Sentences with phrase «average global temperature represent»

The records of annual average global temperature represent the extreme but also carry weight because all other local information has been lost.

Not exact matches

Because climate systems are complex, increases in global average temperatures do not mean increased temperatures everywhere on Earth, nor that temperatures in a given year will be warmer than the year before (which represents weather, not climate).

Two decades after the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, most governments have agreed that limiting the increase in the average surface temperature of the Earth to 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels would represent a tolerable amount of global warming.

Before anyone gets too excited though, they should take note that the basis for this argument is that the correlation between the global average temperature and a time series that represents the AMO is higher than for one that represents ENSO.

I have a perhaps naive question: The hockey sticks represent GLOBAL average temperatures, right?

GISS, HadCRU, RSS, and UAH represent the four organizations that publish online the global average temperature estimates.

Given the decadal averages and the issue of what is meant by «the next» decade, Romm does have a point that the result of the paper could more clearly be described as representing «a period of flat global mean temperatures extending somewhat into the coming decade, following by a very rapid rise in temperature leaving the planet on its long - term trend line by 2030.»

The global temperature record represents an average over the entire surface of the planet.

The key pieces of empirical data are that average global temperature has now failed to increase for 17 years despite an accompanying increase of about 8 % in carbon dioxide which represents 34 % of all the human emissions since the start of the industrial revolution (NIPCC SPM, Figure 6).

Temporary slowdown in global average surface temperature warming observed between 1998 and 2013 represented a redistribution of energy within the Earth system, new research shows.

A new study of the temporary slowdown in the global average surface temperature warming trend observed between 1998 and 2013 concludes the phenomenon represented a redistribution of energy within the Earth system, with Earth's ocean absorbing the extra heat.

Solid lines and squares represent measured average global surface temperature changes by NASA (blue), NOAA (yellow), and the UK Hadley Centre (green).

Victor also points out that average global surface temperatures doesn't fully represent the changing global climate.

Everyone knows that global warming (as represented by the rise in the earth's average surface temperature) has stopped for nearly two decades now.

Last month's jump in global temperatures represents an increase of 1.35 C above the average temperature level for the period 1951 - 80 and 1.63 C above pre-industrial levels, taking global temperature for the month above the 1.5 C rise that last year's Paris climate was supposed to prevent.

The added lines represent the HadCRUT4 global 60 - month average temperatures at December 1855, December 1949 and July 2014.

In the figure, each line represents a central estimate of global average temperature rise (relative to the 1901 - 1960 average) for a specific emissions pathway.

The lines on the graph represent a central estimate of global average temperature rise (relative to the 1901 - 1960 average) for the two main scenarios used in this report.

While he represents that this fault lies in inconsistency of the predictions of the models with a global average surface air temperature time serties, the fault truely lies in our inability to statistically test the projections of these models.

With the possibility of global average temperatures rising by 2 - 4 °C this century, they conclude: «Amplified rates of human conflict could represent a large and critical impact of anthropogenic climate change.»

Try as I might, I can not in my wildest fantasise persuade myself that a Global Average Temperature of (say) 289.1 K (if such a thing even truly exists) represents our current Paradise and that any move to (say) 290.7 K will lead us to death destruction and extinction.

Another point that should be of lower probability is that of the usefulness a global temperature average to represent what the global climate is doing.

https://judithcurry.com/2016/02/10/are-land-sea-temperature-averages-meaningful/ Several of the major datasets that claim to represent «global average surface temperature» are directly or effectively averaging land air temperatures with sea surface temperatures.

But that data does not represent the global average temperature, so it is incorrect to state as fact for earth global mean temperature.

Two decades after the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, most governments have agreed that limiting the increase in the average surface temperature of the Earth to 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels would represent a tolerable amount of global warming.

I took me a long time, and lots of questions to warmists who gave evasive answers, to learn that «Global Average temperature» is not global, does not represent an average, and does not reflect temperGlobal Average temperature» is not global, does not represent an average, and does not reflect tempeAverage temperature» is not global, does not represent an average, and does not reflect temperglobal, does not represent an average, and does not reflect tempeaverage, and does not reflect temperature.

3) Any attempt to construct a single global or even Northern Hemisphere temperature covering many centuries will encounter substantial difficulties, as incomplete information from novel proxies will probably not adequately represent the extremes that are experienced at either end of the temperature spectrum, so what is considered the «average» is possibly representative of no climate state that actually ever existed.

This scale factor defines the bias introduced by a particular selection of ocean cores, failure of that distribution to represent a true global average, and various assumptions in converting the proxy data into a temperature change.
