global warming, all of them are still stable

in order
to see the increase
in radiative loss).

to date
to deal with The Economics of Climate Change
in the form of a massive study issued
in 2007 under that title, commissioned by the UK Treasury Office.7 Subtitled the Stern Review after the report's principal author Nicholas Stern, a former chief economist of the World Bank, it is widely viewed as the most important, and most progressive mainstream treatment of the economics of
global warming.8 The Stern Review focuses on the target level of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) concentration
in the atmosphere necessary
to stabilize
global average temperature at no more than 3 °C (5.4 °F) over pre-industrial levels.
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.

to indict those skeptics as industry - paid shills: the supposedly leaked industry memo set from a public relations campaign called the «Information Council for the Environment» (ICE) supposedly containing the «reposition
global warming» strategy goal, which targeted «older, less - educated males» and «younger, lower - income women.»

However, despite this, the team reckon
to have perhaps isolated a «

in the accelerated run off of the Greenland Ice Mass — but only just, because the runoff at the edges is balanced by increasing central mass — again, they focus upon recent trends — a net loss of about 22 cubic kilometres
in total ice mass per year which they
regard as statistically not significant —
to find the «signal», and a contradiction
to their ealier context of air temperature cycles.
