The IPCC predicts that increases in global mean temperature of less than 1.8 to 5.4 degrees Fahrenheit (1 to 3 degrees Celsius) above 1990 levels will produce beneficial impacts in some regions and harmful ones in others. Net annual costs will increase ...
HOMOGENIZATION OF SWEDISH TEMPERATURE DATA. PART I: HOMOGENEITY TEST FOR LINEAR TRENDS With this test it is possible to detect and estimate gradual changes of the mean value in a candidate series compared with a homogeneous reference series... H Alexandersson,A Moberg - 《International Journal of...
Limiting global mean temperature rise to 1.5 °C is increasingly out of reach. Here we show the impact on global cooling demand in moving from 1.5 °C to 2.0 °C of global warming. African countries have the highest increase in cooling requireme
The latest WMO estimates show that the annual mean global near-surface temperature for each year between 2022 and 2026 is predicted to be between 1.1 and 1.7 degrees Celsius higher than preindustrial levels (the average over the years 1850-1900). In 2015, countries concluded the Paris Agreement...
The director of the Copernicus Climate Change Service said while the temperature data is "remarkable," it's "not really surprising" as humans continue to warm the planet.
Here we have the possibility to test the three mechanisms above given their poor correlation in our compiled dataset (R = 0.15) and the large gradient in each climatic factor (mean annual precipitation: 0.1 to 3.8 m/yr; mean annual temperature: −12.5 to 28.1 °C, Table 1)....
We estimated runoff sensitivities to global mean temperature change using climate experiments archived in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5) and compared with the similar CMIP3 results. We also evaluated differences in runoff sensitivity for the Earth System Models (ESMs) and Cl...
It has been verified that the global surface temperature has risen at an average rate of about 0.17 °C per decade since 1970 [1]. Moreover, the annual mean Arctic sea-ice extent decreased at a rate of about 3.5% to 4.1% per decade over the period from 1979 to 2012 [4]. The ...
reaching as far south as present-dayLondonandNew York City. Global annual mean temperature appears to have been about 4–5 °C (7–9 °F) colder than in the mid-20th century. It is important to remember that these figures are a global average. In fact, during the height of this last...
