average temperature change do not exceed a prescribed limit.

Third, using a «semi-empirical» statistical model calibrated to the relationship between
temperature and global sea - level
change over the last 2000 years, we find that, in alternative histories in which the 20th century
did not exceed the
average temperature over 500-1800 CE, global sea - level rise in the 20th century would (with > 95 % probability) have been less than 51 % of its observed value.

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.
The standstil of global

average temperature did not
change from 1985 (= mean 1980 - 1990) to 1999 (= mean 1994 to 2004).
You can choose to compare the mean

This is clear by your repeated confusion about how taking thousands of

As you can see, over periods of a few decades, modeled internal variability
does not cause surface
temperatures to
change by more than 0.3 °C, and over longer periods, such as the entire 20th Century, its transient warming and cooling influences tend to
average out, and internal variability
does not cause long - term
temperature trends.
Victor also points out that
average global surface
temperatures doesn't fully represent the
changing global climate.
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.
Back in 2009, at the United Nations (UN) Framework Convention on Climate

I don't believe climate scientists know any where near as much as they think they
do about «global
average temperature,» let alone the tenths of a degree
change per year they claim to detect.
He
did note that the free expansion leaves the
average KE per molecule the same — which I know that he knows means that the
temperature hasn't
changed (although the density certainly has).
As you know, on
average CO2 lags
temperature change by about 800 years (it varies depending on who
does it, the correlation is rather broad and flat, so the number is pretty squirrelly), it is untrue to suggest that natural fluctuations in CO2 always follow
temperature fluctuations.
Joshua: If there was no prediction for the first 12 years of the 21rst century, then it seems a bit misleading, in 2012, to say that we
do not have a demonstrated record of accuracy for predictions of
average temperature change for the 21rst century, or through 2050, or even through 2025.
Still other scientists insist that their data
do not show appreciable
changes in
average temperature anywhere over the course of the interval.
For the latter, one merely has to demonstrate either of two things: that CO2
does not indeed alter the thermal budget of the climate system such that increasing its concentration results in the trapping of more heat within that system, or that the negative feedbacks associated with CO2 - induced warming overwhelm the positive ones and result in a neutral or negative
change to the state of the climate's
average temperature.
Given that the
average global surface
temperature has not
changed by more than 0.26 °C from one year to the next, I thought that giving him a 0.5 °C margin of error was a generous offer, but alas, McLean
did not respond to my offer.

But the true climate
change deniers first had their way,
doing what is unforgiveable (or even fraudulent) in real science, by retrospectively
changing old data until it served their ends, by portraying the Earth as a place of Gaian perfection with only modest diversions from the supposed «
average»
temperature.
As we discussed in The Day After McLean,
average surface
temperatures simply don't
change from one year to the next by anywhere near the magnitude McLean predicted.
If the different methods are not analysing different definitions then why
do values of global
average surface
temperature (GASTA) from decades ago alter when the method is
changed from month to month: which is the right determination any of the ones before a
change or any of those after it?

In other words, regional
temperatures change, but the

While the
average earthly
temperature does climb in correlation to the amount of atmospheric carbon, people tend to rely on their observations of the weather to validate or repudiate the science behind climate
change.
Owing to its amplifying nature, Greenland and the Arctic are reacting stronger to any imposed forcing (has to
do with the
change in the Hadley circulation which depends on the
average temperature).
