Sentences with phrase «year warm blip»

Not exact matches

An important emerging issue, according to Stocker, is whether the unexpected hiatus in atmospheric warming over the past 15 years is a blip or evidence of a longer term trend.

But this early foray into winter weather is just a small blip in the overall global picture, which is of a warming world that is still on track to see 2014 set the mark for hottest year on record, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said Thursday.

«Actually, with the exception of 1998 — a «blip» year when temperatures spiked because of a strong «El Nino» effect (the cyclical warming of the southern Pacific that affects weather around the world)-- the data on the Met Office's and CRU's own websites show that global temperatures have been flat, not for ten, but for the past 15 years.

We have a 161 year record (HadCRUT3), warts and all, that tells us the warming was around 0.7 °C over the entire period, or a linear warming rate of between 0.04 and 0.05 °C per decade, so this is probably more meaningful than the 65 - year «blip» (or the even less meaningful most recent 30 - year «blip», 1976 - 2005, used by IPCC to demonstrate AGW).

It is possible than a century long blip in temperature might not show up in this reconstruction so in some way we are limited in how we compare this reconstruction to the past 100 years of warming.

«Actually, with the exception of 1998 — a «blip» year when temperatures spiked because of a strong El Niño effect (the cyclical warming of the southern Pacific that affects weather around the world)-- the data on the Met Office's and CRU's own websites show that global temperatures have been flat, not for 10, but for the past 15 years.»

He further admitted that in the last 15 years there had been no «statistically significant» warming, although he argued this was a blip rather than the long - term trend.

The HadCRUT record (preferred by IPCC) shows three statistically indistinguishable multi-decadal warming «blips» (of about 30 years each and warming rates between 0.14 and 0.16 C per decade), the first two of which occurred prior to any significant human CO2 emissions.
