There are many examples of extreme climate variations on decadal timescales, many of which are associated with human death and misery. Perhaps the most striking in recent decades is the decadal timescale drought in the Sahel (leading, for example, to the remarkable Band-Aid Concerts). Other decadal-timescale droughts, such as the “dust-bowl” drought in the Southern US in the 1930s, are infamous...
