Is there enough data to establish a 2sigma likelihood that global warming is accelerating?

Posted on April 3, 2010 by admin

I keep reading expressions of concern by climate scientists that the global warming trends are much more serious than what has generally been articulated to the general public. Could you provide more details as to sources and documentation on this?

No. We have had no statistically significant warming for the past 15 years, and slight cooling for the past eight.

The ocean heat content has been falling also for the last eight.
