Two
years ago, Asness and an AQR colleague raised hackles with a research paper that argued that the global temperature

years do not,
on their own, support an alarmist view of global

warming trends of 2016.
While a 16 -

trends, the researchers found that
warming continued at most locations
on the planet and during much of the
year, but that
warming was offset by strong cooling during winter months in the Northern Hemisphere.
Launching his long - awaited plan to combat climate change today, Obama explicitly linked current hardships to our planet's

So the report notes that the current «pause» in new global average temperature records since 1998 — a
year that saw the second strongest El Nino
on record and shattered
warming records — does not reflect the long - term
trend and may be explained by the oceans absorbing the majority of the extra heat trapped by greenhouse gases as well as the cooling contributions of volcanic eruptions.
However, Goddard said the results don't fully show the slowdown has disappeared when comparing the past 15
years to the decades preceding that period and that understanding the natural fluctuations in climate
on a
year - to -
year (or even decade - to - decade) basis provides important context to the
warming trends driven by carbon dioxide.
The findings show a slight but notable increase in that average temperature, putting a dent in the idea that global
warming has slowed over the past 15
years, a
trend highlighted in the most recent Intergovernmental Panel
on Climate Change report.

2) Three
years ago, I tried to get a handle
on whether UHI was responsible for the recent
warming trend in most of the temperature datasets by comparing the
trends for the UAH / MSU 2LT channel and the Jones et al. surface data for some of the world's «empty places».
While this does not mean that each winter will be
warmer than the one before, the overall
trend indicates that winters have been getting

years, and will likely continue to do so.
It appears that the climate changes according to a repeating 60

I plan
on continuing
on with the off the shoulder
trend I fell in love with last
year (see above) and I could always use a few more of my

Well I wanted to let you know that Petcurean has recently launched a brand new line of pet food called «Gather», and the idea behind Gather is to provide food for dogs and cats with sustainability and transparency and organic ingredients are the key aspects of the brand, and we know that one of the biggest
trends right now in both the human and pet food arenas are... global
warming, climate change, extremes in weather, it's all
on their minds, so we just launched Gather in August of this
year and we'll be starting to stress the food to reach all stores in October, so we're really excited about that.
I think volcanic forcing is
on a
warming trend, because volcanic activity is weighted towards the beginning of the 30
year period.
In press briefings and interviews I contributed to, I mostly focused
on two issues — that 2014 was indeed the
warmest year in those records (though by a small amount), and the continuing long - term
trends in temperature which, since they are predominantly driven by increases in greenhouse gases, are going to continue and hence produce (
on a fairly regular basis) continuing record
years.
The report touches
on the «temperature hiatus» of the last 15
years, but notes (as in the graphic above) that the basic
trend in
warming is unrelenting when looked at decade by decade.
While periods of increased and decreased
warming exist over the 132 -
year period, the linear rate is still ~ 0.6 C / century, and the most recent monthly GISS values fall right

Climate models have passed a broad range of validation tests — e.g. a 30 -

On the other hand, in a statistical model, parameters of the model are determined by a fit to the model.

On # 72: Gavin, isn't the real point that the magnitude of individual

years of 3/4 + / - 1/4 °C, a
warming rate of 0.15 + / - 0.05 °C per decade.
We will at some point post something
on the climate / hurricane arguments, but a basic fact is that there is a huge difference between claiming that global
warming trends will tend, statistically, to lead to more / larger hurricanes, and attributing specific events in specific
years to such causes.
Although a significant natural influence
on interannual weather, the temperature effects of the cycle smooth out over
years and decades, and aren't linked to the overall
warming trend.
While we're
on the subject, it's worth noting that 2005 is
on track to be the second
warmest year, plus of course the
years in between haven't exactly been cool relative to the long - term
trend.
Re # 15: 1998 (the first
year in Manny's proposed cooling

Another important paper of recent is by Easterling and Wehner that demonstrates that cooling
on timescales of

warming trend induced by radiative forcing.
Seems the actual science
on this is clear that storms are getting stronger each
year in a statistical way that matches the
warming trend.
Jorge Sarmiento and his group here at Princeton have discussed this paper and Jorge can give you more details
on reservations that he has..., but one bottom line is that 9
years is obviously a very short time for detection of global
warming trends.
«Today, scientists who study the links between solar activity and climate are confident that the small variations in TSI associated with the eleven -

warming trends seen
on Earth during the last century.
http://humbabe.arc.nasa.gov/~fenton/ Note that this global
warming as been studied by only one research team and presented in one article (to be compared to the thousands of articles studying climate
trends on earth), based
on partial satellite data, and there is a serious debate now amongst the planetologists community to determine if this is a persistent
trend or if it will stop in a few
years.
--
Warm temperature
trends continued near the Earth's surface: Four major independent datasets show 2013 was among the
warmest years on record, ranking between second and sixth depending upon the dataset used.
In other words, if you had used the 1988 paper to predict the next 20

trend, though you would not have done so well if e.g. you had based long - term agriculture policy or anything else where you needed to know the exact location of the
warming on the paper.

years.
Now, one
year doesn't make a
trend, but this does — 14 of the 15
warmest years on record have all fallen in the first 15

If you then compare that
trend with the
trend centered
on 1988 and previous
years, you find an indisputable
trend of climate
warming.
A statistical model (based
on the work of Judith Lean at the Naval Research Laboratory) that accounts for solar variability, El Niño, volcanic activity, and greenhouse
warming indicates that the underlying
trend of global
warming has accelerated over the past 15
years.
If you do the same for 31
year averages, 32
year averages, 33
year averages, etc.,
on on through at least 70
year averages, you continue to find an indisputable
trend of climate
warming — even if you dismiss the land data as flawed because of the use of daily extremes rather than a more robust indication of the daily mean.
(As it happens, Dr. Hansen's lab posted its final analysis of 2008 temperatures today, essentially closing the books
on what was a relatively cool
year amid a long - term
warming trend).
Now, one
year doesn't make a
trend, but this does - 14 of the 15

Bob D. wrote: «As long as the
trend from global GISS is still positive for the last 10
