These models have many of the same features as the long-range ones - with the disadvantage of short-term variability but the advantage of fewer permutations.

Dessler doesn't solve the problem for the long-term, but he does nail down short-term variability.

What reservoir(s) and sources of carbon do scientists identify as the cause of this short-term variability?

The System Wide Monitoring Program (SWMP, pronounced "swamp") was established in 1995 as a means of observing short-term variability and long-term changes in estuarine regions.

A drought, an especially cold winter and a pest outbreak all constitute short-term variability in environmental conditions.

Data concerning short-term variability may help scientists predict long-term impacts of ocean acidification on coral reefs.

The El Niño-Southern Oscillation, which takes place in the Pacific, is generally regarded as the main driver of short-term variability, so this goes a bit against the grain.

But some of that spin specifically plays upon the widespread innumeracy of the public, which isn't well prepared to separate trends from short-term variability, or recognize when certain figures are selectively chosen.
