Data from Church et al. (2011) recently updated this picture, showing that total
global heat content continues its steady climb upwards.
Not exact matches
Global surface temperatures have continued to rise steadily beneath short - term natural cooling effects, and the rise in global heat content has not slowed a
Global surface temperatures have
continued to rise steadily beneath short - term natural cooling effects, and the rise in
global heat content has not slowed a
global heat content has not slowed at all.
# 95 «It is difficult to accept the hypothesis that
global warming has stopped while ocean
heat content continues to increase.»
Also
global heat content of the ocean (which constitutes 85 % of the total warming) has
continued to rise strongly in this period, and ongoing warming of the climate system as a whole is supported by a very wide range of observations, as reported in the peer - reviewed scientific literature.
The bottom line is that all available ocean
heat content data show that the oceans and
global climate
continue to build up
heat at a rapid pace, consistent with the
global energy imbalance observed by satellites.
In the absence of changes to other climate forcings and assuming
continued rise of CO2 AGW would be falsified by falling / static ocean
heat content or falling / static
global average temperature.
Global surface temperatures have continued to rise steadily beneath short - term natural cooling effects, and the rise in global heat content has not slowed a
Global surface temperatures have
continued to rise steadily beneath short - term natural cooling effects, and the rise in
global heat content has not slowed a
global heat content has not slowed at all.
I'm very convinced that the physical process of
global warming is
continuing, which appears as a statistically significant increase of the
global surface and tropospheric temperature anomaly over a time scale of about 20 years and longer and also as trends in other climate variables (e.g.,
global ocean
heat content increase, Arctic and Antarctic ice decrease, mountain glacier decrease on average and others), and I don't see any scientific evidence according to which this trend has been broken, recently.
While the increase in
global temperature could indeed be stopped within decades by reducing emissions, ocean
heat content will
continue to increase for at least a thousand years after we have reached zero emissions.
A look at the Earth's total
heat content clearly shows
global warming has
continued past 1998.
The pedant in me strikes again: - Eric@Response @ 37 is saying that the
continuing rise in Ocean
Heat Content infers a
continuing global energy imbalance.
