changes in the global
average temperature (including many regions in the Northern Hemisphere and tropics).
If one postulates that the global
average surface
temperature tracks the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere, possibly with some delay, then when the CO2 concentration continues to rise monotonically but the global
average surface
temperature shows fluctuations as a function of time with
changes in slope (periods wherein it decreases), then you must throw the postulate away.
For precisely this reason, the numerous proxy and model - based estimates of the variations in the

change from 1985 (= mean 1980 - 1990) to 1999 (= mean 1994 to 2004).
For example, if this contribution were to grow linearly with global
average temperature change, the upper ranges of sea level rise for SRES scenarios
shown in Table SPM - 3 would increase by 0.1 m to 0.2 m. Larger values can not be excluded, but understanding of these effects is too limited to assess their likelihood or provide a best estimate or an upper bound for sea level rise.
High - frequency associations (not
shown here) remain strong throughout the whole record, but
average density levels have continuously fallen while
temperatures in recent decades have risen... As yet, the reason is not known, but analyses of time - dependent regional comparisons suggest that it is associated with a tendency towards loss of «spring» growth response (Briffa et al., 1 999b) and, at least for subarctic Siberia, it may be connected with
changes in the timing of spring snowmelt (Vaganov et al., 1999).

Graph
shows that adding the interaction of slowly and quickly migrating species in response to climate
change, increases the overall time lag (of population

The first graph

The bar graph below

Doing this on a year - to - year basis
shows NO apparent correlation with the absolute «globally and annually
averaged land and sea surface
temperature anomaly» (i.e. HadCRUT3), but does
show a weak correlation with the
CHANGE in
temperature from the previous year, for example:
But it's a bit easier to define the
average anomaly, and besides, this
shows us what we're concerned with — how the
temperature changes over time.
The polar regions are particularly sensitive to small rises in the annual
average temperature, they are sometimes referred to as «the canary in the coalmine» in that they
show changes long before they can be seen elsewhere in the world.
