Unfortunately for policymakers and the public, while the basic science pointing to a rising human influence on climate is clear, many of the most important questions will remain surrounded by deep complexity and uncertainty for a long time to come: the pace at which seas will rise, the extent of warming from a certain buildup of greenhouse gases (climate sensitivity), the impact on hurricanes, the particular effects in particular places (what global warming means for Addis Ababa or Atlanta).

I am very well aware and have previously blogged that there are multiple factors that determine the degree of ice lost any given year — but the literature is clear that even in 2007, global warming played «a large part» (see «What drove the dramatic retreat of arctic sea ice during summer 2007?

A corollary of what he is saying is that the sea is basically heated by visible light absorption rather than by heat radiation and is pretty impervious to global warming!

pg xiii This Policymakers Summary aims to bring out those elements of the main report which have the greatest relevance to policy formulation, in answering the following questions • What factors determine global climate 7 • What are the greenhouse gases, and how and why are they increasing 9 • Which gases are the most important 9 • How much do we expect the climate to change 9 • How much confidence do we have in our predictions 9 • Will the climate of the future be very different 9 • Have human activities already begun to change global climate 9 How much will sea level rise 9 • What will be the effects on ecosystems 9 • What should be done to reduce uncertainties, and how long will this take 9 This report is intended to respond to the practical needs of the policymaker.

But the issue is not really the global mean temperature (even though that is what is usually plotted), but the distribution of temperature change, rainfall patterns, winds, sea ice etc..

However, to support the assertion that global warming is responsible for a great deal of damage from such events, it is sufficient to show that such events have the «signature» of global warming — for example, that specific global warming - related factors such as abnormally high sea surface temperatures, elevated water vapor levels, and altered jet stream patterns contributed to making Hurricane Sandy what it was — even if those factors can not be precisely quantified.

Here's the global sea ice trend, combining what's going on up north and down south.

What is distinct about global warming is that the basics of 100 - year - old theory have stood the test of time (more CO2 = warming world = less ice + higher seas and lots of climate change).

In what may prove to be a turning point for political action on climate change, a breathtaking new study casts extreme doubt about the near - term stability of global sea levels.

But if you google «noaa ocean heat and salt content» and compare the first two graphs («0 - 700m global ocean heat content» versus «0 - 2000m global ocean heat content») you will see that the sea SURFACE temperature is much more reflective of what is going on in the atmosphere than the oceans depths.

Interesting you cut - off total ice extents at 2012, especially since the total extent of Arctic sea ice has actually increased since then, and in fact the Antarctic ice extents are at a RECORD MAXIMUM — so things aren't always what they appear to be in a very complex system known as global climate.

Researchers from the University of Colorado, US, examined the coverage of global sea - level rise projections to 2100 in what have been deemed influential newspapers in the US and UK — the New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Financial Times, The Times (London), the Guardian and the Telegraph.

The deceleration of temperature warming is also seen in the major satellite measurements and the global land and sea observations, although not as pronounced as what took place in the continental U.S.

As we will discuss in this section, this makes it extremely difficult to reliably estimate what global, absolute sea level changes have been.

-- Susan Solomon, Nature The Long Thaw is written for anyone who wishes to know what cutting - edge science tells us about the modern issue of global warming and its effects on the pathways of atmospheric chemistry, as well as global and regional temperatures, rainfall, sea level, Arctic sea - ice coverage, melting of the continental ice sheets, cyclonic storm frequency and intensity and ocean acidification.

Now that it is possible to simulate the Madden Julian Oscillation (MJO) signal explicitly in global atmospheric models, hypotheses about what controls observed relationships between sea surface temperatures (SSTs) and the MJO can be explored.

When sceptics look at statistical data, whether it is recent ice melt, deep sea temperatures, current trend in global surface temperatures, troposphere temperatures, ice core records etc. they look at the data as it is without any pre-conceptions and describe what it says.
