So this effect could either be the result of natural variability in Earth's climate, or yet another effect of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases like water vapor trapping more heat and thus warming sea - surface temperatures.

However, a warmer atmosphere would hold more water vapor, which ought to cause another degree or so of warming.

In June 2015, NOAA researchers led by Thomas Karl published a paper in the journal Science comparing the new and previous NOAA sea surface temperature datasets, finding that the rate of global warming since 2000 had been underestimated and there was no so - called «hiatus» in warming in the first fifteen years of the 21st century.
