This represents a return to the rapid rates of global surface warming — around 0.2 °C per decade — last seen in the 1990s.

Paleoclimate data reveal instances of rapid global warming, as much as 5 — 6 °C, as a sudden additional warming spike during a longer period of gradual warming [see Text S1].

In other words, a DO event (brought on this time by anthropogenic global warming) should be seen as larger and more rapid climate change than anthropogenic global warming.

I would like to see discussion about the most recent period of rapid global warming... leading to the Paleocene Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) about 55 million years ago... including differences and similarities to the climate projections for this century... and beyond.

I haven't thought much about the THC although I've expressed doubt about seeing large regional cooling if it did shut down or change direction, mainly because global warming is so rapid that any cooling effect with time would be dampened by warming factors going on.

The other possibility is that the models are wrong, the quantification of the warming in the north is wrong and the mechanisms are not understood, these unknown mechanisms are causing a much more rapid warming, that they asymmetrically affect the north and not the south, and - for reasons I don't see but which I'm sure are very good - you are convinced these mechanisms are driven by global warming.

What is concerning is the possibility that rapid global warming could occur faster than many people believe is possible, if global warming due to atmospheric carbon dioxide causes the Earth's atmosphere to warm enough to release enormous deposits of frozen methane (CH4) that are stored in the permafrost above the Arctic Circle and in frozen methane ice, known as methane hydrate, underneath the floors of the oceans throughout the world (see: How Methane Gas Releases Due To Global Warming Could Cause Human Extincglobal warming could occur faster than many people believe is possible, if global warming due to atmospheric carbon dioxide causes the Earth's atmosphere to warm enough to release enormous deposits of frozen methane (CH4) that are stored in the permafrost above the Arctic Circle and in frozen methane ice, known as methane hydrate, underneath the floors of the oceans throughout the world (see: How Methane Gas Releases Due To Global Warming Could Cause Human Extinwarming could occur faster than many people believe is possible, if global warming due to atmospheric carbon dioxide causes the Earth's atmosphere to warm enough to release enormous deposits of frozen methane (CH4) that are stored in the permafrost above the Arctic Circle and in frozen methane ice, known as methane hydrate, underneath the floors of the oceans throughout the world (see: How Methane Gas Releases Due To Global Warming Could Cause Human Extincglobal warming due to atmospheric carbon dioxide causes the Earth's atmosphere to warm enough to release enormous deposits of frozen methane (CH4) that are stored in the permafrost above the Arctic Circle and in frozen methane ice, known as methane hydrate, underneath the floors of the oceans throughout the world (see: How Methane Gas Releases Due To Global Warming Could Cause Human Extinwarming due to atmospheric carbon dioxide causes the Earth's atmosphere to warm enough to release enormous deposits of frozen methane (CH4) that are stored in the permafrost above the Arctic Circle and in frozen methane ice, known as methane hydrate, underneath the floors of the oceans throughout the world (see: How Methane Gas Releases Due To Global Warming Could Cause Human ExtincGlobal Warming Could Cause Human ExtinWarming Could Cause Human Extinction).

Paleoclimate data reveal instances of rapid global warming, as much as 5 — 6 °C, as a sudden additional warming spike during a longer period of gradual warming [see Text S1].

If today's worst - case global warming scenarios of catastrophic melting of glaciers and ice sheets come to pass, sea levels could rise rapidly, wreaking all sorts of geological havoc «comparable with the most rapid increases in sea level that we've seen in the last 15,000 years,» McGuire said.

This suggests that although solar variability does impact surface climate indirectly, it was probably not responsible for most of the rapid global warming seen over the past three decades.

«What we're seeing is stark evidence that the gradual temperature increase is not the important story related to climate change; it's the rapid regional changes and increased frequency of extreme weather that global warming is causing.

You're beside yourself seeing the church of carbon sin come falling down like a house of cards from the pause and now you're seeing both your warmist heroes and skeptic enemies who are top shelf climate scientists agree that heat diffused into the deep ocean isn't «heat in the pipeline» that will reemerge as rapid global warming.

The pattern of modeled surface temperature changes induced by solar variability is well correlated with observed global warming over the first half of the 20th century, but not with the more rapid warming seen over the past three decades.
