Scientists say humans are almost certainly responsible for climate change and the world is on course for
unprecedented warming over the next century.
This one, dating back a decade, particularly seems to show pressures within the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change to send a strong message: «I know there is pressure to present a nice tidy story as regards «apparent
unprecedented warming in a thousand years or more in the proxy data» but in reality the situation is not quite so simple...»]
It is these multiple lines of evidence that give the scientific community such strong confidence that humans are responsible for the recent
unprecedented warming of the surface of the Earth.
Keith Briffa, whose team reconstructed the contradictory temperature graph, was furious, and wrote: «I know there is pressure to present a nice tidy story as regards «
apparent unprecedented warming in a thousand years or more in the proxy data.»»
He also addresses the stunning admission that a widely publicized study
claiming unprecedented warming in the past 100 years was not «statistically robust» — another way of admitting that their conclusions are scientifically baseless.
Unprecedented warm waters off the Pacific coast over the past two years have led fish that marine mammals feed on to move to colder waters — making it difficult for seals and sea lions to nourish themselves, let alone feed their pups.
UNPRECEDENTED WARM SPELL — The Washington Post's Angela Fritz: «Records were dropping on Wednesday amid what appears to be an unprecedented February ridge of high pressure and all the heat that comes along with it.»
«It is entirely possible that summer sea ice meltback now is no worse than it was back in the 1920's and 1930's, when ship explorers
reported unprecedented warming and sea ice and glacier changes in the Arctic»
Unprecedented warm temperatures lead to the loss of more than half of the sea ice cover in the Bering Sea in two weeks, resulting in record lows for Arctic Ocean sea ice extent for the month of February.
Would those just happen to be the Holocene Optimum, the Minoan Warming, the Roman Warming and the Medieval Warming and all the
other unprecedented warmings we haven't named?
The very first line manages to slip in the
phrase unprecedented warming, but is really talking about only the last 1500 years (and many, including me, doubt that is really the case, taking into account unadjusted mid 20th century data, and the sparsity of the MWP proxy data, but that is another story).
Its abstract warns that «projected warming of the Antarctic continent during the 21st century may soon see significant and unusual warming develop across other parts of the Antarctic continent [besides the peninsula]», but no Steigian red spots of
supposedly unprecedented warming.
At some time or another, most people will have seen the hockey stick - the iconic graph which purports to show that after centuries of stable temperatures, the second half of the twentieth century saw a sudden and
unprecedented warming of the globe.
Schmidt's rough estimate, which he posted on Twitter, is based on the extraordinary and
unprecedented warming over the past 12 months, during which time global surface temperatures have shot past the 1 °C above pre-industrial level.
This prediction was seized upon by global warming advocates as «proof» that the South Pole's
unprecedented warming would melt sea ice and cause melting ice sheets to collapse, raising ocean levels and thus submerging worldwide coastal areas.
================================= Charting the Medieval Warm Period In The Southern Hemisphere By Dr.. The Medieval Warm Period — a global phenomenon,
unprecedented warming, or unprecedented data manipulation?
