since 1950s the sun is not contributing to the
global warming.
Since 1950, the volcanic forcing has been negative due to a few significant eruptions, and has offset the modestly positive solar forcing, such that the net natural external forcing contribution to global warming over the past 50 years is approximately zero (more specifically, the authors estimate the natural forcing contribution since 1950 at -10 to +13 %, with a most likely value of

Interestingly, the paper «Climate Trends and
Global food production since 1980» (Lobell, Schlenker, Costa - Roberts, in Sciencexpress, 5 May, Science 1204531) confirms my finding of the absence of climate change in the USA: «A notable exception to the [global] warming pattern is the United States, which produces c. 40 % of global maize and soybean and experienced a slight cooling over the period... the country with largest overall share of crop production (United States) showed no [adverse] effect due to the lack of significant climate trends&r

Hadcrut 4 is one of several similar
global databases that reveal the same thing: that
since January 1997 there has been no statistically
significant warming of the Earth's surface.
Among the aspects of that variation that we can isolate are probably factors that have produced a general «
global»
warming trend
since the deepest part of the «Little Ice Age», long before any «mainstream» estimate of anthropogenic changes to pCO2 would have been
significant.
Any
warming observed prior to WWII is indicative of «
global warming» (GW), but (
since there were no
significant human GHG emissions yet) is counterindicative of anthropogenic greenhouse
warming (AGW),
since something other than human GHGs caused it, raising the question: if non GH
warming caused this
warming, could it not also have caused the most recent extended
warming period?
While natural sources of climate variability are
significant, multiple lines of evidence indicate that human influences have had an increasingly dominant effect on
global climate
warming observed
since the mid-twentieth century.
As I predicted two weeks ago, there has been a media and blog frenzy over the statement by climatologist Phil Jones that
global warming since 1995 has not been «statistically
significant».
since most people who are concerned about it would much rather that
global warming be far less
significant.
I can certainly understand why those who do not have as clear an understanding of the climate system as Jim Hansen does would want to be more ambivalent with respect to advocating action to counteract
global warming since, this has very
significant economic implications.
Werner Brozek: What you are missing is the fact that just because the trend
since a certain time is not statistically -
significant does not mean that
global warming has stopped at that time, particularly when the difference of the trend from the longer term trend is not statistically -
significant either.
As the climate science experts and the empirical climate record datasets confirm, there has been no
global «climate -
significant»
warming since 1998.
In a piece published on «Watts Up With That» Lindzen says «There has been no
warming since 1997 and no statistically
significant warming since 1995» and in this piece for Quadrant he gives a variation, saying «has been no statistically
significant net
global warming for the last fourteen years» and «the fact that
warming has ceased for the past fourteen years is acknowledged».
Jones answered honestly, if a bit clumsily, that the data period
since 1995 is marginally too short to derive a statistically
significant trend, a response which was headlined by the Daily Mail as «Climategate U-turn as scientist at centre of row admits: There has been no
global warming since 1995?»

significant global warming in the US
since the 1940s.
This was
significant, said Carrington, «because the rate of
global warming from 2000 - 2009 is lower than the 0.16 C per decade trend seen
since the late 1970s -LSB-...] the
warming rate for the past 10 years is estimated at 0.08 - 0.16 C».
And instead of paying attention to the science and the real - world data (which show there has been no statistically
significant «
global warming»
since January 1997), we've fallen prey to the doomy prognostications of overpromoted climate activists such as Flannery, Viner and Al Gore.
Shaviv and Veizer's paper was accompanied by a press release titled «

There have been three assessments of
global warming by the international panel
since 1990, and each has drawn a more conclusive picture than the last of the link between human activities and the prospects for
significant harm to agriculture, ecosystems and coastlines.
The discussion of whether 2012 is the 8th, 9th 10th or 11th
warmest annual
global average surface temperature is intellectually engaging (and a bit of a waste of the engaged intellect), but a more
significant point is that the
warm years
since 1998 have all occured without a transient bump comparable to the one that 1998 recieved from the signifcant El Nino that occured.
«Sure, they'll probably try to confuse us with trick questions: Like why, apart from natural 1998 and 2015 El Nino spikes, satellites haven't recorded any statistically
significant global warming for nearly two decades; why sea levels have been rising at a constant rate of 7 inches per century without acceleration; and why no category 3 - 5 hurricanes have struck the U.S. coast
since October 2005 — a record lull
since 1900.
In almost every alarmist report about
global warming (or «climate change» as it is currently called
since the earth has been cooling) they conveniently avoid mentioning the most
significant influence of the earth's temperature, The Sun.
Michaels points satellite data, claiming that «you see it's really not
global warming, obviously -LSB-...] In fact, because there is a net statistically
significant cooling of the whole record, it almost looks to me, as a scientist, like what's really going on here is the planet has remained in the slight cooling phase that it was in
since World War II -LSB-...]» [93]
1) CO2 is not rising significantly compared to earlier in the 20th century (Beck, Segalstad, Jaworowski) 2) OK, so CO2 is rising, but human sources are but a minor player (Howard Hayden, Spencer on WUWT) 3) OK, so human CO2 is
significant, but its temperature effect is nonexistant (Heinz Hug) 4) OK, so CO2 has a temperature effect, but it is dwarfed by water vapour (Lindzen, Reid Bryson, Tim Ball 5) OK, so the CO2 temperature effect is not completely dwarfed by water vapour, but the sun is much more important (Svensmark, Shaviv, many others) 6) OK, so the solar output has been flat
since the 50ies, but there are no net positive feedback (Lindzen again, Spencer again) 7) Actually, there has been no
significant global warming (Watts, Singer + more), 8) Hey, all this
warming is a) unstoppable anyway (Singer again) b) good for humanity (Michaels).
Thus that
warming is barely 0.4 oC
since 1940, by when
global coverage was acceptable, but hardly statistically
significant — even though the anomalies in the data sets one can download for each decade are given no less than 4 decimal points.
