Human induced trend has two components, namely (a) greenhouse effect [this includes global and local / regional component] and (b) non-greenhouse effect [local / regional component]-- according to IPCC (a) is more than half of global average temperature anomaly wherein it also includes component of volcanic activities, etc that comes
under greenhouse effect; and (b) contribution is less than half — ecological changes component but this is biased positive side by
urban -
heat -
island effect component as the met network are concentrated in
urban areas and rural - cold -
island effect is biased negative side as the met stations are sparsely distributed though rural area is more than double to
urban area.
