In an unchanging climate, the random fluctuations would lead to warming in some parts of the world and cooling in others. In a world with just random local fluctuations but no climate change, about half the weather stations would show a (more or less significant) warming, the other half a cooling. It’s not hard to understand.

Another clue indicating a shortcoming is if you look at the atmospheric CO 2 -concentrations over time to see how much impact the IPCC reports have had on the real policy-makers in the world (Figure below). The cause of our changing climate is the increase in atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations that we have released into the air.

The radiators are, in fact, cooling down, but their stored heat is still warming the air in the room. By Richard B. Ricky) Rood.

The fact that there is a natural greenhouse effect (that the atmosphere restricts the passage of infra-red (IR) radiation from the Earth’s surface to space) is easily deducible from; i) the mean temperature of the surface (around 15ºC) and, ii) knowing that the planet is normally close to radiative equilibrium. in IPCC TAR).

The difference is due largely to the differences in the regional atmospheric response that occurs in concert with the SST warming. In particular, they don’t just respond to SST changes, but also how the atmosphere changes as the SSTs change. The key to understanding this lies in understanding what tropical storms respond to.
