Anastasios Tsonis[edit]

  • ... that Anastasios Tsonis has published research concluding that "climate shifts" may explain short-term changes between warming and cooling periods over the 20th century?

  • Article new enough, long enough. Although I think that the hook presents a fair assessment of the overall work of Tsonis regarding climate change, I am concerned that there is no exact passage in the article regarding the proposed phrasing of the hook. I would prefer if there were an exact sentence in the article, followed by a reference for verification, which could then be used as a hook. In addition the following sentences are close to the descriptions found in the sources and need quotation marks or additional changes in wording and structure:

    The authors also argued that different forms of natural climate variability can synchronize, shifting the climate into a new state, and that this may explain the cessation of warming beginning in 2001 or 2002.[6][7] He has argued that natural forces, especially ocean currents, may play a more significant role in climate change than human activity, and that the Earth is currently in a period of cooling that could last for as long as fifty years.[8] In 2013, he reiterated his view that this cooling trend was occurring, and might continue for the next 15 years.

So as to address your concerns, I have rewritten the quotes and put them in quotation marks, and am proposing the following alternative hook: ALT1: ...that Anastasios Tsonis' research has concluded that, as a result of natural processes, the Earth might have entered a new "climate state" in 2001 or 2002?

Thank you. Attribution looks much better now. As far as ALT1, the source (The Guardian) qualifies the sentence with "might have entered". Perhaps, ALT1 can be modified accordingly. Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις 22:50, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
Thank you for the modifications. ALT1 is Good to go. Δρ.Κ. λόγοςπράξις 22:57, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
