So the report notes that the current «
pause» in new global average temperature records since 1998 — a year that saw the second strongest El Nino on record and shattered warming records — does not reflect the long - term
trend and may be explained
by the oceans absorbing the majority of the extra heat trapped
by greenhouse gases as well as the cooling contributions of volcanic eruptions.
As discussed above, if
by «hiatus» or «
pause» people mean a change to the long - term
trends, then the evidence for this has always been weak (see also this comment
by Mike).
Considered from this perspective, what we see is not so much a long term
trend followed
by a short term
pause, from ca 1998 - present, but a short term (1979 - 2001)
trend preceded and followed
by periods of little to no
trend.
Why hasn't the «
pause» been debunked just
by noting that it starts at a point nearly a decade's worth of warming above the
trend in 1997?
The interruption of the alleged long - term
trend,
by the
pause that is killing the cause, has had a devastating effect on their efforts to stampede the folks into drastic mitigation schemes.
But the
pause can be disproved
by picking the right ten year period to show a «warming
trend.»
If IPCC are right, and the current «
pause» will reverse itself at the end of this year, back to the observed warming
trend (0.11 ºC per decade since 1990), it will take 27 years for this to happen, i.e.
by 2041, or a bit sooner than predicted
by IPCC in 1990.
Tom, If you accept that the
pauses, previously occurring and the one at the present, are part of long period cycles whose long term average is related to the actual long term
trend of temperature (rather than the far steeper slope of rise from just 1980 to 1999), you are admitting that the rise (from whatever cause) has a slope of closer to 0.4 C per century than the super inflated values of 2C to 6C per century claimed
by the models and supporters of CAGW.
One thing that is amazing about the long
pause in global warming is that it is on top of ample evidence, for example, «CRUTem3 has overstated U.S. warming
trends during 1973 - 2011
by at least 50 %.»
How would the answer to this change if the
pause was either A. an offset of GHG's and aerosols and other anthro cooling forcings, or B. an offset of GHG's
by primarily (> 50 %) natural cooling
trends?
Also, using the same cherry picking approach as used
by «skeptics» for the recent time period, based on which they claim a «global warming stop» or «
pause» because of lacking statistical significance of a warming
trend, I even could claim a «
pause» in global warming from 1979 to at least the end of 1997.
The century long
trend is warming followed
by a substantial
pause (cooling) then warming again according to HADCRUT4 for a
trend of 0.08 C per decade.
Your Met Office graphs clearly show the current «
pause» (or downward
trend) in global temperature, which the DM article
by David Rose reported.
Matthew Marler, the
pause does not show up in 30 - year
trends because it was preceded
by a sharp rise.
Jim D «Matthew Marler, the
pause does not show up in 30 - year
trends because it was preceded
by a sharp rise.
, according to NASA scientists: «Coincidence, conspired to dampen warming
trends» — Excuse number 10 for global warming «
pause» or «standstill» — NASA's Gavin Schmidt & colleagues finds «that a combination of factors,
by coincidence, conspired to dampen warming
trends in the real world after about 1992» — Latest excuse for global temperature standstill mocked
by skeptics: «Apparently, if you go back and rework all the forcings, taking into account new data estimates (add half a bottle of post-hoc figures) and «reanalyses» of old data (add a tablespoon of computer simulation) you can bridge the gap and explain away the
pause.»
Has the «
pause» (natural cooling)
trend line now surpassed the length of the warming
trend line originally used
by CAGW movement?
It is a confirmation of the results also found
by other studies before, with varying methodology, that the recent alleged «
pause» is very likely, to a large degree, nothing more than just a temporary downward deviation from the median
trend by chance, mostly due to the chaotic ENSO variability imprinting itself on the global temperature
trends, like the «acceleration» between 1992 and 2007 (with a
trend of about 0.25 - 0.3 deg.
On the other hand, the «
pause» is being tested
by analyzing whether the shorter - term temperature
trend is a non-random deviation from the longer - term global warming
trend, which itself, as we know, is statistically significant.
My purpose in making the comments was to see if there was any acknowledgement of what I see as a possible pattern of stepped warming caused
by more or less regular
pauses in the overall warming
trend.
I do a variation of this
by subtracting out the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) from the GMST profile, which effectively removes the
pause / hiatus, leaving the underlying warming
trend in its wake:
You can see this problem
by creating «fake» long - memory datasets with a constant
trend, then see how often the tests you have used detect a false statistically significant
pause.
The GWPF: The UN's climate change chief, Rajendra Pachauri, has acknowledged a 17 - year
pause in global temperature rises, confirmed recently
by Britain's Met Office, but said it would need to last «30 to 40 years at least» to break the long - term global warming
trend.
