Not exact matches

The deceleration in rising temperatures during this 15 - year period is sometimes referred to as a «pause» or «hiatus» in global warming, and has raised questions about why the rate of surface warming on Earth has been markedly slower than in previous decades.

I think the interesting question raised (though not definitively answered) by this line of work is the extent to which some of the pause in warming mid-century might have been more due to decadal ocean variability rather than aerosols than is commonly thought.

Dr. Swanson: Another question — This prediction of a pause in the warming seems somewhat similar to the prediction of Keenlyside et al., although, as I understand it, theirs is based simply on a direct model prediction (with an attempt, whether successful or not, to use realistic initial conditions in initializing their model).

While the report made a strong case for human - caused climate change, most media coverage focused on the question of whether there has been a «pause» in global warming.

And I don't often question your reasoning w / r / t the science, per se, but on your arguments w / r / t the social aspects of the debate and on a few occasions, the rhetoric of your scientific arguments (such as your acceptance of arguments about a «pause» in «global warming.»

Pingback: One of the most important questions we face: when will the pause in global warming end?

If the «pause» is causing climate scientists to question the reliability of the climate models, then this should have led the IPCC authors to reduce their confidence in their claim that most of the global warming since the 1950s was man - made.

The crucial question, however, is: How will the IPCC address the pause in global warming?

Assuming for the sake of argument that «the pause» is not an instrument error and the troposphere hasn't gotten any warmer in 16 years then this raises the question of how ocean heat content could be rising which, according to ARGO, at least the upper half of the ocean is accumulating thermal energy.

So the key question is convincing why the mechanism causing the warming between the two earlier pauses was not operational in the warming between the two latter pauses.

Everyone seems to be jumping on the bandwagon to say that internal ocean variability is causing the pause, but this leads to questions about the role of oceans in the warming of the last quarter of the 20th century.

This lapse of temperature data of the ocean's interior led to the scientific question over whether the world hit a «global warming pause» in the early 2000s, which fueled debates in congress over whether climate change is real.

«The Met Office Hadley Centre has written three reports that address the recent pause in global warming and seek to answer the following questions» The reports are available from the link below;

Those adjustments have been questioned by some who reject mainstream climate science and have tried to claim there has been a pause in global warming.

As well as questioning why the «pause» doesn't get a mention in this post on the history of climate science (the RSS website reference @ 25 is likely this post by Carl Mears that certainly makes no mention of the «warming hiatus» being «15 to 18 + years» long), DAN SAGE @ 25 talks of two other topics covered elsewhere by SkS - the CO2 - lagging - temperature saga and the controversal lowering of the bottom of the IPCC ECS range in AR5 (which does not justify talk of ECS being «now... 1degree C, or even a little less», an extremely low value range that has long been proposed by contrarians).
