modest large - scale cooling of the LIA should have lead to a cooling trend during the 20th century (some
warming during the early 20th century arises
from a
modest apparent increase in solar irradiance at that time, but the increase in explosive volcanism during the late 20th century leads to a net negative 20th century trend in natural radiative forcing).

warming from an increase in water vapor, particularly in the tropics.
«These results warn against drawing over-optimistic conclusions
from the relatively
modest loss of mountain plant populations likely to be observed during the coming decades», says Stefan Dullinger
from the University of Vienna, «because the final consequences of climate

from warming constitutes a likely slow positive feedback, but its magnitude may be quite small, at least for the
