[1] Research findings published in the science journal Nature in August suggest increased sea surface
temperatures as a consequence of global warming, will lead to more intense hurricanes.

Despite the «science is settled» and «consensus» claims
of the
global -
warming alarmists, the fear
of catastrophic
consequences from rising
temperatures has been driven not so much by good science
as by computer models and adroit publicity fed to a compliant media.
As a
consequence, their results are strongly influenced by the low increase in observed
warming during the past decade (about 0.05 °C / decade in the 1998 — 2012 period compared to about 0.12 °C / decade from 1951 to 2012, see IPCC 2013), and therewith possibly also by the incomplete coverage
of global temperature observations (Cowtan and Way 2013).
Are you asking whether the shape
of the
temperature profile between say the Oceanic Mixed Layer (above the main thermocline) and the troposphere will change significantly
as a
consequence of global warming?
The
global average
temperature is continuing to rise
as a
consequence of warming driven by ever higher greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere, in response to the profligate
global consumption
of fossil fuels.
The range
of uncertainty for the
warming along the current emissions path is wide enough to encompass massively disruptive
consequences to societies and ecosystems:
as global temperatures rise, there is a real risk, however small, that one or more critical parts
of the Earth's climate system will experience abrupt, unpredictable and potentially irreversible changes.
Peter Cox is the originator / author
of the Triffid dynamic
global vegetation model which was used to predict dieback
of the Amazonian rain forest by 2050 and
as a
consequence a strong positive climate - carbon cycle feedback (i.e., an acceleration
of global warming) with a resultant increase in
global mean surface
temperature by 8 deg.
As a
consequence, between 1971 - 2000 and 1981 - 2010 the Dutch average
temperatures have risen by 0.42 degrees (per decade)-- more than twice the
global average and indicative for relatively rapid
warming over much
of Western Europe.
Much
of the harm these events cause in Europe comes from physical damage to its industrial life support system,
as the
global average
temperature continues to rise
as a
consequence of warming driven by ever higher greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere, in response to the profligate
global consumption
of fossil fuels.
US researchers report in the journal Nature that they collected fossil pollens from 642 ponds and lake beds across Europe and North America, to provide a record
of local
temperature shifts in the last 11,700 years, to conclude that — without
global warming as a
consequence of profligate human use
of fossil fuels — the world ought to be in a cool phase.
There is nothing wrong with «man made
global warming» but it is not the same thing
as «climate change» or «climate disruption» — one is the
consequence of the other,
global temperatures are only one aspect
of our climate.
[ii] The range
of uncertainty for the
warming along the current emissions path is wide enough to encompass massively disruptive
consequences to societies and ecosystems:
as global temperatures rise, there is a real risk, however small, that one or more critical parts
of the Earth's climate system will experience abrupt, unpredictable and potentially irreversible changes.
Climate models predict, that
as a
consequence of global warming, the TLT will
warm about 20 % faster than the Earth's surface
temperature.
As MIT Emeritus Professor Richard Lindzen has explained, the decline in storminess is a
consequence of reduced
temperature differentials between the tropics and exo - tropics that arise when
global average
temperatures are
warmer.
