None of the models — not one of them — could match the change
in mean global temperature over the past century if it did not utilise a unique value of assumed cooling from aerosols.
The widespread belief that AGW is the fundamental cause of present - day climate change is predicated on the apparent correlation between rising levels of carbon dioxide and the increase
in mean global temperature over the past two centuries.

over the past five decades, and particularly cold
temperatures in recent years.
Global mean temperatures averaged
over land and ocean surfaces, from three different estimates, each of which has been independently adjusted for various homogeneity issues, are consistent within uncertainty estimates
over the period 1901 to 2005 and show similar rates of increase
in recent decades.
The
global mean temperature rise of less than 1 degree C
in the past century does not seem like much, but it is associated with a winter
temperature rise of 3 to 4 degrees C
over most of the Arctic
in the past 20 years, unprecedented loss of ice from all the tropical glaciers, a decrease of 15 to 20 %
in late summer sea ice extent, rising sealevel, and a host of other measured signs of anomalous and rapid climate change.
Using thus 10 different climate models and
over 10,000 simulations for the weather@home experiments alone, they find that breaking the previous record for maximum
mean October
temperatures in Australia is at least six times more likely due to
global warming.
[T] he idea that the sun is currently driving climate change is strongly rejected by the world's leading authority on climate science, the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which found
in its latest (2013) report that «There is high confidence that changes
in total solar irradiance have not contributed to the increase
in global mean surface
temperature over the period 1986 to 2008, based on direct satellite measurements of total solar irradiance.»
To contribute to an understanding of the underlying causes of these changes we compile various environmental records (and model - based interpretations of some of them)

global annual
mean surface
temperature over the last 800,000 years.
Using a statistical model calibrated to the relationship between
global mean temperature and rates of GSL change
over this time period, we are assessing the human role

This doesn't address longer causal connections, but if the net impact of
temperature on CO2 can be shown to be neutral or
in the negative direction
over then long term, than cointegration probably
means that CO2 is causing
global warming.
B. Takes an adjustment to sea

over the last decade.
It first needs to be emphasized that natural variability and radiatively forced warming are not competing
in some no - holds barred scientific smack down as explanations for the behavior of the

One way to look at the climate is that
global mean surface

over the last thousand years, but have generally stayed a straight course, represented by the dashed line placed on the graph by the I.P.C.C.
in 1990.
It's easy to derive from this the CO2 level compatible with the policy goal of limiting the rise
in global mean surface
temperature to 2ºC
over the pre-industrial level.
Another equally important challenge is the fact that there are pronounced ~ 11 - year variations
in the CRF, but the presence of ~ 11 - year variations
in the
global mean temperature are much less pronounced than the trend
over the 3 — 4 most recent decades.

I sincerely hope that you are not serious
in maintaining the following: The peak warming is linearly proportional to the cumulative carbon emitted It doesn't matter much how rapidly the carbon is emitted The warming you get when you stop emitting carbon is what you are stuck with for the next thousand years The climate recovers only slightly
over the next ten thousand years At the mid-range of IPCC climate sensitivity, a trillion tonnes cumulative carbon gives you about 2C
global mean warming above the pre-industrial
temperature.
Most of the images showing the transient changes
in global mean temperatures (GMT)
over the 20th Century and projections out to the 21st C, show

in prior ~ 5 years — project that
mean avg growth
in CO2 / CO2e ppm increasing at the same rate for another decade, and then to 2050 and to 2075 (or some other set of years)-- then using the best available latest GCM / s (pick and stick) for each year or quarter update and calculate the «likely»
global surface
temperature anomaly into the out years — all things being equal and not assuming any «fictional» scenarios
in any RCPs or Paris accord of some massive shift
in projected FF / Cement use until such times as they are a reality and actually operating and actually seen slowing CO2 ppm growth.
The climate sensitivity is defined as the equilibrated change
in global mean surface air

in radiative forcing and has been a major focus of climate research
over the last three decades.
Over the past 20 years, all the trends
in the sun that could have had an influence on Earth's climate have been
in the opposite direction to that required to explain the observed rise

