in previous reports dating back to 1990.
The strength and path of the North Atlantic jet stream and the Greenland blocking phenomena appear to be influenced by
increasing temperatures in the Arctic which have averaged at least twice the

Narrowly scoped, the present situation is either strictly caused by solar variations (
in which case I believe the «solar variation» crowd will inappropriately gain credibility
over the next 10 to 20 years as we work through the next below average solar cycle or two), or strictly caused by CO2 concentrations (
in which case I believe the «CO2 concentrations» crowd will inappropriately lose credibility as the non-linear relationship (sensitivity is based on doublings, not linear
increases) between
increased CO2 concentrations, and forecasts for below average solar cycles reduces the longer term upward trend
in global temperatures).

temperatures, create a thicker and warmer ocean surface layer, and
increase the moisture
in the atmosphere
over the oceans — all conditions that should lead to a general

Item 8 could be confusing
in having so many messages: «It is extremely likely that more than half of the observed

The higher sea surface
temperatures in the tropics (~ 0.85 K / decade
in recent decades) have lead to an
increase in LW (infrared) radiation, and a loss to space of some 3 W / m2 all

Seems to me the debate about AGHG
global warming and
increasing TC frequency / intensity / duration boils down to the fact that as sea surface
temperatures, as well as deeper water
temperatures rise, the wallop of any TC
over warmer seas without mitigating circumstances like wind sheer and dry air off land masses entrained
in the cyclone will likely be much more devastating.
If you are of the opinion that
temperature variability on a short time scale is insignificant, how can we declare as fact that the rise

There is also a natural variability of the climate system (about a zero reference point) that produces El Nino and La Nina effects arising from changes
in ocean circulation patterns that can make the
global temperature increase or decrease,
over and above the
global warming due to CO2.
«Future generations will wonder
in bemused amazement that the early 21st century's developed world went into hysterical panic
over a globally averaged
temperature increase of a few tenths of a degree, and, on the basis of gross exaggerations of highly uncertain computer projections combined into implausible chains of inference, proceeded to contemplate a roll - back of the industrial age,» Lindzen was quoted, offering praise for Christopher C. Horner's Politically Incorrect Guide to
Global Warming and Environmentalism.

over the next 80 years, as decreasing emissions by around 7 kg of CO2.
Most of the rural cities
in my state show no warming at all since 1890 - 1895 when the records began but this is but one area and maybe it has some special properties that protect it, or shield it, from this assumed
increase in accumulated
global energy (therefore a raising of
temperature) but
in physics I learned that is not possible
over a century of time even
in a system even as large as the entire Earth.
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

over the next decade.
The IPCC statement that most of the observed
increase in global average
temperature since the mid-20th century is very likely due to the observed
increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas concentrations» is very much dependent on what weighting was given to natural (mainly solar) forcing
over this period.

Christy is correct to note that the model average warming trend (0.23 °C / decade for 1978 - 2011) is a bit higher than observations (0.17 °C / decade
over the same timeframe), but that is because
over the past decade virtually every natural influence on
global temperatures has acted
in the cooling direction (i.e. an extended solar minimum, rising aerosols emissions, and
increased heat storage
in the deep oceans).
From the article: A new study released Monday found that warming
temperatures in Pacific Ocean waters off the coast of North America
over the past century closely followed natural changes
in the wind, not

global warming.
During that same period, average annual rainfall
in New South Wales declined by 3.6 inches (92 millimeters).3 Scientists think the decline
in autumn rainfall
in southeast Australia since the late 1950s may be partly due to
increases in heat - trapping gases
in Earth's atmosphere.3, 14 Major bushfires
over southeast Australia are linked to the positive phase of an ocean cycle called the «Indian Ocean Dipole» — when sea surface
temperatures are warmer than average
in the western Indian Ocean, likely
in response to
global warming.15, 16
Average
global temperatures have
increased by about 0.2 degrees Celsius (0.36 degrees Fahrenheit)
over the past 20 years and are widely believed to be responsible for new extremes
