Human induced trend has two components, namely (a) greenhouse effect [this includes global and local / regional component] and (b) non-greenhouse effect [local / regional component]-- according to IPCC (a) is more than half of global average temperature anomaly wherein it also includes component of volcanic activities, etc that comes under greenhouse effect; and (b) contribution is less than half — ecological changes component but this is biased positive side by urban - heat - island effect component as the met network are concentrated in urban areas and rural - cold - island effect is biased negative side as the met stations are sparsely distributed though rural area is more than double to urban area.

If it is correct that you can only attribute changes in mean temperature to heat waves it ought to be the change in the local mean, for example the anomaly in a particular region for a particular month averaged over, say, the last decade.

So the intensity of radiation (at some frequency and polarization) changes over distance, such that, in the direction the intensity is going, it is always approaching the blackbody value (Planck function) for the local temperature; it approaches this quickly if the absorption cross section density is high; if the cross section density is very high and the temperature doesn't vary much over distance, the intensity may be nearly equal to the Planck function for that location; otherwise its value is a weighted average of the Planck function of local temperature extending back over the path in the direction it came from.

GMST has the essential virtue that it tells more directly about the influence, but the average is not important in that but the local changes.

People are affected far more by local weather extremes than by any change in global average temperature.

Study shows China's severe weather patterns changing drastically since 1960 In one of the most comprehensive studies on trends in local severe weather patterns to date, an international team of researchers found that the frequency of hail storms, thunderstorms and high wind events has decreased by nearly 50 percent on average throughout China since 1960.

Sure, according to averaged, world - wide records it got a bit warmer and then stopped, but ask any sane middle - aged person whether they feel that their local climate has changed in any kind of devastating way in their lifetime, and they will say no.

Salinity changes within the ocean also have a significant impact on the local density and thus local sea level, but have little effect on global average sea level change.

This skill must be assessed by predicting global, regional and local average climate, and any climate change that was observed over the last several decades (i.e. «hindcast model predictions»).

The assumption of a global annual average increase in the coming decades +1 C and +2 C, is of little use in defining changes in climate impacts at the regional and local scale, which are so dependent in how large scale circulation features would change in the coming decades.

As someone who is not well versed in the methods discussed above by Paul Dunmore, HAS, Nebuchadnezzar, and Pekka, I would like input from any of them on what they presume might be the value of estimating global temperature changes in a manner not involving the grids or other forms of local averaging.

Oerlemans and Fortuin (1992) derived an empirical relationship between the mass balance sensitivity of a glacier to temperature change and the local average precipitation, which is the principal factor determining its mass turnover rate.

Guest essay by Jim Steele, Director emeritus Sierra Nevada Field Campus, San Francisco State University For researchers like myself examining the effect of local microclimates on the ecology of local wildlife, the change in the global average is an absolutely useless measure.

Once such an IPCC exposition of the assumptions, complications and uncertainties of climate models was constructed and made public, it would immediately have to lead, in my view, to more questions from the informed public such as what does calculating a mean global temperature change mean to individuals who have to deal with local conditions and not a global average and what are the assumptions, complications and uncertainties that the models contain when it comes to determining the detrimental and beneficial effects of a «global» warming in localized areas of the globe.

They happen to be a transformation that partials out the local variation from a base climate (ultimately derived from absolute measures and no doubt subject to change as stations come and go) and it therefore depends on a second hidden (but known) averaging process for its accuracy.

At last, a responsible government has recognised that global average sea - level change is no more relevant to coastal management than average global temperatures are to the design of residential heating and cooling systems — local weather and local sea - level change is what matters.

Understanding your current average national contribution in tons of carbon per person per year is the basis for understanding and changing not just your personal choices, but your local and national systemic issues necessary for getting to sustainable carbon levels.

As in the allegory, a «global average» temperature obscures critical dynamics that are best understood by examining local causes of «regional climate» change.

BTW, on both mathematical and physical grounds, there is even less basis for expecting truly abrupt changes in global average temperatures than in local ones.

As it turns out, estimates of globally averaged sea level rise in the 20th century are irrelevant since Tuvalu's local sea level change is very different from the globally averaged change.

The point is that getting the average surface temperature requires a lot more sampling, and requires accounting for local spatial changes (topo, vegetative, etc.) that getting the surface temperature anomaly does not.

To plan for the future, people need to know how their local conditions will change, not how the average global temperature will climb.

Changes in Earth's rotation from the redistribution of mass as the ice melts and ocean responds also contribute slightly to local deviations from the global average.
