Previous large natural oscillations are important to examine: however, 1) our
data isn't as good with regards to external forcings or to historical
temperatures, making attribution more difficult, 2) to the extent that we have solar and volcanic
data, and paleoclimate
temperature records, they are indeed fairly consistent with each other within their respective uncertainties, and 3) most mechanisms of internal variability would have different fingerprints: eg, shifting of warmth from the
oceans to the atmosphere (but we see warming in both), or simultaneous warming of the troposphere and stratosphere, or shifts in
global temperature associated with major
ocean current shifts which for the most part haven't been seen.
In the present study, satellite altimetric height and historically available in situ

So, perhaps, it should be no surprise that in a June 2015 article in Science magazine, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) authors attempted to eliminate the pause in warming by ignoring their own satellite
data and introducing new
global ocean surface
temperature sets whose readings are taken from buoys and engine - intakes on vessels.
This is consistent with the comparison by Roemmich and Gilson (2009) of Argo
data with the
global temperature time - series of Levitus et al (2005), finding a warming of the 0 — 2000 m

All of these characteristics (except for the
ocean temperature) have been used in SAR and TAR IPCC (Houghton et al. 1996; 2001) reports for model -
data inter-comparison: we considered as tolerable the following intervals for the annual means of the following climate characteristics which encompass corresponding empirical estimates:
global SAT 13.1 — 14.1 °C (Jones et al. 1999); area of sea ice in the Northern Hemisphere 6 — 14 mil km2 and in the Southern Hemisphere 6 — 18 mil km2 (Cavalieri et al. 2003); total precipitation rate 2.45 — 3.05 mm / day (Legates 1995); maximum Atlantic northward heat transport 0.5 — 1.5 PW (Ganachaud and Wunsch 2003); maximum of North Atlantic meridional overturning stream function 15 — 25 Sv (Talley et al. 2003), volume averaged
ocean temperature 3 — 5 °C (Levitus 1982).
A slight change of
ocean temperature (after a delay caused by the high specific heat of water, the annual mixing of thermocline waters with deeper waters in storms) ensures that rising CO2 reduces infrared absorbing H2O vapour while slightly increasing cloud cover (thus Earth's albedo), as evidenced by the fact that the NOAA
data from 1948 - 2008 shows a fall in
global humidity (not the positive feedback rise presumed by NASA's models!)

One of the main limitations of Cowtan and Way (in press), which we highlighted in the paper and has been echoed by others, is that the
