Pause at the end position of each rep.. As soon as you finish the last rep
go into dislocations, again for 10 reps. 3 rounds of this should leave your shoulders lose and very
warm.
So if you just took the relative change since 1999, not the absolute numbers as compared to the red curve, their new model would predict the same
warming as a standard scenario run (i.e. the black one), which would hardly have been a reason to
go to the worldwide media with a «
pause in
warming» prediction.
The fact that the hindcasts with their method perform worse than a standard IPCC scenario, the number of failed previous cooling predictions, the negative skill in the Gulf Stream and deep - water formation regions... should these not have cautioned them against
going to the media to forecast a
pause in global
warming?
And then Joe
goes on to point out that one possible explanation for the
pause is measurement — there's been a ton of
warming in the Arctic as if we are somehow hiding that fact when we talk about the
pause.
Realize that as long as the Earth accumulates heat, there is no
pause in
warming regardless of what part of the Earth the heat
goes to
It's too soon to say whether the current «
pause» in
warming is anything more than statistics being clouded by one unusual El Nino event, but we should be thinking now about possible explanations just in case something more interesting is
going on.
I guess
warming will necessarily have its ups and downs due to weather cycles but a long
pause at this particular time would be devastating for both political and popular reaction and a quick rise afterwards would have more dire consequences than a steady rise for several reasons I will not
go into now.
I find concerned liberals are loath to talk about how consistently wrong climate models have been or about the «
pause» in global
warming that has
gone on for over fifteen years, while climate skeptics avoid discussion of things like ocean acidification and accelerated melting in Greenland and the Arctic.
If global
warming were to «
pause», it would require an explanation of where the energy from the global imbalance is
going.
Since OHC has continued
going up throughout, Pielke correctly predicted the current situation, and the globe has
warmed throughout the «
pause».
I think we are too conditioned to
warming and
pauses now to notice that those coolings have been
gone for the last century.
The study — «Possible Artifacts of Data Biases in the Recent Global Surface
Warming Hiatus» — was published by Science magazine in June 2015 and pushed back against assertions from other research groups that found a
pause in rising global temperatures from 1998 to 2012, which
goes against climate change advocates» insistence that the earth's temperature has been on a steady incline for decades.
A
pause would, at least in part, discredit arguments for global
warming and lend credence to skeptics who argue the climate
goes through a natural cycle of changes.
Just as a hypothetical example: If climate scientist will tell me that recent
pause in global
warming is due to the effect of an inactive sun (which is the reality as reported by following) http://www.spaceweather.com and that they will
go back and improve their models to account for this, then I would be more inclined to believe their other claims... Instead the IPCC doubles down on their predictions and claim the future effects will be worst than they originally thought?
The
warming pause has now
gone on for 17 years and 9 months.
About that time, WND columnist Lord Monckton wrote: «Worldwide, the liarists — growing ever more desperate as the Great
Pause grows ever longer — are taking up the cry that The Models Were Right All Along But The
Warming Has
Gone Into Hiding, Really And Truly It Has, With Knobs On, Cross My Heart And Hope To Die, So There.
C02 has little effect; late 20th century
warming was largely a heat lag effect from solar activity, combined with a positive PDO; (this also fits perfectly with the
pause since the late 1990s, which was not predicted using AGW); with currently a negative PDO and reduced solar activity, which means temperature will stay flat or
go down to at least 2035, with the solar activitylikely remaining low.
If you «
pause» it means
warming may resume at some time in the future (or perhaps even cooling... but let's not
go there for the sake of this argument).
The rest of the world is experiencing a «
pause» in
warming that has been
going on for 15 years now.
If you assume that the model runs are basically correct in the long term (ie, that the amount of
warming that they predict in the long term is
going to happen, and that the «
pause» is just a
pause caused by natural variation), then it is a simple matter to plot the contribution from natural variability.
on SkS they
go on an on with lots of graphs «proving» there is no «
pause» and that
warming continues (which comes across as pretzel logic to my ear)
Note in a previous discussion Steven, a Luke
warmer, passionate about saving the planet, said to me that the longer the
pause goes the lower the climate sensitivity would be and did not rule it out
going under 1.6.
It is always the
warmest this or the
warmest that as if that is
going to end the
pause.
, according to NASA scientists: «Coincidence, conspired to dampen
warming trends» — Excuse number 10 for global
warming «
pause» or «standstill» — NASA's Gavin Schmidt & colleagues finds «that a combination of factors, by coincidence, conspired to dampen
warming trends in the real world after about 1992» — Latest excuse for global temperature standstill mocked by skeptics: «Apparently, if you
go back and rework all the forcings, taking into account new data estimates (add half a bottle of post-hoc figures) and «reanalyses» of old data (add a tablespoon of computer simulation) you can bridge the gap and explain away the
pause.»
Wait... so all the
warming from methane, land use and natural variation (the natural variation that is the new explanation for the
Pause) suddenly
goes to zero?
Unfortunately using global average surface air temperatures as a measure of total
warming ignores the fact that most of the heat (more than 93 %)
goes into our oceans, which continue to
warm without any sign of a
pause, as you can see below.
The oceans haven't been
warming because they have been absorbing the man - added CO2 emissions — they've been
warming because of underwater volcanism which means WE ARE ALL
GOING TO DIE because now nothing is accountable for thecatastrophic never - ending rise of fossil fuel emissions» — and they will conveniently forget they have been explaining the
pause of the last 18 years based on the oceans absorbing the CO2...
So if
going forward no
warming takes place up to around 2030, then the solar - climate connection would have passed a very strong test, as the main alternative hypothesis (CO ₂) did not predict the
pause and has consistently predicted more
warming.
Indeed, Marlo, I would think that a necessary condition for validation is that the models can explain the
pause, which is never
going away, even if we get another spurt of
warming.
The present
pause in
warming goes back to 1998, a time just ten years after the foundation of the IPCC.
While it's consistent, it's hilarious that the «skeptics» have been banging on about a statistically non-significant «
pause,» only to fret that it's
gone because of a very slight, statistically non-significant
warming trend.
I think the same «statistics» that say «we might be experiencing a
pause» say we might be
going to H... in a hand basket more quickly then the most rabid «
warmest» ever preached.
