Re: [Phys-L] "Climate science is not settled"

1. The excuse that "no science is truly settled" is precisely that -- an excuse. There is a big difference between some *details* of a theory being unclear, and having essentially ALL existing climate models unable to accommodate the 15+ years temperature hiatus.

should one not balance this w/ a fifteen year greater than average increase increase?

The article claims, “… increasing heat had been trapped in the oceans, at lower depths than previously.[5]””



The early Spanish explorers reported California smog now attributed to tree vapour:

Additional proposed causes of the decreased rate of warming over the past 15 years include increased sulfur emissions from volcanic activity,[20][21] the emission of pine-smelling vapors from pine forests, which have been shown to turn into aerosols,[22][23] and the ban on chlorofluorocarbons as a result of the Montreal Protocol, since they were potent greenhouse gases in addition to their ozone-depleting properties.[24][25]

bc thinks, What hiatus?
World Meteorological Organisation climate report[edit]
When announcing the annual World Meteorological Organisation climate report in March 2014, the WMO secretary-general Michel Jarraud said that there had been no pause, with 2013 continuing a long-term warming trend showing "no standstill in global warming". 2013 had been the sixth warmest year on record, and 13 of the 14 warmest years on record had occurred since the start of 2000.[31] He said that "The warming of our oceans has accelerated, and at lower depths. More than 90 percent of the excess energy trapped by greenhouse gases is stored in the oceans."[32]
