Thus much more than 1C of the extreme heat could be due to global warming because of this local effect.

BUT Reversing the Atlantic ocean current due to fresh water ice melt, is a local phenomenon, not global AND it does little to reduce the slow steady heat / energy buildup globally — so warming will continue.

«I just happen to be publishing an article by a scientist who lives on Tuvalu and who shows that the real problems already being experienced by people there (salination, sinking because of sand excavation) while ascribed by politicians seeking aid to global warming, are in fact due to over population, natural local causes and above (sic) development on what is little more than a floating patch of sand in the Pacific.»

One of the motivations for this paper (18 pages of close - spaced comparison and discussion of the CRUTem2v, ERA - 40 and NCEP / NCAR analysis) was the claim by Kalnay and Cai (2003) that much of the reported warming over North America was local and due to urbanization and land use changes (based on NCAR / NCEP).

Some had regions of minimum warming in the North Atlantic and Ross Sea due to positive feedbacks: a local effect on convection in the Ross Sea and a non-local impact on the meridional circulation in the North Atlantic.

The authors find that, without adaptation, projected corn, rice and wheat production is reduced when areas experience 2.0 °C or more of local warming, with losses greater in the second half of the century due to larger changes in climate.

This is a view shared by Prof Peter Nienow, a glaciologist at the University of Edinburgh, who said: «The significant warming being seen in many places across the planet makes it unlikely that the recent warming reported in this paper is due just to local natural variability.»

The late 20th century divergence is partly due to local anthropogenic warming and partly to other factors, such as longterm multicentennial linear trend in solar cycle frequency (thermal inertia of oceans and ice).

How hurricanes develop also depends on how the local atmosphere responds to changes in local sea surface temperatures, and this atmospheric response depends critically on the cause of the change.23, 24 For example, the atmosphere responds differently when local sea surface temperatures increase due to a local decrease of particulate pollution that allows more sunlight through to warm the ocean, versus when sea surface temperatures increase more uniformly around the world due to increased amounts of human - caused heat - trapping gases.25, 26,27,28

The question at which Parker's study was addressed was the question: «Could the global warming apparent in the record of land - based temperatures be due to an increase over time in the local UHI effects?»

How hurricanes develop also depends on how the local atmosphere responds to changes in local sea surface temperatures, and this atmospheric response depends critically on the cause of the change.23, 24 For example, the atmosphere responds differently when local sea surface temperatures increase due to a local decrease of particulate pollution that allows more sunlight through to warm the ocean, versus when sea surface temperatures increase more uniformly around the world due to increased amounts of human - caused heat - trapping gases.18, 25,26,27 So the link between hurricanes and ocean temperatures is complex.

There are a number of man - made contributory factors that may have had specific impacts on the atmospheric heating, e.g. local warming in the cities (due to housing, roads, and other resultant factors), smoke and dust over long distances or deforestation of huge forest areas.

Clearly human activities can affect climates — we all grew up learning that the desertification of much of North Africa was due to goats, and we know that some local climates are determined by human activities in the region — but human activity is unlikely to have caused the Viking period warming, the great cooling after 1300, the Little Ice Age, and such; and the warming beginning in 1800 or so is very unlikely to have been caused by human activities.

According to Stone, cases where the link between human - generated greenhouse gas emissions and local warming trends were weak were often due to the fact that the climate observational record was insufficient in those regions to build a clear picture about what has been happening over the past several decades.

Spatial shifts of marine species due to projected warming will cause high - latitude invasions and high local - extinction rates in the tropics and semi-enclosed seas (medium confidence).

A) the local has more noise which can appear as volitility B) the local enviroment he has selected tend to have muted volitility due to unique geographic considerations C) he looked at the wrong measure D) There are good reasons to expect less volitility in a warming scenario.

The paper's investigation also couldn't find corroboration of what Chinese scientists turned over to American scientists, leaving unanswered, «how much of the warming seen in recent decades is due to the local effects of spreading cities, rather than global warming?»

We updated version A after discovering that the eastward drift of NOAA - 11 over its 6 - yr life span caused a spurious warming effect to develop due, as we believed, to the fact the satellite was sampling the earth at later times during the local diurnal cycle (version B, Christy et al. 1995).»

However, the atmosphere is unbounded, so if there were even a small amount of local heating occurs due to absorbing IR, the warmer air would rises and then cool by adiabatic expansion.

Sea level rise due to global warming has already doubled the annual risk of coastal flooding of historic proportions across widespread areas of the United States... By 2030, many locations are likely to see storm surges combining with sea level rise to raise waters at least 4 feet above the local high - tide line.

[Response: Your argument misses the point in three different and important ways, not even considering whether or not the Black Hills data have any general applicability elsewhere, which they may or may not: (1) It ignores the point made in the post about the potential effect of previous, seasonal warming on the magnitude of an extreme event in mid summer to early fall, due to things like (especially) a depletion in soil moisture and consequent accumulation of degree days, (2) it ignores that biological sensitivity is far FAR greater during the warm season than the cold season for a whole number of crucial variables ranging from respiration and photosynthesis to transpiration rates, and (3) it ignores the potential for derivative effects, particularly fire and smoke, in radically increasing the local temperature effects of the heat wave.

But one modeling study put the threshold level for the eventual near - complete loss of Greenland's ice sheet at a local warming of just 2.7 C — which, due to Arctic amplification, means a global warming of only 1.2 C. Total melting of Greenland — luckily, something that would likely take centuries — would raise sea levels by 7 meters, submerging Miami and most of Manhattan, as well as large chunks of London, Shanghai, Bangkok and Mumbai.
