The IPCC, in its most recent assessment report, lowered its near - term forecast for the global mean
surface temperature over the period 2016 to 2035 to just 0.3 to 0.7 degree C above the 1986 — 2005 level.
This is close to the warming of 1.09 °C (0.86 — 1.31 °C) observed in global mean
land temperatures over the period 1951 — 2010, which, in contrast to China's recorded temperature change, is only weakly affected by urban warming influences.
Instead, the wood is «cooked» at
high temperatures over a period of time, making it resistant to rot and insects, and rendering it dimensionally stable as well.
The ancestors of today's crocodiles colonised the seas during warm phases and became extinct during cold phases, according to a new Anglo - French study which establishes a link between marine crocodilian diversity and the evolution of
sea temperature over a period of more than 140 million years.
«Removing the annual emissions traced to 90 major carbon producers from the best estimate full historical forcing case shows that the combustion of their products from 1880 to 2010 led to a 0.4 (± 0.01) °C increase in [global mean standard temperature], 50 (± 1.1) % of the total
increased temperature over this period,» the study said.
Solar Cycle Length proves its the sun In 1991, Eigil Friis - Christensen and Knud Lassen published an article claiming «strikingly good agreement» between solar cycle lengths (the fluctuating lengths of cycles undergone by sunspot numbers) and northern hemisphere
land temperatures over the period 1860 — 1990 (Friis - Christensen 1991).
If all that the CO2 does is to marginally raise
global temperature over the period of a natural solar driven warming and cooling cycle then there is nothing to fear because the mitigating effect in cool periods will outweigh any discomfort from the aggravating effect at and around the peak of the warm periods.
Figure 2.5: Projected change in average
annual temperature over the period 2071 - 2099 (compared to the period 1970 - 1999) under a low scenario that assumes rapid reductions in emissions and concentrations of heat - trapping gases (RCP 2.6), and a higher scenario that assumes continued increases in emissions (RCP 8.5).
[T] he idea that the sun is currently driving climate change is strongly rejected by the world's leading authority on climate science, the U.N.'s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which found in its latest (2013) report that «There is high confidence that changes in total solar irradiance have not contributed to the increase in global mean
surface temperature over the period 1986 to 2008, based on direct satellite measurements of total solar irradiance.»
If all that CO2 does is to marginally raise global
temperature over the period of a natural solar driven warming and cooling cycle then there is nothing to fear because the mitigating effect in cool periods will outweigh any discomfort from the aggravating effect at and around the peak of the warm periods.
This is currently done, as Fred says, by computing anomalies: the average global
temperature over some period is chosen to be zero and every other temperature is referred to that.
Upper panel: Changes in global surface
temperature over the period 1900 - 2003 associated with the Pacific Decadal Oscillation (PDO) in the GISTEMP and ERSST datasets.
The idea is, if the change in surface
temperature over that period is affected by changes in cloud cover, but changes of the surface temperature associated with the ocean warming are small, then changes in cloud cover must be driving the present global warming.
While the AMO has not changed much in the past 10 years, the strong increase in North Atlantic temperatures between 1970 and 2000 may have contributed to the rapid rise in global
temperatures over that period, and the leveling - out of the AMO may help make the observed pause in warming more likely.
Should
temperatures over this period be warmer than for 1994 — 2004 the Germans must pay the Realclimate bloggers $ 2500.
I'll rest my case on the fact that CO2 has averaged 5 to 10X HIGHER on this planet for 100's of millions of years (GEOCarb III), and
temperature over that period had zero correlation to its concentration.
Global
temperatures over this period is estimated to be 3 to 4 °C warmer than pre-industrial temperatures.
-LSB-[That being the case you can say NOTHING about any trend in this data set [i.e., 2001 - 2007] except that the data indicates no change in
temperature over that period.
