Do I understand that if the earth is in for a cooling cycle to peak around 2020, that it doesn't negate the global
warming contribution of CO2?
Rapidly industrializing nations such as China and Brazil pledged to account for their global
warming contributions as long as developed nations provide them with clean energy technology and help bolster their ability to respond to climate change.
According to other debunking threads here (CO2 lags / leads temp - Coming out of LIA - Water is greatest ghg) there should be a
feedback warming contribution from both of the gasses.
More frequent La Ninas and the negative phase of the PDO are the reason for the increased transfer of Global
Warming contribution into the deeper oceans in the last 15 years... This means previously the oceans were not the receptor of as much GW heat content?
Spatial patterns of the long - term
global warming contribution to the observed temperature trends in the GISTEMP (upper panel) and ERSST (lower panel) datasets.
They discuss CO2, another GHG, but without any mention of
its warming contribution, and they do so in the same manner as N2, which has no warming potential.
To put it another way, the global
warming contribution to the magnitude of the heat wave was 29 % (1.75 °C / 6 °C = 0.29) while the natural variability contribution to the magnitude of the heat wave was 71 % (4.25 °C / 6 °C = 0.71).
For years it was widely believed among scientists that water vapor so outshone other potential greenhouse gases as to render
their warming contributions moot.
Holland and Bruyère (2013) developed an Anthropogenic Climate Change Index (ACCI) to investigate the potential global
warming contribution to current tropical cyclone activity.
More on the high, but heretofore largely neglected, role that soot plays in increasing global warming: Research from Stanford University shows that soot is second only to carbon dioxide in
its warming contribution, and that reducing it may be the only way we can stop Arctic sea ice melting.
