Not exact matches

The increased risk of further heat waves (intensive heat over relatively short time scales) as well as exposure to warmer temperatures over the longer term, suggest that recovery will depend on thermally - resistant individuals that may trade - off high temperature tolerance with other important attributes such as nutritional value or rapid growth.

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.

Heat diffusion and permafrost melting takes time — in fact, the deeper Arctic permafrost can be seen as a relic of the last glaciation, which is still slowly eroding — so any significant loss of permafrost soil carbon will happen over long time scales.
