This is due at least in part to a lack of surface temperature observations in large parts of the Arctic where warming is occurring most rapidly.

If CO2 were increased in a pulse of a few parts per million — the atmosphere warms rapidly and there may be a very temporary imbalance in radiative flux at TOA before equilibrium is restored with a warmer atmosphere.

While the Earth seems to be managing the steady increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide relatively well so far (although the effects of this increase may not be felt for many decades to come), there are concerns that passing the 400 parts per million atmospheric carbon dioxide threshold will bring the Earth's atmosphere closer to a tipping point at which global warming accelerates rapidly with dire consequences for mankind and other creatures on Earth.

Mount HolyOke: Melting Arctic sea ice is no longer just evidence of a rapidly warming planet — it's also part of the problem.

Exceeding the 400 parts per million level of worldwide atmospheric carbon dioxide later this decade continues a troubling trend which brings the world closer to the potential to reach a global warming tipping point in which global warming accelerates rapidly as the potent greenhouse gas methane is liberated from the frozen state that it has been in for millions of years.

The various kinds of evidence examined by the panel suggest that the troposphere actually may have warmed much less rapidly than the surface from 1979 into the late 1990s, due both to natural causes (e.g., the sequence of volcanic eruptions that occurred within this particular 20 - year period) and human activities (e.g., the cooling of the upper part of the troposphere resulting from ozone depletion in the stratosphere).

Such globally averaged time series are not necessarily representative of local conditions: for example, Canada and Siberia have warmed much more rapidly during the past 20 years than indicated in Figure 2.1, while parts of the high latitude North Atlantic and North Pacific regions have cooled slightly.

When you look at ethics, you judge those of handing the 2100 generation a 700 ppm climate, several degrees warmer, with rising sea levels to adapt to, or whether anything can be done to mitigate that by developing appropriate technologies, and encouraging those to spread rapidly while discouraging those that are part of the problem rather than part of the solution.

Furthermore, it is something that has more recently been quantified, so it can't really be held against him, but the surface temperature data have a cool bias by ignoring large parts of the (rapidly warming) Arctic (see also http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/archives/2014/01/global-temperature-2013/).
