Global warming does not mean no winter, it means winter start later, summer hotter, as Gary Peters said «The global average surface temperature has risen between 0.6 °C and 0.7 °C since the start of the twentieth century, and the rate of increase since 1976 has been approximately three times faster than the century - scale trend.»

These wildfires release soot into the atmosphere, which accelerates the rate of melting of glaciers, snow and ice it lands upon, which can lead to less reflectivity, meaning more of the sun's heat is absorbed, leading to more global warming, which leads to even more wildfires, not to mention greater sea level rise, which is already threatening coastal areas around the world.

This would mean that overall the albedo forcing would double, and the rate of Arctic warming would suddenly double.

Southern Greenland turns out to have one of the slowest rates of warming of any land area in any of the scenarios (the figure is the mean over all models for the SRES A1B scenario).

We could reduce short - lived pollutants later, of course, but the inertia from CO2 - induced warming means that those measures can only slow the rate of warming, not reverse it and bring us back below 2 ̊C.

While noisy, the correlation looks significant, with those models that calculate a warmer mean temperature projecting (on average) a lower rate of future warming.

Connolley and Bracegirdle (2007) show that expected trends in a much larger sample of models are very varied (though the ensemble mean warms at about the rate seen in the Steig et al paper).

Slowing the rate of global warming means reducing fossil fuel use and halting tropical deforestation; that will give people more time to adapt to our destabilized climate, «using whatever means available.»

There are uncertainties in the rate at which it might warm, and the natural variation in the climate system means it will not be a smooth warming.

We still don't expect each year to be warmer than the last due to the intrinsic variability («weather») in global mean temperature (around 0.1 to 0.2 °C), but at the current rate of global warming (~ 0.17 °C / decade), new records can be expected relatively frequently.

One solution which has different assumptions than what is used to define the HadCRUT4 global values, would be to calculate the zonal means first and then area weight those — which assumes that missing data warms at the same rate as the local zonal average as opposed to the global means.

It is conceivable that aerosol effects (which includes «smoke») could also affect the lapse rate, but the aerosols tend to warm where they are located and depending on the composition, cool below — this gives an impact that — if it was a large factor in the tropical mean — would produce changes even larger than predicted from the moist adiabatic theory.

Much of the paleoclimate community has confused the correct inference that water properties changed (got fresher or warmer for example) with the conclusion that means that the flow rate had to change.

What this means is that the overall rate of absorption of CO2 by the oceans is a complex function of numerous processes — biological, chemical and physical — whose individual contributions are still a matter of active scientific research (and which are certainly changing as the planet warms).

«Since the AR4, there is some new limited direct evidence for an anthropogenic influence on extreme precipitation, including a formal detection and attribution study and indirect evidence that extreme precipitation would be expected to have increased given the evidence of anthropogenic influence on various aspects of the global hydrological cycle and high confidence that the intensity of extreme precipitation events will increase with warming, at a rate well exceeding that of the mean precipitation..

Those eruptions meant there was more subsequent warming in the following years, making the rate of warming appear to be rising as a result of man - made emissions or other factors, Christy said.

«We can't possibly evolve to match this rate [of warming] and, unless we get control of it, it will mean our extinction eventually.»

What this means is that we are actually in a whole lot more trouble than we thought and that global warming due to greenhouse gas emmisions should actually be happening at approximately twice the rate it is now.

We'll also be presenting the warming and cooling rates (the trends) on a zonal means (latitude average) basis.

At fixed surface temperature, a decrease in the lapse rate means the atmosphere warms.

As in prior years, 2017 also demonstrated very strong warming over the Arctic that significantly exceeds the Earth's mean rate of warming.

It can be seen from basic greenhouse theory that greenhouse warming should amplify not only the global mean surface temperature but also any variations in the global mean surface temperature that are from non-greenhouse sources at the same rate.

We used the multi-model mean warming associated with the RCP 8.5 emissions scenario (out to 2050) as a representation of the quickest rate of forced warming that could conceivably be occurring currently.

Qin Dahe, also co-chair of the working group, said: «As the ocean warm, and glaciers and ice sheets reduce, global mean sea level will continue to rise, but at a faster rate than we have experienced over the past 40 years.»

DK12 used ocean heat content (OHC) data for the upper 700 meters of oceans to draw three main conclusions: 1) that the rate of OHC increase has slowed in recent years (the very short timeframe of 2002 to 2008), 2) that this is evidence for periods of «climate shifts», and 3) that the recent OHC data indicate that the net climate feedback is negative, which would mean that climate sensitivity (the total amount of global warming in response to a doubling of atmospheric CO2 levels, including feedbacks) is low.

Since the mean radiative forcing progression in RCP 8.5 is likely steeper than the radiative forcing progression of the recent past, this finding can not be used to suggest that models are overestimating the response to forcings and it can not be used to infer anything about future rates of warming.

The lack of a statistically significant warming trend in GMST does not mean that the planet isn't warming, firstly because GMST doesn't include the warming of the oceans (see many posts on ocean heat content) and secondly because a lack of a statistically significant warming trend doesn't mean that it isn't warming, just that it isn't warming at a sufficiently high rate to rule out the possibility of there being no warming over that period.

What matters is not the warming rate since the mid-19th century but the fact that ice core data reveal the existence of a quasi-millenarian (natural) oscillation, that well correlates with observed (mean) warming observed since the mid-19th century.

The prediction of this is obvious: warming will continue at the same rate it's done since 1970, which means the plateau will not last.
