Changes in flow patterns of warm Pacific Ocean air from the south were driving earlier spring snowmelt, while decreasing summer sea ice had the greatest influence on later onset of snowpack in the fall.

The earlier study — which used pre-industrial temperature proxies to analyze historical climate patterns — ruled out, with more than 99 % certainty, the possibility that global warming in the industrial era is just a natural fluctuation in Earth's climate.

«This finding,» says Zhang, «provides important insights into patterns of oceanic environmental change and their underlying causes, which were ultimately linked to intense climate warming during the Early Triassic.»

In late 2010 and early 2011, the continent Down Under received about twice its normal complement of rain, thanks in large part to unusually warm sea - surface temperatures just north of Australia and a particularly strong La Niña — in essence, combining a source of warm humid air with the weather patterns that steered the moisture over the continent where it condensed and fell as precipitation.

This pattern, of a warm West and cool East, continued into early spring.

This single - year snapshot of the planet's warmth fits with the pattern of ever - warmer temperatures that has been in place over the past century, particularly since the early 1980s as the warming fueled by an accumulation of greenhouse gases clearly emerged.

While weather patterns have a big impact on monthly temperatures — as the cooler weather of early August shows — the overall warming of the planet is tipping the odds in favor of record heat.

The early 20th century warming is a good parallel to the questions asked here: that warming is also seen in Dave's time series (fig. 3), and its pattern also suggests a role of the North Atlantic (see Delworth's cited paper).

It's hard to find an explanation for the global temperature record in the El Niño / La Niña Southern Oscillation (ENSO), although that climatic oscillation did play a major role in influencing weather patterns worldwide throughout 2010, as ENSO switched from a warm El Niño in early 2010 to a powerful La Niña somewhere from July — showing little interest in the intermediate.

The similarity of the pattern with the early twentieth century warming is interesting though.

And remember, the satellite data are one small part of a vast amount of data that overwhelmingly show our planet is warming up: retreating glaciers, huge amounts of ice melting at both poles, the «death spiral» of arctic ice every year at the summer minimum over time, earlier annual starts of warm weather and later starts of cold weather, warming oceans, rising sea levels, ocean acidification, more extreme weather, changing weather patterns overall, earlier snow melts, and lower snow cover in the spring...

Owing to the decreased number of spatial degrees of freedom in the earliest reconstructions (associated with significantly decreased calibrated variance before e.g. 1730 for annual - mean and cold - season, and about 1750 for warm - season pattern reconstructions) regional inferences are most meaningful in the mid 18th century and later, while the largest - scale averages are useful further back in time.

«Taking these ten locations from across the globe andsuperimposing the anomaly data produced a sine wave - like pattern with distinct cooling from the early 1940s to mid-1970s followed by warming to present; for many of the locations the older data was warmer, or at least as warm as present.

I was flattered when he asked me to review one of his early papers on the historic pattern of atmospheric CO2 and its relationship to global warming.

Increased weed and pest pressure associated with longer growing seasons and warmer winters will be an increasingly important challenge; there are already examples of earlier arrival and increased populations of some insect pests such as corn earworm.64 Furthermore, many of the most aggressive weeds, such as kudzu, benefit more than crop plants from higher atmospheric carbon dioxide, and become more resistant to herbicide control.72 Many weeds respond better than most cash crops to increasing carbon dioxide concentrations, particularly «invasive» weeds with the so - called C3 photosynthetic pathway, and with rapid and expansive growth patterns, including large allocations of below - ground biomass, such as roots.73 Research also suggests that glyphosate (for example, Roundup), the most widely - used herbicide in the United States, loses its efficacy on weeds grown at the increased carbon dioxide levels likely to occur in the coming decades.74 To date, all weed / crop competition studies where the photosynthetic pathway is the same for both species favor weed growth over crop growth as carbon dioxide is increased.72

The regional patterns of the warming that occurred in the early part of the 20th century were different than those that occurred in the latter part.

While there may well be differences in the regional character of the arctic warming of the early 20th century, and the arctic warming of the late 20th century, I don't think that Dr. Meier really answered Mr. Goddard's question about the possibility of a cyclic pattern in both warming periods.

Those that understand these pattern swings readily replace peas with things like pumpkins and Spring wheat when early Springs are warm.

Last summer, we predicted that come this winter, any type of severe weather event was going to be linked to pernicious industrial activity (via global warming) through a new mechanism that had become a media darling — the loss of late summer / early fall Arctic sea ice leading to more persistent patterns in the jet stream.

Climate scientists Charles Greene and Bruce Monger of Cornell University, writing earlier this year in Oceanography, provided evidence that Arctic icemelts linked to global warming contribute to the very atmospheric pattern that sent the frigid burst down across Canada and the eastern U.S.
