(d) Cowtan & Way (2013); England et al. (2014); Santer et al (2014); and Rosenfeld (2014); all provide solid evidence that
the current mean global temperature has been masked by such causes as: limited data; the negative phase of the PDO cycle; volcanoes, and aerosols, respectively.

Our modelled values are consistent with

Because the long - term warming trends are highly significant relative to our estimates of the magnitude of natural variability, the
current decadal period of stable
global mean temperature does nothing to alter a fundamental conclusion from the AR4: warming has unequivocally been observed and documented.
Our
current «best guess» is that the
global mean changes in
temperature (including the 1940 - 1970 cooling) are actually quite closely related to the forcings.
We still don't expect each year to be warmer than the last due to the intrinsic variability («weather») in
global mean temperature (around 0.1 to 0.2 °C), but at the
current rate of
global warming (~ 0.17 °C / decade), new records can be expected relatively frequently.
Yes Wilt, the «
global mean temperature anomaly ceased increasing» (in) the mid nineties, just as it did in the mid-every-decade since 1900, but «ceased increasing BY...» implies that it never resumed increasing, maybe you need a longer term view — or maybe we'll be fine because we can assume from the trend a «ceasation of increase» by the middle of the
current decade?
-- What's the

why don't you compare the IPCC 2001
global temperature rise predictions to
current global means (year averages or rolling averages — whatever you want).
The
current (as of 12 December) analysis shows that confirmed proposals would cause a rise in expected
mean global temperature of 3.9 °C (7.0 °F) above pre-industrial levels by 2100.
In the standards for middle school, for example, one of the core ideas is that «human activities, such as the release of greenhouse gases from burning fossil fuels, are major factors in the
current rise in Earth's
mean surface
temperature («
global warming»).»
Global mean temperature also stood still in the eighties and nineties for 18 years, the same length of time the
current hiatus has existed.
For example,
current models predict that a doubling of carbon dioxide should result in
global mean temperature increases of anywhere from 2.5 to 7.5 F.
This despite the fact that such a «forcing» should have, according to the
current paradigm, lead to
global mean temperatures about 68 degrees colder than the present, which would have lead to a completely frozen Earth, with the
mean temperature at about 54 degrees below the freezing point of water.
Clearly, models that could pass the Anagnostopoulos 2010 test would be better models, but that doesn't
mean that the
current models aren't skillful at predicting or hindcasting
global temperature trends.

He evidently is not too literate in
global warming theory either because he tries to explain the
current non-warming period by saying that the ``...
current stand - still of the 5 - year running
mean global temperature may be largely a consequence of the fact that the first half of the past 10 years had predominantly El Nino conditions, and the second half had predominantly La Nina conditions.»
Geologist Dr. David Deming: «If the
current cooling trend continues, the theory of
global warming faces imminent extinction» — Deming: «The
mean global temperature has not risen in 17 years and has been slowly falling for approximately the past 10 years» — «Falling
temperatures are giving climate alarmists chills»
The
current day energy input is μ = 1 with a
global mean temperature of 287.7 degrees Kelvin.
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).
BC17 derive a relationship in

I say the
current global mean temperature record for 1998 for hadcrut3 will not be exceeded in the next three years (2012, 2013 & 2014).
Some 210 million years ago, the CO2 level is estimated to have been 5 times the
current level, and the
mean global temperature was estimated to have been 5 C warmer than now (20 C compared to 15 C assumed as today's
global mean temperature).
In the
current environment warmer
temperatures in Arctic stations are being extended over a wide area to imply a higher
global mean.
We consider several important climate impacts and use evidence from
current observations to assess the effect of 0.8 °C warming and paleoclimate data for the effect of larger warming, especially the Eemian period, which had
global mean temperature about +2 °C relative to pre-industrial time.
(A) What is causing the
current flatline in
global mean temperature?
For Europe, only minor biome - level shifts are projected for Mediterranean vegetation types (Parry, 2000), contrasting with between 60 and 80 % of
current species projected not to persist in the southern European Mediterranean region (
global mean temperature increase of 1.8 °C — Bakkenes et al., 2002).
Ross — with respect, what do you feel the correct null hypothesis is for
current global mean temperature and it's change over the industrial era?
Human activities, such as the release of greenhouse gases from burning fossil fuels, are major factors in the
current rise in Earth's
mean surface
temperature (
global warming).
Given
current emissions trajectories, there is a chance that the
temperature increase by 2100 could be near 6oC.21 The last time Earth exhibited a
global mean temperature that high, what are now sagebrush grasslands in the southwestern Wyoming and Utah were covered by subtropical, closed canopy forests interspersed with open woodlands (Townsend et al., 2010), reminiscent of subtropical areas in Central America today.
After all, even the EPA's own lawyers, non-scientist professional bureaucratic infighters that they are, seem to recognize that if Mother Nature could, in pre-industrial times, raise the earth's
global mean temperature to levels approaching today's levels — but without the benefit of having that additional 100 ppm of atmospheric CO2 with which to force the increase — then key parts of
current AGW theory can be called into question, even the climate prediction models.
And I'm not sure how you can say that their predictions of the
current global mean temperature are not of importance to the predictions that matter.
«The
current cooling trend in
global mean temperature has amounted only to about 0.1 Co per decade since its initiation in the mid-1940s.»
Climate models provide a
means to derive such a link, under the assumption that the
current generation of climate models captures the essence of the signature of oceanic variability on the
global mean temperature.
Here is what the
current global mean temperature anomaly trend would look like.
Note that regional
mean anomalies (in particular
global anomalies) are not computed from the
current absolute
mean and the 1951 - 80
mean for that region, but from station
temperature anomalies.
Although the surface
temperature prescription is limited to only 8.2 % of the
global surface, our model reproduces the annual -
mean global temperature remarkably well with correlation coefficient r = 0.97 for 1970 — 2012 (which includes the
current hiatus and a period of accelerated
global warming).
Hence, we can now combine those 18 years when
global mean temperature was constant with the
current hiatus and find that the last 33 years have been entirely greenhouse free.
So I strongly encourage you to look at the evidence of
current impacts (e.g. impacts as described in IPCC WG2, US National Climate Assessment, etc.), rather than apparently dismissing
global mean temperature changes to date just because the number looks small.
