Bob, I think the notion of a modern grand maximum which provides a hand - waving mechanism for natural variability to explain all the global warming that occurred late last century is hard for AGW skeptics to give up.

Case in point: you point out how a CENTURY of global warming is borne out in the atmosphere, the cryosphere, the ocean temperature, and in sea level rise ALL YOUR OPPONENT needs to say is that the last 18 years doesn't look like «warming» for the atmosphere above 15,000 feet (which, btw, WHAT atmosphere?)

If the warming trend of the early 20th century had continued (it didn't) until the end of the 21st century (2099), global temperatures would have increased by +1.92 °C; yet despite the huge modern era CO2 spike, if the warming trend represented by the last 3 decades continued (it won't), the increase by 2099 would only be +1.72 °C.

The prominent upward trend in the GM precipitation occurring in the last century and the notable strengthening of the global monsoon in the last 30 yr (1961 — 90) appear unprecedented and are due possibly in part to the increase of atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration, though the authors» simulations of the effects from recent warming may be overestimated without considering the negative feedbacks from aerosols.

«With global temperatures warmer now than they were at the beginning of the last century, that means our temperatures are warmer too, which increases the rate of evaporation and increases the demands on water, increases the stress on the water supply, and also leaves us more susceptible to breaking the high - temperature record, which we've been doing lately,» Nielsen - Gammon said.
