This warming is offset by anthropogenic aerosols, reducing the total human caused warming to 1.6 Wm - 2.

Not exact matches

Putting it all together, Figure 2 compares the warming from human caused greenhouse gases to the total radiative forcing from all human sources.

In fact, according to a Skeptical Science review of studies on human and natural contributions to global warming: «Most studies showed that recent natural contributions have been in the cooling direction, thereby masking part of the human contribution and in some cases causing it to exceed 100 % of the total warming.»

But the paper makes no quantification of how much of the total observed warming is manmade, and therefore can't possibly be taken as an endorsement that most warming is human caused.

For instance, climate science and climate politics have moved unexpectedly quickly toward a broad understanding that we need to keep total human - caused global warming as far as possible below 2 °C (3.6 °F)-- and ideally to no more than 1.5 °C.

Put simply, saying one is 90 + % sure humans caused at least half of the warming since 1950 does nothing to indicate one believes humans are responsible for less than half the total warming since 1850.

Given historical climate and physics, the only way that implicit endorsement means «implicitly endors [ing] that humans are a cause of warming» where «a» is something less than primary (that is, over half) is if there is some as - yet undiscovered sink absorbing human CO2 emissions and, simultaneously, an as - yet undiscovered source of CO2 that is releasing it into the atmosphere - and moreover, the CO2 from this mysterious source just happens to possess a carbon isotope signature that matches fossil fuel CO2 as a total coincidence.

In a May 10, 2016, article, Almost Everything You Know About Climate Change Solutions Is Outdated, Part 1, Joe Romm says climate science and climate politics have moved unexpectedly quickly toward a broad understanding that we need to keep total human - caused global warming as far as possible below 2 degrees C (3.6 degrees F)-- and ideally to no more than 1.5 degrees C.

I would answer: keep in mind that, f.e., energy required for ice melting and due to GHGs (our «contribution») does not increases temperatures... You also have an explanation from «skepticalscience»:»... Most studies showed that recent natural contributions have been in the cooling direction, thereby masking part of the human contribution and in some cases causing it to exceed 100 % of the total warming».

Among the larger sample size of author self - rated papers in categories 1 and 7 (237 in total), 228 (96 %) endorsed the consensus view that humans are causing most of the current global warming.
