«This underscores that large,
sustained changes in global temperature like those observed over the last century require drivers such as increased greenhouse gas concentrations,» said lead author Patrick Brown, a PhD student at Duke's Nicholas School of the Environment.
Not exact matches
Climate scientists would say
in response that
changes in ocean circulation can't
sustain a net
change in global temperature over such a long period (ENSO for example might raise or lower
global temperature on a timescale of one or two years, but over decades there would be roughly zero net
change).
... Conclusions Since 1950,
global average
temperature anomalies have been driven firstly, from 1950 to 1987, by a
sustained shift
in ENSO conditions, by reductions
in total cloud cover (1987 to late 1990s) and then a shift from low cloud to mid and high - level cloud, with both
changes in cloud cover being very widespread.
The last 500 million years with no
sustained average
global temperature change demonstrates CO2,
in spite of being a greenhouse gas, has no effect on climate.
Global warming is the increase
in the average
temperature of the earth's atmosphere (especially a
sustained increase that causes climatic
changes).
