But, according to a new analysis in the journal Geophysical Research Letters

by 0.16 °C (0.29 °F).
However, extreme events may require the combined effect of increased prevailing winds and tropical storms guided
by the strengthened blocking high pressure and nurtured
by the unusually
warm late - Eemian tropical sea

This animation shows how the same
temperature data (green) that is used to determine the long - term global
surface air
warming trend of 0.16 °C per decade (red) can be used inappropriately to «cherrypick» short time periods that show a cooling trend simply because the endpoints are carefully chosen and the trend is dominated
by short - term noise in the data (blue steps).
This conclusion has subsequently been supported
by an array of evidence that includes the additional large - scale
surface temperature reconstructions and documentation of the spatial coherence of recent
warming described above (Cook et al. 2004, Moberg et al. 2005b, Rutherford et al. 2005, D'Arrigo et al. 2006, Osborn and Briffa 2006, Wahl and Ammann in press) and also the pronounced changes in a variety of local proxy indicators described in previous chapters (e.g., Thompson et al. in press).
Their role in
warming the
surface is determined primarily
by humidity,
temperature and the properties of the clouds.
Warming was not uniform across the globe: sea
surface temperatures increased
by ~ 6 °C at high latitudes and ~ 4 °C at low latitudes, and deep - water
temperatures increased
by ~ 8 °C at high latitudes and ~ 6 °C at low latitudes.
ENSO events, for example, can
warm or cool ocean
surface temperatures through exchange of heat between the
surface and the reservoir stored beneath the oceanic mixed layer, and
by changing the distribution and extent of cloud cover (which influences the radiative balance in the lower atmosphere).
Actual planetary
surface temperature would likely be higher due to
warming by any atmosphere gases that might be present (Borucki et al, 2011, pp. 21 - 23, Table 6).
In contrast to historical droughts, future drying is not linked to any particular pattern of change in sea
surface temperature but seems to be the result of an overall
surface warming driven
by rising greenhouse gases.
If a larger mass of
warm air has to pass through it, more energy is transferred, through the evaporator's fins (so that even the evaporator's design and, in particular, its exchange
surface play an important part) from the air to the liquid refrigerant allowed inside it
by the TEV or orifice tube so it expands more and, along with the absolute pressure inside the evaporator, the refrigerant's vapor superheat (the delta between the boiling point of the fluid at a certain absolute pressure and the
temperature of the vapour) increases, since after expanding into saturated vapour, it has enough time to catch enough heat to
warm up further
by vaporizing the remaining liquid (an important property of a superheated vapour is that no fluid in the liquid state is carried around
by the vapour, unlike with saturated vapour).
Since we know that the earth's
surface is significantly
warmed by geothermal heat, that geothermal heat is variable, that truly titanic forces are at work in the earth's core changing its structure and alignment, and that geothermal heat flux has a much greater influence on
surface temperatures than variations in carbon dioxide can possibly have, it makes sense to include its effects in a compendium of global
warming discussion parameters.
Further,
by global
warming I refer explicitly to the historical record of global average
surface temperatures.
ENSO events, for example, can
warm or cool ocean
surface temperatures through exchange of heat between the
surface and the reservoir stored beneath the oceanic mixed layer, and
by changing the distribution and extent of cloud cover (which influences the radiative balance in the lower atmosphere).
I have a post at Nate Silver's 538 site on how we can predict annual

surface is manifested in borehole

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....
