So, if we took out the effects of both volcanoes,
the change in mean global surface temperatures between the two decades would have been about 0.015 K (2 %) higher, and the increase in the change in -LCB- forcing net of OHU -RCB- would have been about 0.03 W / m ^ 2 (also 2 %) higher.

Changes in mean global ocean pH / pCO2, due to uptake of anthropogenic CO2, will reduce pH (ca − 0.3 to 0.5 units / 500 + µatm), and global warming will contribute to increased sea surface temperature (+1.1 to 6.4 °C), by 2100 [1 — 4,7].

[Response: Alastair, I did not
mean to say you were confused, but often people mix up
global mean changes with the abrupt regional
changes seen e.g.
in the Greenland ice cores.
As alluded to
in our post, one important issue is the possibility that
changes in El Nino may have significantly offset opposite temperature variations
in the extratropics, moderating the influence of the extratropical «Little Ice Age» and «Medieval Warm Period» on hemispheric or
global mean temperatures (e.g. Cobb et al (2003).
While ECS is the equilibrium
global mean temperature
change that eventually results from atmospheric CO2 doubling, the smaller TCR refers to the
global mean temperature
change that is realised at the time of CO2 doubling under an idealised scenario
in which CO2 concentrations increase by 1 % yr — 1 (Cubasch et al., 2001; see also Section 8.6.2.1).
The team increased one forcing agent (see sidebar)
in a climate model, for example carbon dioxide, and decreased another, say methane, so that
global mean temperature didn't
change.
The
global mean temperature rise of less than 1 degree C
in the past century does not seem like much, but it is associated with a winter temperature rise of 3 to 4 degrees C over most of the Arctic
in the past 20 years, unprecedented loss of ice from all the tropical glaciers, a decrease of 15 to 20 %
in late summer sea ice extent, rising sealevel, and a host of other measured signs of anomalous and rapid climate
change.
[T] he idea that the sun is currently driving climate
change is strongly rejected by the world's leading authority on climate science, the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which found in its latest (2013) report that «There is high confidence that changes in total solar irradiance have not contributed to the increase in global mean surface temperature over the period 1986 to 2008, based on direct satellite measurements of total solar irradiance.&

Today we understand the impact of human activities on
global mean temperature very well; however, high - impact extreme weather events are where the socio - economic impacts of a
changing climate manifest itself and where our understanding is more
in its infancy but nevertheless developing at pace.

Global annual
mean radiative influences (W m — 2) of LGM climate
change agents, generally feedbacks
in glacial - interglacial cycles, but also specified
in most Atmosphere - Ocean General Circulation Model (AOGCM) simulations for the LGM.
This metric was examined to identify
global and regional patterns
in fire weather season length
changes as well as
changes in the frequency of, and the area affected by, long fire weather seasons (defined as > 1.0 σ above historical
mean) over the last 35 years.
A shifting
mean (as
in warming
global temperatures) leads to large
changes at the extremes.
On shorter time scales, however,
changes in heat storage (i.e., ocean heat uptake or release) can affect
global mean temperature.
He then uses what information is available to quantify (
in Watts per square meter) what radiative terms drive that temperature
change (for the LGM this is primarily increased surface albedo from more ice / snow cover, and also
changes in greenhouse gases... the former is treated as a forcing, not a feedback; also, the orbital variations which technically drive the process are rather small
in the
global mean).
To contribute to an understanding of the underlying causes of these
changes we compile various environmental records (and model - based interpretations of some of them)
in order to calculate the direct effect of various processes on Earth's radiative budget and, thus, on
global annual
mean surface temperature over the last 800,000 years.
ECS is defined
in terms of
global mean temperature
change, not separately for land and ocean.
Yet the paper states that «The best - fitting model (ECS = 2.4 K) reproduces well the reconstructed
global mean cooling of 2.2 K...» I assume the difference is that the
global mean cooling cited
in the paper includes the contribution of SST
change, which, according to MARGO, is -1.9 ± 1.8 °C, whereas the -3.3 or -3.5 °C is for SAT.
The 3.5 deg C cooling is the
global mean SAT
change in the ECS = 2.35 model version.
Abstract:» The sensitivity of
global climate with respect to forcing is generally described
in terms of the
global climate feedback — the
global radiative response per degree of
global annual
mean surface temperature
change.
The rate of
change of the theoretical
mean sea level from year to year is not constant either, due to
changing rate of the
global sea level rise and
changes in the Baltic Sea water balance.
Using a statistical model calibrated to the relationship between
global mean temperature and rates of GSL
change over this time period, we are assessing the human role
in historic sea - level rise and identifying human «fingerprints» on coastal flood events.
The occasion of the conference provides an opportunity to place sustainable land management (SLM), land tenure, LDN, and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
in a regional and
global context, providing the
means to enhance or adapted underlying theoretical paradigms, encourage the radical renewal of research methods and the validity of environmental
change predictions, as well as to strengthen the integration between social and environmental branches of geography.
The study examines permafrost carbon emissions
in various climate models and under different scenarios, finding that the extra boost to warming from thawing permafrost could be 0.2 - 12 % of the
change in global mean temperature.
Here's the problem forests and forest managers face under climate
change: Increasing
global mean temperatures,
changes in precipitation, and the hydrologic cycle are expected to lead to temperature and drought stress for many tree species.
First let's define the «equilibrium climate sensitivity» as the «equilibrium
change in global mean surface temperature following a doubling of the atmospheric (equivalent) CO2 concentration.
