But as cogently interpreted by the physicist and climate expert Dr. Joseph Romm of the liberal Center for American Progress, «Latif has NOT predicted a cooling trend — or a «decades - long deep freeze» — but rather a short - time span where human - caused warming might be partly offset by ocean cycles, staying at current record levels, but then followed by «accelerated» warming where you catch up to the long - term human - caused trend.

While the Earth seems to be managing the steady increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide relatively well so far (although the effects of this increase may not be felt for many decades to come), there are concerns that passing the 400 parts per million atmospheric carbon dioxide threshold will bring the Earth's atmosphere closer to a tipping point at which global warming accelerates rapidly with dire consequences for mankind and other creatures on Earth.

Exceeding the 400 parts per million level of worldwide atmospheric carbon dioxide later this decade continues a troubling trend which brings the world closer to the potential to reach a global warming tipping point in which global warming accelerates rapidly as the potent greenhouse gas methane is liberated from the frozen state that it has been in for millions of years.

In fact it wouldn't be unreasonable to say that since 1997, the rate of global warming has accelerated [0.145 / decade to 0.164 / decade] But this is true even though «since 1997» there has been no temperature increase.

Considering all the short - term factors identified by the scientific community that acted to slow the rate of global warming over the past two decades (volcanoes, ocean heat uptake, solar decreases, predominance of La Niñas, etc.) it is likely the temperature increase would have accelerated in comparison to the late 20th Century increases.

seeking this answer is what used to be called «science»; trying to explain why the prediction of continued accelerating global warming from the 52 % increase in CO2 emissions from fossil fuels since Hansen predicted this in 1988 has failed to materialize and trying to explain why the Earth has experienced no global warming for over a decade in spite of the 26 % increase in CO2 emissions from fossil fuels is what is funny
