Unfortunately for policymakers and the public, while the basic science pointing to a rising human influence on climate is clear, many of the most important questions will remain surrounded by deep complexity and uncertainty for a long time to come: the pace at which seas will rise, the extent of warming from a certain buildup of greenhouse gases (climate sensitivity), the impact on hurricanes, the particular effects in particular places (what global warming means for Addis Ababa or Atlanta).

Secondly, while there are indeed lots of other unsustainable human impacts on ecosystems and the Earth's biosphere generally, the rapidly escalating effects of anthropogenic global warming threaten to overwhelm all of those other problems in the very near future, with devastating impacts not only for human civilization and the human species, but for all life on Earth, for a long, long time.

I don't think I try to poke holes at the idea that Arctic warming is «likely driven in part by the global greenhouse effect» but I do seek out weaknesses with suggestions that it is driven entirely, or to some very large degree, by a human - enhanced greenhouse effect (at least at the current time).

The observed warming is likely the result of a combined effect: data strongly suggest that the AMO has been in a warming phase for the past two or three decades, and we also know that at the same time anthropogenic global warming is ongoing.

Global warming, on the other hand, is far less of an immediate threat, many of its effects can not be reversed no matter what we do, the cost of attempting such a reversal could destroy the economies of emerging nations and make their development impossible — and it is a slow moving threat, that governments can plan to deal with over time.

This would actually not be true at sufficiently high latitudes in the winter hemisphere, except that some circulation in the upper atmosphere is driven by kinetic energy generated within the troposphere (small amount of energy involved) which, so far as I know, doesn't result in much of a global time average non-radiative energy flux above the tropopause, but it does have important regional effects, and the result is that the top of the stratosphere is warmer than the tropopause at all latitudes in all seasons so far as I know.

I do agree that Earth is not Venus — some scientists have already told me how much they hate the label «Venus effect,» but I find it informative, simply because it gives some idea about the runaway global warming that did happen 5 times on Earth (which later, obviously, stabilized back to livable conditions).

So, the Alaska climate site statement referring to the 1977 PDO shift as «natural» is misleading in the extreme in that the effect of global warming on the PDO warm phase would be with regard to its persistence and possibly its timing.

I haven't thought much about the THC although I've expressed doubt about seeing large regional cooling if it did shut down or change direction, mainly because global warming is so rapid that any cooling effect with time would be dampened by warming factors going on.

I detest climate studies that correlated what is happening in the NH directly to the SH, suggesting global effects, and especially ones that denote a signal from short time spans, then correlating the span with global warming, rather than global cooling.

But if you're saying that the effect of global warming on moisture is as if sea level rise initially only affected the wave peaks, and it takes a very long time for the troughs to catch up, and therefore the waves * would * get bigger if the seas rose fast enough, then maybe.

«We really need to know the mechanisms before we can establish any cause and effect,» said Terry Root, a Stanford University biologist who last month published a paper linking changes in timing of migration, and reproduction in hundreds of plant and animal species, to global warming.

Each month brings us more frightening news on the effects of global warming, but because the changes are gradual, there's never a clear signal that it's time to step up to stronger action.

If there were an empirical study of the effects of warming (or climate change) on human populations — just as with plant and animal populations — it would have to span the years from 1970 to 1997 approximately, since there hasn't been appreciable global warming since that time.

I can understand that, since many times the estimates of future effects of global warming listed in previous reports have turned out to be underestimates.

This might be a good time to review all the potential signs and signals of AGW (all three parts: anthropogenic, global, warming), how to distinguish anthropogenic CO2 effects from natural variability and land use changes, and how long an interval the apparent signal has to persist in order to reach a reasonable conclusion.

I know many on this site beleive peak oil is a bigger threat than global warming, but I can't help but think the 20 - 100 year time lag between CO2 release and maximum effect is a far less addressable than issues of increasing fossil fuel prices.

3) What effect will a change in the rate of warming, determined by answers to the previous two questions, have on global temperatures and in what time - frame?

The models make atmospheric CO2 concentration the cause of warming, but fail to account for either the solubility effect of CO2 in water, the intense outgassing in the Eastern Equatorial Pacific, or the effects of climatologists» formula for the residence time of atmospheric CO2 (it's quite short - lived (~ 1.5 years), not long - lived (decades to centuries), and its lumpy in the atmosphere, not global).

Thermal expansion of seawater and melting continental ice sheets relevant to global warming are tiny effects relative to secular sea level change of ancient times.

And it seems if somehow the ocean's effect is reduced, one will colder conditions and possibly even higher day time high temperatures, but there less room to get warmer, as compared to get cooler, and so global temperature lowers.

While some austerity mongers, like David Cameron in Britain, claim to care about global warming and may believe that the fictional shortage of government money he promotes is a stand - in for the real shortage of atmospheric assets of the earth, the overall effect of austerity is to, as with neoliberalism more generally, to undermine the critically important instrument of government at exactly the time when it is needed most.

The iris hypothesis has not withstood the test of time - subsequent research has found that if it exists, the effect is much smaller than originally hypothesized, and may even slightly amplify rather than reducing global warming.

From the paper: «The results also 1) reveal a significant level of coupling between ocean and land temperatures that remains even after the effects of ENSO and volcanic eruptions have been removed; 2) serve to highlight the improvements in the quality of the time series of global - mean land temperatures with the increase in the areal coverage of the station network from 1951 onward; and 3) yield a residual time series in which the signature of anthropogenically induced global warming is more prominent.»
