Over time, MFS has been a leading innovator in the asset management industry, including creating one of the first in - house research departments in the mutual fund industry in 1932, launching the first high - yield municipal bond fund and
the first global balanced fund, and more recently creating «outcome - oriented» products, such as its line of target - risk, target - date, and other asset allocation strategies.

Thus there is convection within the troposphere that (to a
first approximation) tends to sustain some lapse rate profile within the layer — that itself can vary as a function of climate (and height, location, time), but given any relative temperature distribution within the layer (including horizontal and temporal variations and relationship to variable CSD contributors (water vapor, clouds)-RRB-, the temperature of the whole layer must shift to
balance radiative fluxes into and out of the layer (in the
global time averae, and in the approximation of zero
global time average convection above the troposphere), producing a PRt2 (in the
global time average) equal to RFt2.
That it is possible to construct a metric that doesn't show regional warming in a certain roughly specified region on a certain unspecified time scale with a certain unspecified statistical technique in no way contradicts the assertion that the

first order agreement with theoretical, computational, and paleoclimate evidence.
Neither Gelbspan nor anyone repeating his accusation ever proved the money trail led to an industry directive to lie about
global warming science; none of them have proved skeptic climate scientists were instructed to mimic tobacco industry tactics; journalists have demonstrably not offered overall fair
balance in to skeptic climate scientists; the «wedge» being driven is one arguably pounded by enviro - activists who push the «skeptics don't deserve fair media
balance» talking point; and Gelbspan was not the
first one to bring up this talking point.
Real Climate defines climate forcings as «the changes that affect the energy

balance data are transformed to sea - level equivalent by
first multiplying the ice thickness (meters) lost to melting by the density of ice (about 900 kilograms per cubic meter), to obtain a water equivalent thickness, and then multiplying by the surface area of these «small» glaciers (about 760,000 square kilometers).
