In recent decades, much research on these topics has raised the questions of «tipping points» and «system flips,» where feedbacks in the system compound to rapidly cause massive reorganization of global climate over very short periods of time — a truncation or reorganization of the thermohaline circulation or of food web structures, for instance, caused by the loss of sea ice or warming ocean temperature

«Given the controversy
over the veracity of climate change data,» Sammon wrote, «we should refrain from asserting that the planet has
warmed (or cooled)
in any given
period without IMMEDIATELY pointing out that such theories are based upon data that critics have called into
question.»
This one is a little different than earlier ones, however,
in that
over 30 % of ALL the CO2 that was EVER emitted by humans was emitted
over this
period of «lack of
warming», raising some serious
questions regarding the magnitude of AGW.
