The new twist in this story is that the Arctic has been warming at at least double the pace of the rest of the globe, meaning that the difference in temperature between the Arctic and areas farther south has been shrinking.

Once such an IPCC exposition of the assumptions, complications and uncertainties of climate models was constructed and made public, it would immediately have to lead, in my view, to more questions from the informed public such as what does calculating a mean global temperature change mean to individuals who have to deal with local conditions and not a global average and what are the assumptions, complications and uncertainties that the models contain when it comes to determining the detrimental and beneficial effects of a «global» warming in localized areas of the globe.

Concensus AGW science predicts «X» as a consequence of «A.» But that doesn't mean it has to happen — it's still possible that AGW is sound but there something quirky about the Arctic that they missed, or that the changes will happen more slowly than expected, so it won't warm faster than the globe and / or sea ice won't decline.

And at worst, it also cooled the globe from at least 1965 to 1980, which means that CO2 warming in that period was actually much greater than is evidenced by the current temperature record, but will not measurable until one full cycle of negative / positive AMO plays out.

It is tempting but incorrect to think GW means uniform warming in all regions of the globe.

The Google Map tour is part of the CalADAPT initiative, which hopes to provide a way to visualize changes so that politicians - and everyone - can really see and understand what climate change means to our state and our globe, so that they may take more impactful steps to prevent further warming.

That means that anthropogenic aerosols have been a mitigating factor when it comes to the warming of the globe over the past century.
