Completely independently of this oceanographic data, a simple correlation analysis (Foster and Rahmstorf ERL 2011) showed that the flatter warming trend of the last 10 years was mostly a result of natural variability, namely the recently more frequent appearance of cold La Niña events in the tropical Pacific and a small contribution from decreasing solar activity.

«Dermot Antoniadesa said: «At this point, it doesn't appear that the shelf ice around Ellesmere Island is any smaller now than it was during the previous period of warming, but because it's still shrinking, it's possible it could become, an «unprecedented» event.

Man's role in the extinction of the wooly mammoth and other megafaunal species of the last ice age is smaller compared with the effects of rapid climate - warming events that occurred during the era.

Limits must be strict enough to avert the worst consequences of global warming that are already being felt in extreme weather events, droughts, floods, melting glaciers and polar ice caps and rising sea levels that threaten to swamp coastal communities and small island states.

In the interest of full disclosure, my «sense» is that such a small temperature increase would not increase water vapor significantly enough to cause a statistically significant increase in numbers and / or severity of extreme events, especially since most of the warming has reportedly been in the high northern latitudes where temperatures are well below 0C where the water vapor saturation value vs temperature curve is pretty flat.
