Owing to the decreased number of spatial degrees of freedom in the earliest reconstructions (associated with significantly decreased calibrated variance before e.g. 1730 for annual - mean and cold - season, and about 1750 for warm - season pattern reconstructions) regional inferences are most meaningful in the mid 18th century and later, while the largest - scale averages are useful further back in time.

The geoengineers can create large scale (highly toxic) regional cooling at the cost of a worsened overall warming.

To point out just a couple of things: — oceans warming slower (or cooling slower) than lands on long - time trends is absolutely normal, because water is more difficult both to warm or to cool (I mean, we require both a bigger heat flow and more time); at the contrary, I see as a non-sense theory (made by some serrist, but don't know who) that oceans are storing up heat, and that suddenly they will release such heat as a positive feedback: or the water warms than no heat can be considered ad «stored» (we have no phase change inside oceans, so no latent heat) or oceans begin to release heat but in the same time they have to cool (because they are losing heat); so, I don't feel strange that in last years land temperatures for some series (NCDC and GISS) can be heating up while oceans are slightly cooling, but I feel strange that they are heating up so much to reverse global trend from slightly negative / stable to slightly positive; but, in the end, all this is not an evidence that lands» warming is led by UHI (but, this effect, I would not exclude it from having a small part in temperature trends for some regional area, but just small); both because, as writtend, it is normal to have waters warming slower than lands, and because lands» temperatures are often measured in a not so precise way (despite they continue to give us a global uncertainity in TT values which is barely the instrumental's one)-- but, to point out, HadCRU and MSU of last years (I mean always 2002 - 2006) follow much better waters» temperatures trend; — metropolis and larger cities temperature trends actually show an increase in UHI effect, but I think the sites are few, and the covered area is very small worldwide, so the global effect is very poor (but it still can be sensible for regional effects); but I would not run out a small warming trend for airport measurements due mainly to three things: increasing jet planes traffic, enlarging airports (then more buildings and more asphalt — if you follow motor sports, or simply live in a town / city, you will know how easy they get very warmer than air during day, and how much it can slow night - time cooling) and overall having airports nearer to cities (if not becoming an area inside the city after some decade of hurban growth, e.g. Milan - Linate); — I found no point about UHI in towns and villages; you will tell me they are not large cities; but, in comparison with 20-40-60 years ago when they were «countryside», many small towns and villages have become part of larger hurban areas (at least in Europe and Asia) so examining just larger cities would not be enough in my opinion to get a full view of UHI effect (still remembering that it has a small global effect: we can say many matters are due to UHI instead of GW, maybe even that a small part of measured GW is due to UHI, and that GW measurements are not so precise to make us able to make good analisyses and predictions, but not that GW is due to UHI).

Coupled simulations, using six different models to determine the ocean biological response to climate warming between the beginning of the industrial revolution and 2050 (Sarmiento et al., 2004), showed global increases in primary production of 0.7 to 8.1 %, but with large regional differences, which are described in Chapter 4.

As if this were not daunting enough, in 2002 the US National Academies of Science not only endorsed the IPCC's conclusions but produced a new report entitled Abrupt Climate Change: Inevitable surprises, which argued that global warming may trigger «large, abrupt and unwelcome regional or global climatic events» such as severe droughts and floods.

In other words, trends and / or variability in larger - scale features of the climate (including rising temperature from global warming) are not very strongly (if at all) related to regional and temporal characteristics of streamflows across the U.S.

«Scientists were quick to declare the results of the Turner et al paper, which covered 1 per cent of the Antarctic continent, did not negate a long - term warming because of man - made climate change... «Climate model projections forced with medium emission scenarios indicate the emergence of a large anthropogenic regional warming signal, comparable in magnitude to the late - 20th - century peninsula warming, during the latter part of the current century,» the Turner research concluded.»

But as this Holland dataset confirms, the actual empirical global and regional trends of a climatic shift of ever more severe weather events do not support the alarmists» predictions; the irrational fears of more frequent / larger weather disasters as a result of CO2 or global / regional «warming» is unjustified, per the scientific evidence.

They first sorted the data into regional patterns, and then compared the temporal behavior of these patterns to common historical climate indices — such as well - known patterns of atmospheric circulation, sea surface temperatures, or even large - scale warming.

What we — and other competent researchers — have all found is that the warmth was far more regional than modern warmth, with some large regions, like the tropical Pacific, having been unusually * cold * at the time, and when you average over the globe, the warmth of the medieval warm period / medieval climate anomaly simply doesn't reach modern warmth.

The scientific evidence is unequivocal: There exist huge regional climate swaths of the globe that have mildly warmed in an unexceptional manner during the modern industrial / consumer era; and there exist multiple large areas that even lack any regional climate - significant modern warming whatsoever.

The recent warming in the Arctic anyway is not direct from regional CO2, as the observed warming needs a heat / radiation unbalance which is an order of magnitude larger than the direct change in radiation caused by CO2 increases...

To answer this question, large ensemble simulations of regional climate models will be carried out for an East Asian domain for two worlds: (1) Real world condition for which the observed sea surface temperatures will be prescribed and (2) Counter-factual world condition for which we will use adjusted sea surface temperatures obtained by removing human - induced ocean warming patterns.

It is possible that the regional patterns of warming in the high - end and non-high-end models are similar, but are simply larger in magnitude in the high - end models.

However, regional variations are expected because of greater climate «noise» (unforced variability) on small scales, possible regional climate forcings, and known mechanisms that affect the large scale spatial variation of global warming.

The other thing to keep in mind is that thus far the degree of warming (globally averaged) is not so large as to be outside the possible range of local natural flucuations (regional).
