We present a new modeling system that predicts both internal variability and externally forced
changes and hence forecasts surface temperature with
substantially improved skill throughout a decade, both globally and
in many
regions.
Research indicates that the Arctic had
substantially less sea ice during this period compared to present Current desert
regions of Central Asia were extensively forested due to higher rainfall, and the warm temperate forest belts
in China and Japan were extended northwards West African sediments additionally record the «African Humid Period», an interval between 16,000 and 6,000 years ago when Africa was much wetter due to a strengthening of the African monsoon While there do not appear to have been significant temperature
changes at most low latitude sites, other climate
changes have been reported.
The study is the first to show that
changes in winds
in the stratosphere
substantially contributed to a mysterious winter cooling trend
in northern Europe and Asia, including a
region already known for being frigid: Siberia.
A
change in ocean heat content can also alter patterns of ocean circulation, which can have far - reaching effects on global climate conditions, including
changes to the outcome and pattern of meteorological events such as tropical storms, and also temperatures
in the northern Atlantic
region, which are strongly influenced by currents that may be
substantially reduced with CO2 increase
in the atmosphere.

This is an average value;
in some
regions with rapid development, UHI and LULC
change impacts on regional trends may be
substantially larger.
Some
regions show a sea level rise
substantially more than the global average (
in many cases of more than twice the average), and others a sea level fall (Table 11.15)(note that these figures do not include sea level rise due to land ice
changes).
