Not exact matches

People who claim we can stop worrying about global warming on the basis of a cooler year or a cooler decade — or just on questionable predictions of cooling — are as naive as a child mistaking a falling tide, or a spring low tide, for a real long - term fall in sea level.

There will undoubtedly also be a number of claims made that aren't true; 2008 is not the coolest year this decade (that was 2000), global warming hasn't «stopped», CO2 continues to be a greenhouse gas, and such variability is indeed predicted by climate models.

This means you can't use such short periods to «prove» that global warming has or hasn't stopped, or that we are really cooling despite this being the warmest decade in centuries.

Trends correctly rounded down in °C / decade: 1957 — 1986: 0.02 1987 — 1996: 0.02 1997 — now: 0.04 According to Rose global warming has stopped in this last period of 16 years and the two preceding periods have trends that are almost close to zero.

Your side, the side that says human emitted CO2 is the primary driver of climate change, and which (hubristically) says that natural variation can not explain all the warming we've seen, can not explain why the warming has apparently stopped for almost two decades.

Here's a video to watch so you'll be prepared the next time some idiot tries to tell you that the IPCC started using «climate change» instead of «global warming» because the warming stopped in the last decade.

Anyway warming in the pipeline means even if we stop now there is more to come, and this has been known for at least several IPCC reports and a decade, and that is because the forcing has not all been realized yet as warming.

There has been statistically significant warming over the last three decades and there is no indication that that warming has stopped.

It's pretty hard to «overinterpret» a 10 + year stop in global warming (actual slight cooling instead), despite unabated human GHG emissions and concentrations reaching record levels, plus IPCC model - based predictions of 0.2 C per decade warming.

If you believe the Earth stopped cooling, and is now warming, you should be able to nominate the decade (at least), when this momentous change in the trend occurred.

Empirically, I think there is good evidence that the overall climate relaxation time is order of 1 - 3 decades — that is, although there is good reason to think that the Earth had «started to cool» by the middle of the last solar cycle (about the time it stopped even thinking about getting overall warmer) it has taken a solid decade for actual cooling to think about revealing itself, and that is still masked by a lot of noise in the complex system.

I think James» point about the last decade is not that global warming has stopped (implying low or zero climate sensitivity) but that it has not accelerated to the extent that it would have if climate sensitivity were very high (above, say, 4).

So even if we were to stop emitting greenhouse gases right now, it's going to continue warming for at least the next two decades.

And so, over the decade, alarmist climate scientists tried to fool the public by stonewalling («it's the warmest decade on record,» which doesn't mean the decade was warming), denying the facts («the allegation that annual global mean temperatures stopped increasing during the past decade has no basis in reality»), or outright lying («the world is warming even more quickly than we had thought»).

A certain amount of continued warming of the planet is projected to occur as a result of human - induced emissions to date; another 0.5 °F increase would be expected over the next few decades even if all emissions from human activities suddenly stopped, 11 although natural variability could still play an important role over this time period.12 However, choices made now and in the next few decades will determine the amount of additional future warming.

But over the decade, while the planet stopped warming and even tipped toward cooling, what did the public hear, usually through the mass media, from the alarmist climate agencies and the IPCC?

The only «fact» we have here is that it appears to have stopped around the end of 2000, and has cooled slightly since then (at a cooling rate similar to the warming rate experienced from 1850 to 2000, or around — 0.06 °C per decade).

By calculating this Libration forcing on a time scale, you will see, that global warming has stopped at 2000 and stays flat as Plateau for the next decades until 2043.

You present a «straw man»; i.e. you make the untrue assertion of «continued warming» when the warming stopped nearly two decades ago.

That's why climate is generally defined in terms of multiple decades of data, why Santer et al. find that you need at least 17 years of data to compare models and the real world, and why real scientists don't say «OMG GLOBAL WARMING HAS STOPPED!»

We really need to stop thinking in decades and centuries here, the Earth has been warming and cooling since time began.

There has been some warming over the past century, though it stopped about a decade and a half ago.

In fact, there is some fairly compelling evidence that global warming has stopped since 1998, such as it has not actually got any warmer over the last decade.

A single decade is never, never sufficient in concluding that warming has stopped — this is a basic principle of climate science.

They deliberately deleted the last decade of data because it shows that global warming has stopped.

And when that natural variability is greater on short time scales than the CO2 signal, then it's all but inevitable that there will be decades where warming appears to stop only to start up again later.

The reasons for that are many: the timid language of scientific probabilities, which the climatologist James Hansen once called «scientific reticence» in a paper chastising scientists for editing their own observations so conscientiously that they failed to communicate how dire the threat really was; the fact that the country is dominated by a group of technocrats who believe any problem can be solved and an opposing culture that doesn't even see warming as a problem worth addressing; the way that climate denialism has made scientists even more cautious in offering speculative warnings; the simple speed of change and, also, its slowness, such that we are only seeing effects now of warming from decades past; our uncertainty about uncertainty, which the climate writer Naomi Oreskes in particular has suggested stops us from preparing as though anything worse than a median outcome were even possible; the way we assume climate change will hit hardest elsewhere, not everywhere; the smallness (two degrees) and largeness (1.8 trillion tons) and abstractness (400 parts per million) of the numbers; the discomfort of considering a problem that is very difficult, if not impossible, to solve; the altogether incomprehensible scale of that problem, which amounts to the prospect of our own annihilation; simple fear.
