While such a «missing heat» explanation for a lack of recent warming [i.e., Trenberth's argument that just can not find it yet] is theoretically possible, I find it rather unsatisfying basing an unwavering belief in eventual catastrophic global warming on a deep - ocean mechanism so weak we can't even measure it [i.e., the coldest deep ocean waters are actually warmer than they should be by thousandths of a degree]...

They are (1) the trend data inconclusiveness, (2) there are scientific grounds for eventual reduction of shear winds in a warming world, and (3) possible eventual temperature difference decreases in a warming world.

Increased delivery of warm ocean water into the sub-ice shelf cavity may therefore cause not only thinning but also structural weakening of the ice shelf, perhaps, as a prelude to eventual collapse.»

There is much that can still be done to reduce future climate impacts, and those efforts will depend far more on how quickly we can accelerate declines in the carbon intensity of the global economy than on what target we pick today for eventual warming.

Regardless of approach, all projections indicate an eventual sea ice - free Arctic with continued emissions of greenhouses gases, threatening the invaluable ecosystem service the Arctic sea ice provides while simultaneously exacerbating global warming.

A steady decline — and eventual cessation — of sunspot activity, which normally triggers with a cooling period on Earth, in this case coincides with the most rapid period of warming in human history with no sign of an end to the upward trend.

R Gates wrote: «What you seem to fail to realize though is that a few tenths of a degree of temperature spread out in the ocean equates to eventual huge temperatures in the atmosphere when that heat is released» ----------------------------------- By what possible mechanism can a release of heat from the ocean warm the atmosphere to a higher temperature than that of the ocean surface, as you seem to be implying?

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).

Then we can suggest that for every 1500 - 2000 GtCO2 we emit, we get another 1 C of eventual warming.

He is no stooge, and although the eventual spin will be «this doesn't effect the underlying science of global warming», CRU will not necessarily get a whitewash.

This is especially so in Australia, where the economic costs on a carbon - intensive economy are high (our main comparative advantage is in energy, minerals and energy - intensive metals processing; we provide a high proportion of world trade in such areas), and where any impact on eventual warming will be negligible.

As has been the case for recent COPs, commentators about achievements at COP - 17 are split on whether these negotiations accomplished some important positive steps toward an eventual meaningful global solution to climate change or whether Durban must be understood as another tragic international failure to come up with an adequate solution to the immense threat of human - induced warming.

In contrast, the 1000 GtC scenario, although nominally designed to yield a fast - feedback climate response of ∼ 2 °C, would yield a larger eventual warming because of slow feedbacks, probably at least 3 °C.

This eventual release of buried gases and heat from the oceans is sometimes called the «warming in the pipeline» or «warming commitment» that people will eventually have to contend with, Romanou said.

This eventual release of buried gases and heat from the ocean is sometimes called the «warming in the pipeline» or «warming commitment.»

While known solar variations are less significant than the expected effects of enhanced greenhouse warming, they could either slow, for a time, or accelerate its eventual impact.

Doug MacMartin, David Keith and I wrote a paper in 2014 discussing how people might be motivated to use solar geoengineering to limit rates of warming, but not eventual amounts of warming, and also discussing how a solar geoengineering deployment might be phased out if society concluded that the solar geoengineering was not improving environmental outcomes:

Regarding the sensitivity of the climate to the increased greenhouse effect, Dessler pointed out that the 2014 IPCC report matched the 2001, 1995, and 1990 reports, estimating an eventual global surface warming of 1.5 — 4.5 °C in response to a doubling of atmospheric carbon dioxide.
