It may seem surprising to people, but you can look at something like Mars, which has a very thin atmosphere, and you can look at something like Venus which we tend to think of as sort of having this rather heavy, clouded atmosphere, which [is] hellishly warm because of runaway greenhouse effect, and on both of those planets you are seeing this phenomenon of the atmosphere leaking away, is actually what directly has led to those very different outcomes for those planets; the specifics of what happened as the atmosphere started to go in each case [made] all the difference.

With an El Niño expected to develop late this summer or in the fall, there is a chance that 2014 could move into the spot as the warmest year on record, though the climate phenomenon's effects are generally most pronounced in the colder months, so the boost it gives to global temperatures could be reserved for 2015.

The theory of dangerous climate change is based not just on carbon dioxide warming but on positive and negative feedback effects from water vapor and phenomena such as clouds and airborne aerosols from coal burning.

A global warming phenomenon in our spaceship is one of several unintended effects of the unregulated, swift increase of 1) absolute global human population numbers, 2) per capita consumption of limited resources, and 3) large - scale business activities that could be occurring synergistically and approaching a point in history when it will not be possible for the Earth's resource base and frangible ecosystems services to sustain life as we now know it to be.

This is the linchpin: if the difference between pre-industrial and modern temperatures is not as dramatic as this analysis indicates — i.e. if modern GLOBAL temperatures are comparable to those of the Medieval Warm Period (named for a REGIONAL phenomenon)-- then there is little need for urgency.

However, the claims by certain scientists that the extremely active hurricane seasons of 2004/2005 were due to a cyclic phenomenon in the Atlantic ocean known as the «Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation», in which an accelerating Gulf Stream causes warm water to move northward, were quite astounding and also unsupported.

When I speak about climate science, communication and policy, I often use some variant of this visual aid to help separate a few important subcomponents of the phenomenon known as global warming:

Re 9 wili — I know of a paper suggesting, as I recall, that enhanced «backradiation» (downward radiation reaching the surface emitted by the air / clouds) contributed more to Arctic amplification specifically in the cold part of the year (just to be clear, backradiation should generally increase with any warming (aside from greenhouse feedbacks) and more so with a warming due to an increase in the greenhouse effect (including feedbacks like water vapor and, if positive, clouds, though regional changes in water vapor and clouds can go against the global trend); otherwise it was always my understanding that the albedo feedback was key (while sea ice decreases so far have been more a summer phenomenon (when it would be warmer to begin with), the heat capacity of the sea prevents much temperature response, but there is a greater build up of heat from the albedo feedback, and this is released in the cold part of the year when ice forms later or would have formed or would have been thicker; the seasonal effect of reduced winter snow cover decreasing at those latitudes which still recieve sunlight in the winter would not be so delayed).

Such phenomena as wildlife migrations and lengthened growing seasons are due to this step warming and not to any global greenhouse effect as numerous attributions claim.

I can't believe I am saying this, as the media covergae of climate change is almost universally appalling BUT I think part of the problem is that we, as the scientific community allowed the message / meme to permeate that media that «warming» was purely an atmospheric temperature phenomena to be assessed solely by average global temperatures.

Their causes range from completely unpredictable events like volcanic eruptions (which have mainly local effects) to more regular phenomena such as «El Niño» (a warming of the surface waters of the tropical Pacific that occurs every three to five years, temporarily affecting weather world - wide).

Roger disputed that carbon (as CO2) caused any warming, that honest, unaltered science thought CO2 to be the consequence rather than the driver of temperature increases, that increasing CO2 in the air was sourced by natural phenomena rather than mostly man - made, and that to decrease CO2 to levels required by regulation would start to starve plants, making more folks on the planet to starve accordingly.

Just to rephrase my last question: If the current global warming situation is man made, and / or caused by other natural Earthly factors, then why is every planet in our solar system experiencing this phenomenon as well?

But when we really look at history objectively and tease out measurement problems and cyclical phenomena, we are going to find that this trend is entirely consistent with a zero to negative feedback assumption for the climate as a whole, meaning that man's CO2 is driving 1.2 C or less of warming per doubling of CO2 concentrations.
