I am curious about
the apparent lack of warming observed over the 20th century for North America.
We can place
this apparent lack of warming in the context of natural climate fluctuations other than ENSO using twenty - first century simulations with the HadCM3 climate model (Gordon et al. 2000), which is typical of those used in the recent IPCC report (AR4; Solomon et al. 2007).
«In a time coinciding with high - level political negotiations on preventing climate change, sceptical media and politicians were using
the apparent lack of warming to downplay the importance of climate change.

However, a
lack of historical data on jellyfish populations has caused some scientists to question whether the
apparent boom is actually connected to global
warming.
And the tenor
of your questioning (and the
lack of any
apparent learning) is a reason why there is no reasonable dialogue on Global
Warming.
My other reason for «solution aversion» is the
apparent lack of reliable data on current global
warming trends and the poor peer review processes that have taken place in the climate science field so far.
This paper is a «one year anniversary» non-event, in an
apparent attempt to get everyone's attention off
of IPCC, Climategate, unexplained
lack of warming of both the atmosphere and the upper ocean, unusually harsh winters across the northern hemisphere, loss
of public confidence and trust and a host
of other worries for the «alarming AGW faithful».
(As an aside, I find it interesting that the amount
of variability being assigned to NAT and INT appears to be rising in an
apparent attempt to explain away the recent
lack of warming).
It will also include scientifically refuting the
apparent falsification
of the above «dangerous AGW» hypothesis, which has resulted from the observed «
lack of warming»
of our planet over the past decade (atmosphere, at both the surface and troposphere since 2001, sea surface temperature since ARGO measurements were installed in 2003), despite record increase in atmospheric CO2, as measured at Mauna Loa, by demonstrating with empirical data where the «missing energy» is hiding.
You aren't thinking about the
warming period early last century, because we know it was a relatively brief period, and so
lacked huge significance, and was caused by a combination
of CO2 emissions, high solar activity and low volcanic activity and the later two factors haven't been
apparent since the 1970's modern
warming period.
However, the
lack of an
apparent robust statistical correlation linking observed temperature to observed atmospheric CO2 makes the case for CO2 causation for the observed
warming weak, and the case for AGW as a potential threat even weaker.
