UAH satellite data has shown
no significant global warming trend in more than 15 years — the Remote Sensing Systems satellite dataset shows no warming for more than 18 years.
For two of the datasets, it's now up to at least 20 years without a statistically -
significant global warming trend.
Not exact matches
They found no
significant trends, but when they put the data into computer models and simulated a rise in temperature — as predicted through
global warming — the results were striking.
The
trend in these responses changed course last year, with slightly fewer Americans saying
global warming would have a
significant effect in their lifetimes.
Dr. Benestad's reasoning is based on the erroneous assumption that if there are no
significant trends in some proxies for the solar activity since 1950s the sun is not contributing to the
global warming.
Global warming is a small but persistent
trend that has
significant impacts upon the Earth's climate.
4:38 p.m. Updated I read Mark Fischetti's piece on

The scientists found no
significant relationship to
global warming (there's no
trend at all in such blocking events in that region, for instance).
Because the long - term
warming trends are highly
significant relative to our estimates of the magnitude of natural variability, the current decadal period of stable
global mean temperature does nothing to alter a fundamental conclusion from the AR4:
warming has unequivocally been observed and documented.
has an excellent overview of energy
trends in the world — and what would need to happen for the world to curtail its greenhouse gas emissions and avoid
significant global warming.
Tung & Zhou in their analysis are removing a
significant portion of the
global warming from the
global warming, artificially decreasing the
trends.
A «pause» in the
global temperature
trend can be diagnosed, when both of the following criteria are fulfilled: a) based on a robust statistical analysis, the
global temperature
trend is not statistically distinguishable from the Zero
trend, b) based on a robust statistical analysis, the
global temperature
trend is statistically distinguishable from the longer - term, multi-decadal
warming trend (which itself is highly statistically
significant).
Now if someone were to dsay, as Judith clearly did not although she had many opportunities to do so, that «concurrent with
warming of our oceans there has been a relatively short - term hiatus in the
trend of
significant increase in
global surface temperatures,» then I would not have a problem with the logic.
Again, no
significant trend of the
global averaged Gaa [atmospheric greenhouse effect] is found from 2003 to 2014 (Fig. 2) because the enhanced
warming effect over the western tropical Pacific is largely counteracted by the weakened
warming influence on the central tropical Pacific.
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

