Additionally, the observed surface temperature changes over the past decade are within the range of model predictions (Figure 6) and decadal periods
of flat temperatures during an overall long - term warming trend are predicted by climate models (Easterling & Wehner 2009).
Now we have 10 years
of flat temperature at the end of the time period from 1977 - 2007 which must drastically reduce the calculated sensitivity from the one calculated looking only at the first 20 years of data.
Even after numerous climate models failed to predict warming trends and a
decade of flat temperatures, Borenstein suggests this study predicts impending doom down to the year.
No, Gregory Willits is apparently referring only to that half - cycle period or so of warming that occurred about a half
cycle of flat temperatures ago.
If the elderly in the UK are forced to burn books for warmth this winter shall we associate that with lack of preparation for a period
of flat temperatures due to the AMO / PDO or what to expect for three to seven more decades of a «warming hiatus?»
Florrie - And one or two posters have made the argument that when you remove «known» natural forcings, in the current 10 +
years of flat temperatures, the residual anthro effect is still seen to be upwards.
