What scientists discovered in 2014 is that since the turn of the century, oceans have been absorbing more of global warming's heat and energy than would normally be expected, helping to slow rates of warming on land.

Projections indicate the temperatures could rise as much as 11 °F by century's end if greenhouse gas emissions aren't slowed and that the rate of warming could reach levels unseen in 1,000 years by 2030s.

13 The slower rate of warming in the past decade might be due to a 10 percent drop in stratospheric water.

Most climate models haven't captured this slower rate of warming.

The silicate + CO2 - > different silicate + carbonate chemical weathering rate tends to increase with temperature globally, and so is a negative feedback (but is too slow to damp out short term changes)-- but chemical weathering is also affected by vegetation, land area, and terrain (and minerology, though I'm not sure how much that varies among entire mountain ranges or climate zones)-- ie mountanous regions which are in the vicinity of a warm rainy climate are ideal for enhancing chemical weathering (see Appalachians in the Paleozoic, more recently the Himalayas).

Meanwhile, cooler - than - normal water has risen up to replace it in the eastern Pacific, a mechanism that has temporarily helped slow the rate of warming on land, despite continued global warming.

In the case of warming caused by a disproportionate increase in atmospheric CO2 (compared with oceanic CO2), an increase in temperatures only slows down the rate at which CO2 is absorbed by the oceans.

Ecologist team finds leaf litter has slower decomposition rate in warm temperatures than previously estimated

John Christy and Roy Spencer of the University of Alabama published a series of papers starting about 1990 that implied the troposphere was warming at a much slower rate than the surface temperature record and climate models indicated Spencer and Christy (1992).

MIS 11 has the slowest warming onset rate.

Note the longevity of the warming, especially if emissions reduction is as slow as 2 % / year, which might be considered to be a rapid rate of reduction.

«The class starts with a slow meditative warm up, quickly moving into a powerful vinyasa flow that revs the heart rate and fatigues the muscles of the upper and lower body,» explains Niki.

It is also true that after static passive stretching your coordination is temporarily reduced, your heart rate and respiratory system slows down (The complete opposite of what you want your warm up to achieve) and instead of increasing your readiness for physical exertion this type of flexibility training is more likely to make you feel sleepy which is why it should be used as part of a cool down.

(it's quicker to wait for the car to warm up first, otherwise the aircon being on hot will cause the engine to heat up at a slower rate.)

If you have a warm water, aquarium hoods benefit your tank by slowing down the rate at which it evaporates.

The inclusion of a negative b value for the first derivative term in the model defies physical rational... more rapid warming is expected to correspond to a faster not slower rate of rise.

If this is so, warming will proceed at a slower rate until these intermediate waters are brought to a temperature at which they can no longer absorb heat.

That said, during long periods of negative PDO, the rate of global warming is slower, and during positive periods of the PDO, the rate of warming is faster.

If it would warm 5 degrees this century, which seem quite possible, that would be about 100 times faster than the average rate during the last deglaciation, although I suppose ocean heat content rises somewhat slower.

Feed - in tariffs on fossil energy imports to the United States would surely end up reducing demand for fossil fuels as more and more renewable capacity became available — which is exactly what you would want to see happen if you are serious about slowing the rate of global warming.

The oceans are warming now but they are still a CO2 sink (hence acidification), even if the rate is slowing.

With even further warming more hydrates are released, additional global soil feedback (extreme soil respiration rates, compost bomb instability) and weathering becomes a driver, now Ocean very stratified, maybe things like permanent El Nino, weather systems probably move very slow — everything gets stuck due to lack of perturbed ocean, no or very little frozen water at the poles.

Decreasing greenhouse gases and our carbon footprint will slow the rate of global warming, but it will not fully resolve the problem of global warming.

To make things even more difficult, the current rate of warming is not comparable with previous periods, where greenhouse gas increases were much slower.

The (apparent) slower rate of projected model warming for a higher absolute temperature may be related to other factors like cloud amount and geographical distribution at higher absolute humidity, or increases in convective transport (due to more atmospheric instability) at higher absolute humidity.

If the net forcing increased for several decades, then leveled off 15 - 20 years ago, wouldn't that cause the rate of warming to level off too, not to slow down?

Now, like a good troll, you are shifting the goalposts to «a slower rate» of warming.

But the sheer rate of increase over just the past 55 years shows how fast global warming could hit us in the future — and the present — and underscores how much we've failed as a planet to slow down carbon emissions.

We could reduce short - lived pollutants later, of course, but the inertia from CO2 - induced warming means that those measures can only slow the rate of warming, not reverse it and bring us back below 2 ̊C.
