In times when the oceans are warming, there could be several factors that influence this, each with varying contributions based on natural and / or anthropogenic variability: 1) Greater solar output 2) Less aerosols in the atmosphere 3) Less cloudiness (especially of a certain type) 4) Increased greenhouse gases

Global warming indicates a change in the average temperature of the Earth as a whole, while climate change involves several factors in a localized situation.

The rate at which the Earth's climate warms in response to positive radiative forcing depends on several factors besides just the forcing.

With the late - summer ice edge located farther north than it used to be, storms produce larger waves and more coastal erosion.5 An additional contributing factor is that coastal bluffs that were «cemented» by ice - rich permafrost are beginning to thaw in response to warmer air and ocean waters, and are therefore more vulnerable to erosion.22 Standard defensive adaptation strategies to protect coastal communities from erosion, such as use of rock walls, sandbags, and riprap, have been largely unsuccessful.23 Several coastal communities are seeking to relocate to escape erosion that threatens infrastructure and services but, because of high costs and policy constraints on use of federal funds for community relocation, only one Alaskan village has begun to relocate (see also Ch.

The solar activity in the 20th century was the highest in several thousand years, according to several solar studies, which attribute half of the observed 20th century warming to this factor (Shapiro et al. 2011, Scafetta + West 2006, Solanki et al. 2004, Shaviv + Veizer 2003, Lockwood + Stamper 1999, Geerts + Linacre 1997, Gerard + Hauglustaine 1991).
