The recent warming has been more pronounced in the Arctic Eurasia than in many other regions on our planet, but Franzke (2012) argues that only one out of 109 temperature records from this region exhibits a significant warming trend.
4:38 p.m. Updated I read Mark Fischetti's piece on global warming and hurricanes in Scientific American just now, which points to a recent PNAS study finding «a statistically significant trend in the frequency of large surge events» from tropical cyclones in the Atlantic.
... 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.
You appear slightly dismissive of a recent trend of «15 years or so» compared to the «decades before» and the «statistically significant upward - warming trend» from the mid-seventies.
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.
«None of the [most recent] 10 - year trends is «statistically significant» but that's only because the uncertainties are so large — 10 years isn't long enough to determine the warming trend with sufficient precision.
Such models also indicate that warming would initially cause the Antarctic ice sheet as a whole to gain mass owing to an increased accumulation of snowfall (*; some recent studies find no significant continent - wide trends in accumulation over the past several decades; Lemke et al., 2007 Section 4.6.3.1).
You can not justify cherry - picking 1998 as the «start date of a 15 - year trend showing imperceptible warming» (as Met Office did) versus cherry - picking the most recent 10 - year period starting in 2002, which shows a statistically significant (if shorter) cooling trend.
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
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.
A recent, peer - reviewed study published by several authors in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science concludes: «The largest cyclones are most affected by warmer conditions and we detect a statistically significant trend in the frequency of large surge events (roughly corresponding to tropical storm size) since 1923.»
The Application of Size - Robust Trend Statistics to Global - Warming Temperature Series Thomas B. Fomby and Timothy J. Vogelsang Journal of Climate 2002; 15: 117 - 123 http://journals.ametsoc.org/doi/abs/10.1175/1520-0442%282002%29015%3C0117%3ATAOSRT%3E2.0.CO%3B2... recent studies have pointed out that strong serial correlation (or a unit root) in global temperature data could, in theory, generate spurious evidence of a significant positive trend... A serial - correlation — robust trend test recently was proposed that controls for the possibility of spurious evidence due to strong serial correlation....
