Over the past decade, however, the number of new record highs recorded each year has been twice the number of new record lows,
a signature of a warming climate, and a clear example of its impact on extreme weather.20 (See Figure 3.)

signature of global
warming in changing outbreak statistics leaves two possibilities: either the recent increases are not due to a
warming climate, or a
warming climate has implications for tornado activity that we don't understand.

Nonetheless, even if the substantial recent trend in the AO pattern is simply a product

... Critics
of the leaked drafts have focused on what
climate scientist Kevin Trenberth said is the «mistaken idea that
warming has slowed... «A key will be whether there is a major succinct message out
of this report,» said Trenberth, a
climate scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research, also in Boulder, Colo. «The previous three have had
signature messages,» Trenberth said.
Climate scientists said in the early 90s they could see the
signature of global
warming.
Searing heat is the

warming world.
The study says the global ocean heat content record robustly represents the
signature of global
warming, and is affected less by weather - related «noise» and
climate variability such as El Niño and La Niña events.
This display
of counter-trend
warming and strong polar amplification are both
signature effects
of human - caused
climate change.
Furthermore, the missing hotspot in the atmospheric
warming pattern observed during the last
warming period proves that (1) the IPCC
climate theory is fundamentally broken, and (2) to the extent that their theory correctly predicts the
warming signature of increased carbon dioxide, we know that carbon dioxide definitely did not cause the recent
warming (see here for my full explanation
of the missing hotspot).
A new paper Global
Signatures and Dynamical Origins
of the Little Ice Age and Medieval
Climate Anomaly (Mann et al 2009)(see here for press release) addresses this question, focusing on regional temperature change during the Medieval
Warm Period and Little Ice Age.
Regional circulation patterns have significantly changed in recent years.2 For example, changes in the Arctic Oscillation can not be explained by natural variation and it has been suggested that they are broadly consistent with the expected influence
of human - induced
climate change.3 The
signature of global
warming has also been identified in recent changes in the Pacific Decadal Oscillation, a pattern
of variability in sea surface temperatures in the northern Pacific Ocean.4
Given historical
climate and physics, the only way that implicit endorsement means «implicitly endors [ing] that humans are a cause
of warming» where «a» is something less than primary (that is, over half) is if there is some as - yet undiscovered sink absorbing human CO2 emissions and, simultaneously, an as - yet undiscovered source
of CO2 that is releasing it into the atmosphere - and moreover, the CO2 from this mysterious source just happens to possess a carbon isotope
signature that matches fossil fuel CO2 as a total coincidence.
The
signature of inevitable defeat was when the memo went out saying «global
warming» is out and «
climate change» is in.
Hence, the IPCC report includes a range
of possibilities for
climate sensitivity, the implication
of which is that assent to or dissent from the statement about the greatest part
of late 20th century
warming is the
signature of «endorsement» or «rejection» is outright nonsense.