By comparing modelled and observed changes
in such indices, which include the
global mean surface
temperature, the land - ocean
temperature contrast, the
temperature contrast between the NH and SH, the
mean magnitude of the annual cycle
in temperature over land and the
mean meridional
temperature gradient
in the NH mid-latitudes, Braganza et al. (2004) estimate that anthropogenic forcing accounts for almost all of the warming observed between 1946 and 1995 whereas warming between 1896 and 1945 is explained by a combination of anthropogenic and natural forcing and internal variability.
A failure to appreciate the role clouds play
in regulating the Earth's
temperature means that a significant number of climate change predictions underestimate the likely extent of
global warming
over the coming years, scientists have claimed.
We might expect «
global warming» (i.e., an increase
in average surface air
temperatures over a few decades) to lead to a rise
in global mean sea levels.
The reason I am persisting with this is that I think there has been no plateau
in Global warming
over the last 10 years, as every year has been above average thus the average of the population is increasing,
meaning Annual
Global Average
Temperature has been increasing.
Because the locations and measurement practices of weather stations change
over time, there are uncertainties
in the interpretation of specific year - to - year
global mean temperature differences.
The deep
meaning in Global Temperature for me is the wondrous observation that,
in order for life to evolve on planet earth,
over four billion years, it seems as if we have never been either completely ice - free or without some open water across the oceans.

The truth is nobody has the slightest idea what the small variations
in «
global temperature»
over the course of the 20th century (or any other century) are supposed to
mean.
I do not believe that
global mean annual
temperatures have simply cooled progressively
over thousands of years as Mike appears to and I contend that that there is strong evidence for major changes
in climate
over the Holocene (not Milankovich) that require explanation
I notice
in all the comments and published papers, that (and correct me if I am wrong) no one seems to have used the simple graphing of the earth's
mean temperature,
over time, as evidence of «
global warming».
If you look at the increase
in global mean temperature over the last fifty years, the vast majority of that is associated with human activity and the burning of fossil fuels.
Although the regions largely coincide with the continents rather than climatological criteria, the annual
mean temperature averaged
over these regions explains 90 % of the

The fact this is seemingly not fully recognized — or here integrated — by Curry goes to the same reason Curry does not recognize why the so called «pause» is a fiction, why the «slowing» of the «rate» of increase
in average ambient
global land and ocean surface air
temperatures over a shorter term period from the larger spike beyond the longer term
mean of the 90s is also meaningless
in terms of the basic issue, and why the average ambient increase
in global air
temperatures over such a short term is by far the least important empirical indicia of the issue.
Also, the physics and other science taken together is compatible with the idea that the increase
in global mean surface
temperature over the last 150 years happened independently of human CO2.
And so,
over the decade, alarmist climate scientists tried to fool the public by stonewalling («it's the warmest decade on record,» which doesn't
mean the decade was warming), denying the facts («the allegation that annual
global mean temperatures stopped increasing during the past decade has no basis
in reality»), or outright lying («the world is warming even more quickly than we had thought»).
Over this period the
mean CR intensity appears to have fallen by less than 0.6 % using the data of Bazilevskaya et al. (2008)... the increase
in temperature predicted [as a result] is 0.002 C, a value that is quite negligible to the
Global Warming
in this period...
Simulations where the magnitude of solar irradiance changes is increased yield a mismatch between model results and CO2 data, providing evidence for modest changes
in solar irradiance and
global mean temperatures over the past millennium and arguing against a significant amplification of the response of
global or hemispheric annual
mean temperature to solar forcing.
However, for radiosonde observations, which are irregularly spaced with large gaps
over the oceans (Figure 2.6),
global -
mean temperature is estimated on the basis of those stations operating during the season
in question.
In any case that is still irrelevent since the true average
global mean temperature over whatever baseline 30 year or whatever time frame they choose, is also a completely unknown number for the very same sampling failure reasons.
This is close to the warming of 1.09 °C (0.86 — 1.31 °C) observed
in global mean land
temperatures over the period 1951 — 2010, which,
in contrast to China's recorded
temperature change, is only weakly affected by urban warming influences.
