Yes, to get a really good tropical storm, you need tropical warm waters and an arctic airflow above it, giving a huge temperature gradient in the atmosphere (low level warm air and freezing air above).

The annual anomaly of the global average surface temperature in 2014 (i.e. the average of the near - surface air temperature over land and the SST) was +0.27 °C above the 1981 - 2010 average (+0.63 °C above the 20th century average), and was the warmest since 1891.

All CO2 molecules in the atmosphere are warmed to local air temperature by collision induced conduction to above this temperature.

Stepping back from there, Hansen looks at 1940 and above: «The approximate stand - still of global temperature during 1940 - 1975 is generally attributed to an approximate balance of aerosol cooling and greenhouse gas warming during a period of rapid growth of fossil fuel use with little control on particulate air pollution, but quantitative interpretation has been impossible» That's the excuse and it is laughable.

Map of air temperature anomalies for December 2009, at the 925 millibar level (roughly 1,000 meters [3,000 feet] above the surface) for the region north of 30 degrees N, shows warmer than usual temperatures over the Arctic Ocean and cooler than normal temperatures over central Eurasia, the United States and southwestern Canada.

Average air temperature over the land and sea surface was 0.56 degrees Celsius above the long - term average, tied with 2010 as the joint warmest year on record.

More clouds both drastically reduce energy input from the sun and simply slow release of what energy there is trapped in the lower troposphere, but the long term effect would be a fall in average temperature because of the significantly reduced input power but the atmosphere's ability to cool is aided by air current circulation whereby the warmer air rises above those low clouds and that infra - red is more easily re-emitted into space, whereby the low clouds now block that re-emission from hitting the ground again to any significant degree.

The global warming signal itself is a multidecadal feature of the climate, but just like the seasonal example above, it has been possible at times to take one period of one temperature record - surface air temperatures in most cases - and do a «January - February» job with it, thereby making the claim that temperatures are flatlining or even cooling.

It's true, warm air has made its way up to the high Arctic, driving temperatures up to 20C above average.

In turn the ocean surfaces prevent the air from warming because water always dictates the temperature of the air above.

And the thinner the ice, the easier it is actually to move it by winds, and the easier it is to be melted by the underneath warmer ocean and above surface air temperature.
