As Figure 1 shows, the UAH warming trend over the past decade is indeed both positive and statistically significant once these three short - term effects are filtered out.
The CLAs advised against including this statement in the SPM, noting that: the research is currently inconclusive; overestimation of the models is too small to explain the overall effect and not statistically significant; and it is difficult to pinpoint the role of changes in radiative forcing in causing the reduced warming trend, with Co-Chair Stocker referring to this issue as an «emerging science topic.»
