Arbetter, 4.7, Statistical A statistical model using regional observations of sea ice area and global NCEP air temperature, sea level pressure, and freezing degree day estimates continues the trend of projecting below - average summer sea ice conditions for the Arctic.

Also global heat content of the ocean (which constitutes 85 % of the total warming) has continued to rise strongly in this period, and ongoing warming of the climate system as a whole is supported by a very wide range of observations, as reported in the peer - reviewed scientific literature.

As someone who won't accept the global warming mantra I can often be discouraged by the persistent abuse, be it in the small form «science - denier» or the worse «Big oil shill» and up to «you are killing our grandchildren» but I keep heart that the observation will continue to diverge from the prediction and someone will eventually shout loud enough... «but he's not wearing any clothes».

Evidence of continued global warming is based on past observations of climate change and our knowledge of the climate system's response to heat - trapping gases.

This time period is too short to signify a change in the warming trend, as climate trends are measured over periods of decades, not years.12, 29,30,31,32 Such decade - long slowdowns or even reversals in trend have occurred before in the global instrumental record (for example, 1900 - 1910 and 1940 - 1950; see Figure 2.2), including three decade - long periods since 1970, each followed by a sharp temperature rise.33 Nonetheless, satellite and ocean observations indicate that the Earth - atmosphere climate system has continued to gain heat energy.34

IGBP will continue many of its successful approaches to implementation from its first phase including: building research networks to tackle focused scientific questions; promoting standard methods; undertaking long timeseries observations; guiding and facilitating construction of global databases; establishing common data policies to promote data sharing; undertaking model inter-comparisons and comparisons with data; and coordinating complex, multi-national field campaigns and experiments.

Global average air temperatures have increased relatively slowly since a high point in 1998 caused by the ocean phenomenon El Niño, but observations show that heat is continuing to be trapped in increasing amounts by greenhouse gases, with over 90 % disappearing into the oceans.
