Human induced
trend has two components, namely (a) greenhouse effect [this includes global and local / regional component] and (b) non-greenhouse effect [local / regional component]-- according to IPCC (a) is more than half of global average temperature anomaly wherein it also includes component of volcanic activities, etc that comes under greenhouse effect; and (b) contribution is less than half — ecological
changes component but this is biased
positive side by urban - heat - island effect component as the met network are concentrated
in urban areas and rural - cold - island effect is biased negative side as the met stations are sparsely distributed though rural area is more than double to urban area.
Likewise, they prefer to debate urban heat island effects rather than to discuss the rising temperature
trends, other clear signs of rising temperatures, the
positive feedbacks which are beginning to kick
in so that climate
change will take on a life of its own independently of what we do

Re 9 wili — I know of a paper suggesting, as I recall, that enhanced «backradiation» (downward radiation reaching the surface emitted by the air / clouds) contributed more to Arctic amplification specifically
in the cold part of the year (just to be clear, backradiation should generally increase with any warming (aside from greenhouse feedbacks) and more so with a warming due to an increase
in the greenhouse effect (including feedbacks like water vapor and, if
positive, clouds, though regional
changes in water vapor and clouds can go against the global
trend); otherwise it was always my understanding that the albedo feedback was key (while sea ice decreases so far have been more a summer phenomenon (when it would be warmer to begin with), the heat capacity of the sea prevents much temperature response, but there is a greater build up of heat from the albedo feedback, and this is released
in the cold part of the year when ice forms later or would have formed or would have been thicker; the seasonal effect of reduced winter snow cover decreasing at those latitudes which still recieve sunlight
in the winter would not be so delayed).
The water vapor feedback (a generally
positive feedback)-- there is an roughly exponential increase
in saturation water vapor pressure with increasing temperature, and the relative humidity (at a given vertical level) overall tends not to
change a lot globally, though there will be different regional
trends associated with shifting precipitation patterns.

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).

Given that the past 30 — 50 years is a relatively short period for evaluating long - term
trends, the SST
trends themselves could be viewed as a manifestation of large - scale modes of multidecadal Pacific variability (e.g. Zhang et al. 1997; Deser et al. 2004) or as part of the century scale
positive SST
trends associated with climate
change (e.g. Deser et al. 2010); it is likely that both multidecadal climate variability and climate
change have contributed to the SST
trend pattern evident
in Fig. 9 and used to force the model.

I believe that warming forecasts have been substantially exaggerated (
in part due to
positive feedback assumptions) and that tales of current climate

trends (see hurricanes, for example).
There have been similar experiments with sea ice
changes (by Clara Deser for instance), and while there is a negative NAO response, this too is a very small signal, and far too small to be detectable

trend towards slightly more
positive NAO phase.
