, variation in solar output Patient is a radiative forcing agent. [ 11IPCCBILAN2001 0 MCLH 16/01/2015 ]

Quantitative assessment of the sensitivity, adaptive capacity, and vulnerability of natural and human systems to climate change, with particular emphasis on changes in the range of climatic Patient variation and the frequency and severity of extreme climate events. [ 3IPCCCONSEQUENCE 0 MCLH 16/01/2015 ]

Wide Degree variation in the vulnerability of similar sectors or systems Patient is to be expected across regions, as a consequence of regional differences in local environmental conditions, pre-existing stresses to ecosystems, current resource-use patterns, and the framework of factors affecting decisionmaking - including government policies, prices, preferences and values. [ 7IPCCREGION 0 MCLH 16/01/2015 ]

On a shorter timescale, the variation in the number of sunspots (cooler regions, around 4,300 K) Cause also produces variation in the intensity of the solar radiation Patient . [ JACLET 0 MCLH 16/01/2015 ]

The thermal expansion component of sea level rise is computed from the variation of globally-averaged ocean temperature Patient change with depth. [ 10IPCCMODELE 0 MCLH 16/01/2015 ]

Vulnerability is a function of the character, magnitude, and rate of climate Patient variation to which a system is exposed, its sensitivity, and its adaptive capacity. [ 2IPCCBIODIVERSITE 0 MCLH 16/01/2015 ]
