In 1990, he joined with a colleague, Roy Spencer, to use measurements taken by NASA satellites since 1979 to produce the first global atmospheric temperature data.

Water takes longer to heat up and cool down than does the air or land, so ocean warming is considered to be a better indicator of global warming than measurements of global atmospheric temperatures at the Earth's surface.

It is entirely likely that causes such as fluctuations in the sun's intensity and volcanic eruptions may have contributed to a change in the global atmospheric temperature.

New measurements by NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies indicate that 2012 was the ninth warmest year since 1880, and that the past decade or so has seen some of the warmest years in the last 132 years.One way to illustrate changes in global atmospheric temperatures is by looking at how far temperatures stray from «normal», or a baseline.

The research, by Chris de Freitas, a climate scientist at the University of Auckland in New Zealand, John McLean (Melbourne) and Bob Carter (James Cook University), finds that the El Niño - Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is a key indicator of global atmospheric temperatures seven months later.

Droplets can persist for months to years leading to small decreases in global atmospheric temperatures.

If all this massive amount of energy was first all there in the atmosphere in 1979, even if it was «siphoned off» a little at a time by the oceans until 2000, then the global atmospheric temperature during that time would have been hotter on the order of 15 degrees C. (By that Sherwood and Huber paper in 2010, it would have meant typical summertime afternoon heat and humidity measures like heat indexes probably around 200 degrees F where most of humanity now inhabits.

They are ignoring the issue of scale and erroneously believe that the greenhouse effect and not the oceans sets the global atmospheric temperature.

They are ignoring the issue of scale and erroneously believe that the greenhouse effect and not the oceans set the global atmospheric temperature.

Consequently to be able to affect us adversely any extra atmospheric warming effect of CO2 would need to be able to warm up the oceans in order to make any difference to global atmospheric temperature.

However, it appears that keeping atmospheric carbon dioxide to a level that maintains a global atmospheric temperature below the threshold at which frozen methane deposits are released would be a prudent goal for mankind to pursue.

At the time of the 1979 report, there were no comprehensive measurements of global atmospheric temperatures, or water vapor, to confirm or deny this educated guess that water vapor would cause a more powerful warming.

The international agreements forming the IPCC and the UNFCCC were designed to prevent greenhouse gas warming of the atmosphere, and as those agreements were hammered out, two American scientists, Roy Spencer and John Christy, developed a method that uses data collected from weather satellites to produce science's first comprehensive measure of global atmospheric temperatures.
