It is therefore a stretch — and as I said before, an uncharitable reading — to interpret Koonin's «1 % to 2 %» as being applicable to the change from pre-industrial, when Koonin agrees that's already been exceeded, and it's clear that Koonin believes that warming will continue.

(While the data did suggest strong positive water vapor feedback, which enhances warming, that was far exceeded by the cooling effect of negative feedback from cloud changes.)»

London, 19th April 2013 — Today new research by Carbon Tracker Initiative and the Grantham Research Institute on Climate Change and the Environment at London School of Economics and Political Science reveals that despite fossil fuel reserves already far exceeding the carbon budget to avoid global warming of more than 2 °C, $ 674 billion was spent last year finding and developing new potentially stranded assets.

And of course, NOAA always conveniently forgets about the substantial warming and climate change periods of the historical and geological past, which far exceed what NOAA has reported over the last 25 years.

Should a developed nation such as the United States which has much higher historical and per capita emissions than other nations be able to justify its refusal to reduce its ghg emissions to its fair share of safe global emissions on the basis of scientific uncertainty, given that if the mainstream science is correct, the world is rapidly running out of time to prevent warming above 2 degrees C, a temperature limit which if exceeded may cause rapid, non-linear climate change.

These changes far exceed those expected with global warming and occur much faster.

Even if rapid climate change is not triggered if the 2 °C warming is exceeded, this amount of warming will create huge harms to some people and nations around the world.

They are meeting to try and agree to a global legally binding climate treaty to keep global warming below 2 degrees Celsius, which is the agreed upon target that scientists say the world can not exceed if we are to avoid catastrophic runaway climate change.

Finds that average daytime surface temperature in the Jambi province increased by 1.05 °C over the last 16 years, which followed the trend of observed land cover changes and exceeded the effects of climate warming

Kip Hansen, we know that the forcing change exceeds the warming response so far because the imbalance is positive.

Indeed, the market conditions and policies necessary to make the tar sands a cost - effective source of energy will almost certainly result in dangerous levels of global warming that will exceed two degrees Celsius, the internationally agreed upon limit that will prevent climate change from destroying the planet.

Modeled regional and global climate responses to simulated (107, 110, 111) and reconstructed historical land cover changes over the past century (112) and millennium (113) generally agree that anthropogenic deforestation drives biogeophysical cooling at higher latitudes and warming in low latitudes and suggest that biogeochemical impacts tend to exceed biogeophysical effects (113).

The statement comes on the heels of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC) Fifth Assessment Report (AR5), which found that emissions related to human activities must not exceed 1 trillion tonnes C (1000 PgC) if we are to have a likely chance of limiting warming to 2 °C.

The report further notes that only major institutional and technological change will result in a better than even chance that global warming will not exceed this threshold.

As the chart reveals, every single medium and long - term period ending at September 1944 had global warming changes that exceeded their respective spans ending in September 2017.

Prior to the additional 50 % of total metric tonnes of CO2 emissions being added to the world's biosphere, global warming change easily matched or exceeded that experienced since 1988 - the year of NASA's James Hansen's predictions of climate apocalypse from human CO2.

For instance, does Lindzen really believe that attribution is impossible unless current changes exceed all known natural variations (implying that nothing could be said unless we got colder than Snowball Earth or warmer than the Cretaceous or sea level rose more than 120 meters....)?

Which leads to another observation about natural global warming and climate change: past empirical evidence from earlier in the 20th century confirms that Earth's natural climate oscillations can produce periods of significant temperature change increases that even exceed the most recent temperature climate change.

A land — sea surface warming ratio (or φ) that exceeds unity is a robust feature of both observed and modelled climate change.

Here, we present an explanation for time - invariant land — sea warming ratio that applies if three conditions on radiative forcing are met: first, spatial variations in the climate forcing must be sufficiently small that the lower free troposphere warms evenly over land and ocean; second, the temperature response must not be large enough to change the global circulation to zeroth order; third, the temperature response must not be large enough to modify the boundary layer amplification mechanisms that contribute to making φ exceed unity.

My own goal is to have readers (and maybe even but not necessarily Graeme) understand the invalidity of his argument asserting that (essentially) one sea level time series observation at one coastal location that (allegedly) doesn't show much change in several decades does not imply that the sea level changes have been the same at all other coastal locations (give or take 100 mm)- which implies that any observed variations exceeding this level in sea level rise at different locations around the world are «not real» and hence sea level rise due to global warming isn't anything to worry about.

During that time, net global surface temperatures changes haven't exceeded 1 °C from the coldest to the hottest climates, though we're now approaching that degree of change, with 1 °C warming since the LIA, 0.8 °C of that over the past century, with much more to come.

These gradually increase with time, then slow to 0.008 °C yr − 1 after the total increase exceeds 4 °C and the maximum tolerated warming is 4.5 °C assuming massive societal response to large changes (similar to the «backstop» technology deployed in DICE for large temperature changes).

But says the report, The «Dietary change is essential if global warming is not to exceed 2C.»

The report's co-author, Prof Corinne Le Quere, director of the Tyndall Centre for Climate Change Research and professor at the University of East Anglia, says, «Global CO2 emissions since 2000 are tracking the high end of the projections used by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, which far exceed two degrees warming by 2100.
