This is what I get out
of it: the Arctic - ice - albedo situation is more complicated than earlier thought (due to clouds, sun - filled summers, dark winters, etc), but NET
EFFECT, the ice loss and all these other related factors (some
negative feedbacks) act as a positive feedback and enhance
global warming.

While the
global warmmongers continue to wring their hands over rising temperatures hurting yields (the Corn Belt growing season has indeed
warmed slightly since 1960), improved varieties and the «
global greening» benefits
of more atmospheric CO2 have more than offset any
negative weather
effects — if those even exist.
Before it is safe to attribute a
global warming or a
global cooling
effect to any other factor (CO2 in particular) it is necessary to disentangle the simultaneous overlapping positive and
negative effects of solar variation, PDO / ENSO and the other oceanic cycles.
Such higher levels
of warming would make it much more difficult for countries to keep the
global temperature rise to below 2C, as they agreed to do at the landmark Paris climate summit last year, to avoid dangerous extreme weather and
negative effects on food security.
The prominent upward trend in the GM precipitation occurring in the last century and the notable strengthening
of the
global monsoon in the last 30 yr (1961 — 90) appear unprecedented and are due possibly in part to the increase

of the
effects from recent
warming may be overestimated without considering the
negative feedbacks from aerosols.
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).
The people who deny
global warming are in the same class as those who rejected the
negative effects of DDT, those who denied the

From hazardous
effects causing potential loss
of life, injury, or other
negative health impacts, to the potential exposure

Thirdly anthropogenic
global warming [ANT] is still put at greater than 100 %, ie 110 %, after taking off the supposed

effect [OA], which is so unknown that the error bars are bigger than the guesstimate.This is where Gavin obtains his 110 % likely range
of Anthropogenic
warming that he attributes to the IPCC.

of global warming and exploit the positive changes, creating a total positive
