They concluded that few of the records showed anything particularly unusual
about twentieth century temperatures, especially when compared with the so - called «Medieval Warm Period» a thousand years ago.
Not exact matches
seems to be incompatible with the statement from his Annual review paper from 2000 (see abstract below) that: «The average surface
temperature of the continents has increased by
about 1.0 K over the past 5
centuries; half of this increase has occurred in the
twentieth century alone.»

Here we show that the hemispheric differences in
temperature trends in the middle of the
twentieth century stem largely from a rapid drop in Northern Hemisphere sea surface
temperatures of
about 0.3 6C between
about 1968 and 1972.
The reason you don't know
about it is that it was covered up in official
temperature curves by a fake warming called «late
twentieth century warming.»
Meehl et al., 2004 found that «By far the largest
temperature response is to the GHGs in Fig. 1e, with slow warming occurring in the first half of the
twentieth century up to
about.
«Excluding Antarctica, the
twentieth -
century average
temperature among the six regions was
about 0.4 °C higher than the averaged
temperatures of the preceding five
centuries»
«The advances can not be reconciled with a climate similar to that of the
twentieth century» says nothing
about temperature.
On the time - varying trend in global - mean surface
temperature ``... we showed that the rapidity of the warming in the late
twentieth century was a result of concurrence of a secular warming trend and the warming phase of a multidecadal (~ 65 - year period) oscillatory variation and we estimated the contribution of the former to be
about 0.08 deg C per decade since ~ 1980.»
You are in the dark
about all this because in official IPCC
temperature curves it was covered up and over-written by a phony warming called the «late
twentieth century warming.»
He was right
about so many things — the background nineteenth -
century CO2 concentration level and its increase over the
twentieth century; the importance of high - quality
temperature data and the warming trend observed over much of his lifetime; the infrared spectroscopy of CO2 and its effect on «sky radiation»; and more.
All this and global
temperatures have only risen
about 0.8 degrees Celsius (1.44 degrees Fahrenheit) since the early
Twentieth Century.
