A major new study from NOAA finds more evidence that we may be witnessing the start of the long-awaited jump in global temperatures. As reported in April, many recent studies have found that we are about to enter an era of even more rapid global warming.
Indeed, one March study, "Near-term acceleration in the rate of temperature change," warns the speed-up is imminent — with Arctic warming rising a stunning 1°F per decade by the 2020s.
The new study in Science from a team of NOAA scientists, "finds that the rate of global warming during the last 15 years has been as fast as or faster than that seen during the latter half of the 20th Century," as NOAA explains.
The director of NOAA's National Centers for Environmental Information, Thomas Karl, told the UK Guardian that "considering all the short-term factors identified by the scientific community that acted to slow the rate of global warming over the past two decades (volcanoes, ocean heat uptake, solar decreases, predominance of La Niñas, etc.) it is likely the temperature increase would have accelerated in comparison to the late 20th Century increases."

However, over the full period of record, from 1880 to present, the newly calculated warming trend is not substantially different than reported previously (0.68°C / Century (new) vs 0.65°C / Century (old)), reinforcing that the new corrections mainly have in impact in recent decades.
Wonder what caused that cooling trend between 1880-1940.
We figure that out and we're golden.

wrong.
It is from the article. Take time from being the smartest guy in every room and read the link.
Extra dumb. but expected
Can we stop posting the same thing about the end of mankind due to global warming over and over again in different threads? Is there a way we could have one thread titled "Global Warming" that y'all can post your updates in for us?
