The fact that the warming rate is stronger in an
already warm regime, and that the cooling rate is faster in a cooling regime indicates that acceleration is taking place.
There are 2 separate issues — between 1944 and 1998 there was a complete cooler regime and a
complete warmer regime.
Summary: Environmentalists hope the so - called «climate deal» between the U.S. and Communist China will lead to a worldwide
Global Warming regime.
Even more rationally you could divide the increase between 1994 and 1998 — and assume the cooler and
warmer regimes net out — by the elapsed time and you get 0.07 degrees C / decade.
Smaller cars are more expensive if equipped with hybrids, plus under a
global warming regime, you would have to pay more money for the same size car.»
I have structured my thesis into 3 hypotheses: 1) the effects of ocean acidification on the early life history stages of spawning Acropora sp. 2) The effects of ocean acidification and warming on the early life history stages of spawning acroporids and 3) The early skeletogenesis of acroporid recruits under near future acidification and
warming regimes.
Which if you think about it means that the late 20th century cooler and
warmer regimes are overwhelmingly unlikely to net out.
The difference between 1944 and 1998 — the peaks of
the warm regimes in the era of rapidly growing emissions was some 0.4 degrees C. Can we unambiguously attribute that to greenhouse gases?
A warming regime now won't change that — and pulling one out of his arse is hardly scientifically conclusive.
The subsequent cooler regime seen since may or may not transition within a decade to
a warmer regime again.
In the post war period we have had a complete cooling and
warming regime to 1998.
In 1910, the synchronisation was followed by
a warmer regime and several decades of warming.
At key moments, the climate shifts from
a warm regime to a cool regime, or vica versa.
Then when the direction reverses in
the warm regime, the cooling starts out slowly and then speeds up when it enters the cooler regime.
In addition to this overall warming trend, the Gulf of Alaska underwent a cyclical regime shift in 1976 - 1977 from a cold to
a warm regime.
To use a temporally stratified approach between temperature inflection points in 1944 and 1998 — a full cold and
warm regime — we get some 0.4 degree C residual at 0.07 degree C / decade.
