The histograms all show
similar average warming trends and the stations with the longest measurement durations show the least dispersion of temperature trends.
Not exact matches
By then, the world has
warmed to an
average temperature of about 57 ˚C —
similar to the endpoint for a planet exposed to a brightening sun, and hot enough to lose water.
Figure 3 is a
similar graphic to that presented in Meehl et al. (2004), comparing the
average global surface
warming simulated by the model using natural forcings only (blue), anthropogenic forcings only (red), and the combination of the two (gray).
Item 8 could be confusing in having so many messages: «It is extremely likely that more than half of the observed increase in global
average surface temperature from 1951 to 2010 was caused by the anthropogenic increase in greenhouse gas... The best estimate of the human - induced contribution to
warming is
similar to the observed
warming over this period....
In 2017, 87 % of the Earth's surface was significantly
warmer than the
average temperature during 1951 - 1980, 10 % was of a
similar temperature, and only 2.5 % was significantly colder.
All in all, when the
warm places are
averaged out with the cool places, it becomes clear that the overall warmth was likely
similar to early to mid 20th century
warming.
Yet, this immense growth of modern emissions barely produced an uptick in 10 - year global
warming averages, when compared to a
similar time span for the pre-1950s.
In each model, Koven identified which gridcells in a
warmer climate have a nearby gridcell with a
similar climate in terms of
average monthly temperature and precipitation.
Both 2012 and 2016 were
warmer than
average, and they had
similar emissions patterns.
Using a dataset of 1,372 climate researchers and their publication and citation data, Anderegg et al. (2010) found a
similar result to Doran and Zimmerman, that between 97 % to 98 % of climate experts support the consensus, and that the
average number of publications by the «skeptics» is around half the number by scientists convinced by the evidence of human - caused global
warming.
After the station moved, between 1974 - 2004 Walpole temperatures
averaged 2.89 + / - 1.29 F
warmer than Medway, but with
similar year - to - year variability ranging between 1.5 cooler one year to 4.5
warmer another.
How much
warmer the globe has become compared to 1998 can only really be commented on after an El Nino influence on the global
average surface temperatures
similar to the 1997 - 1998 El Nino occurs, and other transient or cyclical influences on the «annual
average» are considered.
I expect a cooling after the
warming hits historical
averages and plateaus for
similar times.
The reconstructed Pliocene climate used data for the
warmest conditions found in the Mid-Pliocene period, which would be
similar to
average conditions in the Early Pliocene (figure 3).
Each record is constructed on the basis of monthly
average raw data from selected meteorological stations around the world, and all show
similar magnitudes and rates of
warming over the last century.
June was
warmer than
average more widely over the Arctic Ocean (Figure 4b); the month saw a weather pattern
similar to the Arctic Dipole, in which higher than
average pressure over the American side of the Arctic drives
warm air advection from the Pacific (Figure 4c).
For recent decades, all current atmospheric data sets now show global -
average warming that is
similar to the surface
warming.
But the Met Office says that June was 0.4 degrees
warmer than
average for Southern England, and
similar throughout the rest of the UK.
Or, as a 2006 report by the US Climate Change Science Program (pdf) puts it: «For recent decades, all current atmospheric data sets now show global -
average warming that is
similar to the surface
warming.»
The findings suggest that California could be entering an era when nearly every year that has low precipitation also has temperatures
similar to or higher than 2013 - 14, when the statewide
average annual temperature was the
warmest on record.
5) Two more up steps in global
average temperature that are verifiable and not from some adjustment, UHI (or
similar effect), or data manipulation; considering the signs for natural temperature drivers are pointing DOWN and (again again) some reason to accept a
warmer world isn't a net better world.
