Aquaria in the short - term experiment were held in a seawater bath at a constant temperature (Titan 1500 chiller unit, Aqua Medic) to reflect either
the annual mean temperature of the study site (10.24 ± 0.02 °C; see electronic supplementary material, figure S2) or a warming scenario of +4 °C (14.36 ± 0.12 °C; see electronic supplementary material, figure S2).

Greater numbers
of plant species in ruderal based environments were found in equatorial areas where the level
of water (represented by
mean annual precipitation) related variables are high, whereas competitive and stress tolerant based plant environments were found in locations where energy (represented by
mean annual temperature) are expressed with greater weight acting on the distribution.

The warming trends in looking at numerous 100 year
temperature plots from northern and high elevation climate stations... i.e. warming trends in
annual mean and minimum
temperature averages, winter monthly
means and minimums and especially winter minimum
temperatures and dewpoints... indicate climate warming that is being driven by the accumulation
of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere — no visible effects from other things like changes in solar radiation or the levels
of cosmic rays.
... Polar amplification explains in part why Greenland Ice Sheet and the West Antarctic Ice Sheet appear to be highly sensitive to relatively small increases in CO2 concentration and global
mean temperature... Polar amplification occurs if the magnitude
of zonally averaged surface

temperature change, in response to climate forcings and on time scales greater than the
annual cycle.
What would be interesting to look at, rather than

of the previous year.
Thus, the simplest thing to do is to: a) construct a time series
of annual global
temperature averages, add a random component to each year (value drawn from a gaussian with the given standard deviation and
mean zero).
This can be done a number
of ways, firstly, plotting the observational data and the models used by IPCC with a common baseline

temperatures (as done in the 2007 report)(Note that the model output is for the
annual mean, monthly variance would be larger):

«In considering the question

of fossil fuel combustion or deforestation.»
Results show that this region is undergoing rapid warming: the trends
of annual mean minimum
