Nights Aren't Cooling As Much As They Used To Interestingly, the study also found that part of the reason for the 2:1 ratio can be attributed to comparatively smaller numbers of record lows than huge numbers of record highs — indicating that much of current warming is occurring at night, something which is «consistent with years of climate model research.»

However, it is consistent with our current understanding of the climate: ocean heat is exchanged with the atmosphere, which causes surface warming, which alters atmospheric circulation, which alters cloud cover, which impacts surface temperature.

Previous large natural oscillations are important to examine: however, 1) our data isn't as good with regards to external forcings or to historical temperatures, making attribution more difficult, 2) to the extent that we have solar and volcanic data, and paleoclimate temperature records, they are indeed fairly consistent with each other within their respective uncertainties, and 3) most mechanisms of internal variability would have different fingerprints: eg, shifting of warmth from the oceans to the atmosphere (but we see warming in both), or simultaneous warming of the troposphere and stratosphere, or shifts in global temperature associated with major ocean current shifts which for the most part haven't been seen.

This empirical finding contradicts Spencer's hypothesis that cloud cover changes are driving global warming, but is consistent with our current understanding of the climate: ocean heat is exchanged with the atmosphere, which causes surface warming, which alters atmospheric circulation, which alters cloud cover, which impacts surface temperature.

The current rate of warming is quite consistent with a climate senistivity of 3 deg (for 2x Co2)

According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, these stabilization targets are consistent with keeping eventual mean projected global warming to about 1.5 oC and 2.5 oC above current levels, respectively (this would be on top of temperatures rises of about 0.75 oC over the last century).

The Euro - American period, which began 500 years ago and extends to the current day, shows records of forests responding in a manner consistent with a warming period.

I agree with Mike [Mann] that the weak steering currents over the south - central US coincident with Harvey are consistent with our expectations for a warmer world, which of course includes effects of a very warm Arctic.»

«I agree with Mike [Mann] that the weak steering currents over the south - central US coincident with Harvey are consistent with our expectations for a warmer world, which of course includes effects of a very warm Arctic,» Jennifer Francis, a climate scientist at Rutgers University, told ThinkProgress.

The results of this study are consistent with the wide body of evidence supporting the settled science that human greenhouse gas emissions are the dominant cause of the current global warming.

That the current temperature plateau follows a late 20th - century period of warming is consistent with the continuation today of natural multi-decadal or millennial climate cycling.

Yes, it may in fact be less than that, but even considering all net warming over ~ 160 years is due to human forcing, the sensitivity consistent with our best estimates of current forcing is a conservative estimate for public policy... the sensitivity may be lower, but it is unlikely to be much higher.

That current temperature plateau follows a late - 20th century period of warming consistent with... natural multi-decadal or millenial climate warming.»

Current results continue to be fairly consistent with my personal theory, that man - made CO2 may add 0.5 - 1C to global temperatures over the next century (below alarmist estimates), but that this warming may be swamped at times by natural climactic fluctuations that alarmists tend to under - estimate.
