Average long - term weight gain in nonobese populations is gradual — in the cohorts we studied, about 0.8 lb per year — but accumulated over time, even modest increases in weight have implications for long - term adiposity - related metabolic dysfunction, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer.21 - 24 Whereas weight changes associated with any single lifestyle factor were relatively modest in our three cohorts, in the aggregate, changes in diet and physical activity accounted for large differences in weight gain.

However, there was some variation, with the differences being larger on some items, and relatively smaller on others.

Although the simulation conditions in the MMD 20th - century simulations were not identical to those in the CMIP1 & 2 control runs, the differences do not alter the conclusions summarised below because the large - scale climatological features dominate, not the relatively small perturbations resulting from climate change.

The overall level of consistency between attribution results derived from different models (as shown in Figure 9.9), and the ability of climate models to simulate large - scale temperature changes during the 20th century (Figures 9.5 and 9.6), indicate that such model differences are likely to have a relatively small impact on attribution results of large - scale temperature change at the surface.

However, taking account of sampling uncertainty (as most more recent detection and attribution studies do, including those shown in Figure 9.9) makes relatively little difference to estimates of attributable warming rates, particularly those due to greenhouse gases; the largest differences occur in estimates of upper bounds for small signals, such as the response to solar forcing (Allen and Stott, 2003; Stott et al., 2003a).

A simple rule of thumb is that one can expect downscaling to higher resolution to improve the simulation of regional climate in locations that include coastlines and / or mountain ranges (particularly where the range is too small to be well resolved by the GCM but large enough to be well resolved at the higher resolution) while not making much difference over large homogeneous, relatively flat regions (deserts, oceans,...).

By examining the spatial pattern of both types of climate variation, the scientists found that the anthropogenic global warming signal was relatively spatially uniform over the tropical oceans and thus would not have a large effect on the atmospheric circulation, whereas the PDO shift in the 1990s consisted of warming in the tropical west Pacific and cooling in the subtropical and east tropical Pacific, which would enhance the existing sea surface temperature difference and thus intensify the circulation.

The reason for relatively large uncertainty regarding the Medieval Warm Period is not so much about reliability of the data as it is about the magnitude of the difference (if any) from today.

The relatively large risk premium associated with seniors housing (the difference between its cap rate and the risk - free 10 - year Treasury rate, estimated to be roughly 500 basis points) may help buffer the effects of higher interest rates on seniors housing cap rates, since the risk premium has room to potentially shrink toward the premium afforded to other commercial real estate asset types.
