Well, a new season calls for a wardrobe change, and there are a number of
cool trends in store for us this year.
So the point to remember when considering short
term cooling trends in surface temperature records is that the atmosphere is only one small part of a planet which is in energy imbalance.
In fact, a number of independent measurements of solar activity indicate the sun has shown a
slight cooling trend since 1960, over the same period that global temperatures have been warming.
Various independent measurements of solar activity all confirm the sun has shown a slight
cooling trend since 1978.
Put this another way: are there any models out there showing a consistent
cooling trend over the next 30 - 50 years?
The 35 million
year cooling trend increasingly restricted reef - building corals to more tropical latitudes where winter water temperatures remain above 16 to 18 °C.
Since the last of the continental ice sheet melted over 10,000 years ago the world has warmed for about 5,000 years and has been on a
long cooling trend ever since.
For increases in solar radiation, we would expect to see warming of the stratosphere rather than the
observed cooling trend.
Never mind: they can move onto some other argument for a while and then it'll be time for the autumn -
winter cooling trend - party - time!
So the removal of these faster warming dropped stations has actually imposed a slight
cooling trend although the difference is negligible since 1970.
Recent measurements of global temperatures suggest a
gradual cooling trend since 1998 and 2007 - 2008 was a year of sharp global cooling.
There would appear to have been a
clear cooling trend in the northern hemisphere around the pole since at least 2007 and most likely for longer.
Be the first to rock this
quirky cool trend and start wearing them now with a crisp leather jacket and some hot knee - high boots.
It's not settled, but a
huge cooling trend in the near future seems well beyond the constraints we have.
One gets the sense from looking at their reconstruction that there is a very strong imprint of this
orbital cooling trend — stronger than what one would expect for the global annual average.
Beats me, but there is reason why the sites are showing a
fake cooling trend that is getting worse over time.
A glance at the millennium temperatures seems to show a
pre-existing cooling trend, and there's a lot of variability between estimates and over time.
