warmed by 0.6 degrees
over the prior 50 years, but occasional, unexplained temperature fluctuations of as much as 0.3 degrees countered the rise at times and resulted in apparent

The most obvious explanation for the striking failure of most climate models to account for the
pause in
warming over the past decade is that the value of ∆ T2 is much smaller than the IPCC value.

over 400 parts per million of carbon dioxide and global
warming has stopped... it's
paused.
«A reduction in the rate of
warming (not a
pause) is a result of short - term natural variability, ocean absorption of heat from the atmosphere, volcanic eruptions, a downward phase of the 11 - year solar cycle, and other impacts
over a short time period,» Cleugh says.
The second hypothesis is that ENSO is responsible for the slowdown since it magnified the
warming over the first half of the
pause and reduced it
over the last half.

over 400 parts per million of carbon dioxide and global

pause in global
warming», it is baffling to me how anybody would think a bit of cooling,

over two or even ten decades can indicate very much at all.

pause» turning around and

pause in global
warming over the last 100 years.
And I assume the Sierra Club would issue a public retraction if confronted with the facts that the data are precisely as I described that
over the last 18 years there has been no significant
warming and indeed that is why global
warming alarmists invented the term «the

pause in global
warming because the data demonstrate what you just said, that the Earth is cooking and
warming, is not back up by the data.

While the AMO has not changed much in the past 10 years, the strong increase in North Atlantic temperatures between 1970 and 2000 may have contributed to the rapid rise in global temperatures
over that period, and the leveling - out of the AMO may help make the observed
pause in
warming more likely.
The data and the statistical analysis does not provide the evidence that the so called «
pause», a time period with a lower trend estimate than the longer - term trend estimate, was more than just a short - term fluctuation around the median
warming trend, mostly due to short - term unforced internal variability in the Earth system (and some contribution from decreasing solar activity and increased reflecting aerosols in the atmosphere, counteracting the increased greenhose gas forcing to some degree), like the «acceleration»
over the 16 - year period from 1992 to 2007 (e.g., UAH trend: 0.296 + / - 0.213 (2 sigma) deg.
Obviously, there is a logical contradiction here, if both conclusions, «global
