  • A fluctuation in surface temperature in historical context

    Open AccessJames S Risbey, Lewandowsky et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2018

    This work reviews the literature on an alleged global warming 'pause' in global mean surface temperature (GMST) to determine how it has been defined, what time intervals are used to characterise it, what data are used to measure it, and what methods used to assess it. We test for 'pauses', both in the normally understood meaning of the term to mean no warming trend, as well as for a 'pause' defined as a substantially slower trend in GMST. The tes…

  • Global temperature evolution

    Open AccessStefan Rahmstorf, Grant Foster et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2017

    Global surface temperatures continue to rise. In most surface temperature data sets, the years 2014, 2015 and again 2016 set new global heat records since the start of regular measurements. Never before have three record years occurred in a row. We show that this recent streak of record heat does not in itself provide statistical evidence for an acceleration of global warming, nor was it preceded by a 'slowdown period' with a significantly reduce…

  • Global temperature evolution 1979–2010

    Open AccessGrant Foster, Stefan RahmstorfARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2011

    We analyze five prominent time series of global temperature (over land and ocean) for their common time interval since 1979: three surface temperature records (from NASA/GISS, NOAA/NCDC and HadCRU) and two lower-troposphere (LT) temperature records based on satellite microwave sensors (from RSS and UAH). All five series show consistent global warming trends ranging from 0.014 to 0.018 K yr −1 . When the data are adjusted to remove the estimated i…
