The IPCC states that the modern warming decadal warming, +0.55 °C, was at least 50 % caused by humans - thus, it is highly likely that natural climate forces were responsible for the other 50 %, say a +0.27 °C of the modern warming.
According to Dr. Natali, «Our results show that while permafrost degradation increased carbon uptake during the growing season, in line with decadal trends of «greening» tundra, warming and permafrost thaw also enhanced winter respiration, which doubled annual carbon losses.»
«Over the past millennium, late 20th century snowpack reductions are almost unprecedented in magnitude across the northern Rocky Mountains and in their north - south synchrony across the cordillera... the snowpack declines and their synchrony result from unparalleled springtime warming that is due to positive reinforcement of the anthropogenic warming by decadal variability.