First, Happer mentions statistical significance, but
global surface temperature
trends are rarely if ever statistically
significant (at a 95 % confidence level) over periods as short as a decade, even in the presence of an underlying long - term
warming trend, because of the natural variability and noise in the climate system.
PRINCETON, NJ — The slight upward
trend in Americans» concern about
global warming over the past decade masks a more
significant trend: the growing gap between Republicans and Democrats over
global warming.
If current
trends in
global warming continue unmitigated, some of the world's most well - known and historically
significant cultural landmarks — including the Statue of Liberty in New York City, the Tower of London in the United Kingdom, and the archaeological sites of Pompeii in Italy — could be destroyed by rising
global sea levels over the next 2,000 years, according to new research.
Marcott paper Basically the folks at RC have probably made poor ol Marcott respond that the uptick did not matter anyway its not important,
significant, robust etc don't rely on it just forget about it please etc but unfortunately for them as Ross MC on Realclimate reply, at CA says «But that is precisely what they do in Figure 3 of their paper, and it is the basis of their claim that «
Global temperature, therefore, has risen from near the coldest to the
warmest levels of the Holocene within the past century, reversing the long - term cooling
trend that began ~ 5000 yr B.P.» Without the uptick in their proxy reconstruction this kind of statement could never have been made.
... incomplete and misleading because it 1) omits any mention of several of the most important aspects of the potential relationships between hurricanes and
global warming, including rainfall, sea level, and storm surge; 2) leaves the impression that there is no
significant connection between recent climate change caused by human activities and hurricane characteristics and impacts; and 3) does not take full account of the significance of recently identified
trends and variations in tropical storms in causing impacts as compared to increasing societal vulnerability.
The trick is to find a time period just short enough so that the
trends are not statistically
significant anymore, and ta ta, one can claim a «
global warming stop» for the time period.
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.
Yet the linear
trend on the Hadley / CRU monthly
global temperature anomalies for the 18 years 1995 - 2012 shows no statistically -
significant warming, even though the partial pressure of CO2 rose by about a tenth in that time.
For longer time periods appropriate to the assessment of
trends, however,
global temperatures have experienced
significant warming for all seasons except winter, when cooling
trends exist instead across large stretches of eastern North America and northern Eurasia.
However, despite this, the team reckon to have perhaps isolated a «
global warming» signal in the accelerated run off of the Greenland Ice Mass — but only just, because the runoff at the edges is balanced by increasing central mass — again, they focus upon recent
trends — a net loss of about 22 cubic kilometres in total ice mass per year which they regard as statistically not
significant — to find the «signal», and a contradiction to their ealier context of air temperature cycles.
Based on previously reported analysis of the observations and modelling studies this is neither inconsistent with a
warming planet nor unexpected; and computation of
global temperature
trends over longer periods does exhibit statistically
significant warming.
On 17 - year
trends, we can achieve 95 % confidence reaching to the end of 2005 of strong ongoing statistically
significant global warming.
As can be seen, for the period chosen in this example, the 24 years (288 months) ending July 2013, the «
global warming»
trend is not statistically
significant.
I'm very convinced that the physical process of
global warming is continuing, which appears as a statistically
significant increase of the
global surface and tropospheric temperature anomaly over a time scale of about 20 years and longer and also as
trends in other climate variables (e.g.,
global ocean heat content increase, Arctic and Antarctic ice decrease, mountain glacier decrease on average and others), and I don't see any scientific evidence according to which this
trend has been broken, recently.
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.
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?»
For this article, a statistically -
significant global warming means that the linear
trend (slope of the
trend line) is likely greater than zero with 95 % statistical confidence (i.e. the 95 % error bars do not include a possible 0.0 or negative temperature degree slope).
Or, using a very simplified example, a calculated (estimated) linear
global warming trend, of say 1.50 °C / century, is not statistically -
significant if the error bars are at ± 1.55 °C.
There will never have been statistically
significant global warming is the last few years, because statistical significance is heavily dependent on the amount of data points and hence the length of the record you are
trending.
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».
I'm alternately told by «skeptics» (1) it's regional impact that's important, (2) it's
global data that's more important, (3) there is no such thing as «
global temperatures,» (4) «skeptics» are not monolithic, (5) «skeptics» don't doubt that
global temperatures are
warming (and that it is to some extent influenced by AC02), or alternately «we dismiss non-
Global data), (6) all methodologyies used to determine
global temps are unreliable, (7)
global warming has stopped, (8) we're experiencing
global cooling, (9) what matters is long term
trends, (10) short - term
trends are
significant, (11) what's happening in Arctic isn't important (because it's regional), (12) what's happening in the Antarctic is important (despite it being regional).
iii) Over the last 3 decades, every individual station north of 70o indicates
warming, 13 of 17 are
significant at 95 % confidence, all estimated
trend rates are faster than the
global average, some are more than five times as fast.
Although the
global temperature data show short periods of greater and smaller
warming trends, and even short periods of cooling, the team's key question was whether or not these are statistically
significant in showing a change in the form of a slowdown or acceleration of
global warming, or whether they are merely expected fluctuations — or noise — in the data.
They found that
global temperatures fluctuated in specific regional patterns but that all regions except Antarctica saw a long - term cooling
trend followed by
significant warming in the past 30 years.
On the other hand, the «pause» is being tested by analyzing whether the shorter - term temperature
trend is a non-random deviation from the longer - term
global warming trend, which itself, as we know, is statistically
significant.
Outcome 1: Rejection of the Null - hypothesis, here «Zero temperature
trend» =» pause», and confirmation of the alternative hypothesis, here statistically
significant global warming (for a chosen error probability), or Outcome 2: Failure of rejecting the Null - hypothesis.
I incorporate ENSO directly into the CSALT model, and this contributes a
significant factor to the noise of the
global warming trend.
It seems fairly obvious that continuation of a 20th Century
warming trend is not seen as supportive of CAGW hypothesis, and what is * needed * is a
significant increase in the rate of
global warming.
This mirrors the
significant rise in
global temperatures detected over the past 30 years, supporting the conclusion that there is a
global trend toward enhanced glacier frontal recession in recent decades and providing support for the assertion that glacier recession can be attributed to recent
warming.»
To have periods of a decade or even longer when there is no
significant net increase in
global temperature, despite a continuing long - term
warming trend, is not in the least surprising — in fact it's expected.
The blue 1 - year (12 - month)
trends show the dramatic
global warming trend reversal over the most recent months - from a peak in March 2016 to what now amounts to being a
significant cooling
trend by October 2016.
James» quote - «In the BAMS article, the authors criticize others for irresponsible public statements on
global warming and praise their own caution, yet the press release they quote asserts an «increased risk» of category - 5 hurricanes threatening the southeastern U.S., but neither their own two articles, nor the data they claim to have used, show any such statistically

While
global mean temperature and tropical Atlantic SSTs show pronounced and statistically
significant warming trends (green curves), the U.S. landfalling hurricane record (orange curve) shows no
significant increase or decrease.
