Even if the study were right... (which it is not) mainstream scientists use * three * methods to
predict a
global warming trend... not just climate computer models (which stand up extremely well for general projections by the way)
under world - wide scrutiny... and have for all intents and purposes already correctly
predicted the future -(Hansen 1988 in front of Congress and Pinatubo).
The authors of the study said the change could be temporary, given the short span of observations, but it matches a slight but steady
warming trend in the affected ocean regions and also matches a pattern scientists have
predicted would occur
under human - caused
global warming.

report that ocean sediment cores containing an «undisturbed history of the past» have been analyzed for variations in PP over timescales that include the Little Ice Age... they determined that during the LIA the ocean off Peru had «low PP, diatoms and fish,» but that «at the end of the LIA, this condition changed abruptly to the low subsurface oxygen, eutrophic upwelling ecosystem that today produces more fish than any region of the world's oceans... write that «in coastal environments, PP, diatoms and fish and their associated predators are
predicted to decrease and the microbial food web to increase
under global warming scenarios,» citing Ito et al..
The Earth's temperature could rise
under the impact of

That would be 0.9 degrees Celsius below the amount of
warming that Climate Action Tracker projects to occur
under current policies, and 1.4 to 2.1 degrees Celsius below the amount of
warming the group
predicts would occur in the absence of any
global warming policies.
Every time the evidentiary basis of AGW is knocked out from
under it, its proponents simply change the name (e.g.: «
Global Warming» becomes «Climate Change») or the
predicted effects of AGW («the earth's temperature will rise by X degrees» becomes «the earth's temperature will maybe rise or fall by X degrees»).
Over that time, the globally averaged temperature difference between the depth of an ice age and a
warm interglacial period was 4 to 6 °C — comparable to that
predicted for the coming century due to anthropogenic
global warming under the fossil - fuel - intensive, business - as - usual scenario.
Dieback of the Amazon rainforest has been
predicted (2, 80) to occur
under ≈ 3 — 4 °C
global warming because of a more persistent El Niño state that leads to drying over much of the Amazon basin (81).
Under Watson's tenure, the IPCC last year produced its third comprehensive assessment of the state of climate science, concluding that» [t] here is new and stronger evidence that most of the
warming observed over the last 50 years is attributable to human activities,» and
predicting that average
global temperatures will rise between 3 and 10 degrees Fahrenheit by the endof the century — conclusions reaffirmed last spring at White House request by the National Academy of Sciences.
