But since climate scientists already expect a wide range of negative consequences from rising temperatures, including higher sea level, more weather extremes and increasing risks to human health, anything that accelerates warming is a concern.

[Response: I still don't see why you think that the warming will accelerate much faster than the models suggest since they include these mechanisms.

Several of the most disconcerting atmospheric problems include smog and air pollution, which are responsible for a higher incidence of respiratory diseases and death; acid rain, which contaminates numerous other ecosystems such as watersheds and forests; and finally, one particularly serious issue, climate de-stabilization caused by the accelerated rate of global warming.

The evidence includes accelerated sea level rise, rising global temperatures, warming oceans, declining Arctic ice sheet, worldwide glaciers retreat, increase of extreme weather events and ocean acidification.

These include claiming that addressing climate change will keep the poor in «energy poverty»; citing the global warming «hiatus» or «pause» to dismiss concerns about climate change; pointing to changes in the climate hundreds or thousands of years ago to deny that the current warming is caused by humans; alleging that unmitigated climate change will be a good thing; disputing that climate change is accelerating sea level rise; and denying that climate change is making weather disasters more costly.

Such claims include the meme that rising global CO2 has caused accelerating, rapid US warming; that droughts are destroying all of our food crops; that more frequent and stronger weather disasters from warmer temperatures are wreaking untold harm; that global warming will shorten / threaten US life spans; that ever expanding wildfires are consuming our forests; and etc., etc., etc..

The underlying net anthropogenic warming rate in the industrial era is found to have been steady since 1910 at 0.07 — 0.08 °C / decade, with superimposed AMO - related ups and downs that included the early 20th century warming, the cooling of the 1960s and 1970s, the accelerated warming of the 1980s and 1990s, and the recent slowing of the warming rates.

Although the surface temperature prescription is limited to only 8.2 % of the global surface, our model reproduces the annual - mean global temperature remarkably well with correlation coefficient r = 0.97 for 1970 — 2012 (which includes the current hiatus and a period of accelerated global warming).

The report, known as AR5, finds with near certainty that greenhouse gas emissions are warming the planet and that climate impacts are accelerating — including greater sea ice melt, sea level rise, and dangerous ocean and surface level warming.
