Published online in the Nov. 29 early edition of the Proceedings of the U.S. National Academy of Sciences («Identifying human
influences on atmospheric temperature»), the study compared 20 of the latest climate models against 33 years of satellite data.
(Nanowerk News) New research shows some of the clearest evidence yet of a discernible human
influence on atmospheric temperature.

Previous studies have suggested that
temperature and, more specifically,
atmospheric carbon dioxide levels
influence body size more via an indirect impact
on food availability and nutritional content.
«Human
influence is so dominant now,» Baker asserts, «that whatever is going to go
on in the tropics has much less to do with sea surface
temperatures and the earth's orbital parameters and much more to do with deforestation, increasing
atmospheric carbon dioxide and global warming.»
In the TAR, quantitative evidence for human
influence on climate was based almost exclusively
on atmospheric and surface
temperature.

on 24, What I noted was that the ocean skin equilibrium referenced in RC 5 Sept 06 could be
influenced by variations in ocean currents and the cryosphere to affect
atmospheric temperature on the scale of decades.

So even assuming that reductions of human - induced CO2 emissions would have any effect
on atmospheric CO2 levels, the reductions would not
influence global
temperatures according to the Wallace et al., 2016 study.
The short - term
influence of various concentrations of
atmospheric carbon dioxide
on the
temperature profile in the boundary layer.
However, a confident assessment of human
influence on hurricanes will require further studies using models and observations, with emphasis
on distinguishing natural from human - induced changes in hurricane activity through their
influence on factors such as historical sea surface
temperatures, wind shear, and
atmospheric vertical stability.
It is well established that the level of
atmospheric CO2, which directly
influences the Earth's
temperature, depends critically
on the rates of carbon uptake by the ocean and the land, which are also dependent
on climate.
