2. warming is not even a thing. Andrew Bolt, News Corporation Australia's in-house climate
science mangler, could not hide his excitement that Professor England apparently now "admits"
that global warming has stopped. The study in question was led by Professor Matt England at the
University of New South Wales Climate Change Research Centre. Yet when it's all put into
context, practically all the signs show the impacts of human-caused climate change are trending
dramatically in the wrong direction -just as they have been for several decades. England's study
found that climate models had not been geared to account for the current two decade-long period
of strong trade winds in the Pacific. Sea Level Rise Once the researchers added this missing
windy ingredient to the climate models, the surface temperatures predicted by the models more
closely matched the observations -that is, the actual temperature measurements that have been
taken around the globe. England explains the study in this YouTube video. When the salty water
of the oceans heats up, it expands, pushing sea level higher. If ice that's attached to land such as
the two major ice sheets in Greenland and Antarctica - melt, they also add to the water in the
ocean, further pushing up sea levels. Melting glaciers also add to sea level rise Climate scientist
Professor Matt England explains his study on the influence of Pacific trade winds on global
temperatures So what's been happening while global warming was apparently having a holiday?
Here's a chart from Australia's CSIRO science agency showing sea level rise in recent decades.
The drop you can see around 2011 was actually down to water being temporarily stored on the
Australian land mass following the major flooding and rainfall event that year England told me:
Solution
1. SOME OF THE BARRIERS TO UNDERSTAND CLIMATE CHANGE
2. Yes really surprised, because many countries and people are suffering due to drastic changes
taking place in climate and by looking these conditions how are they publishing hiatus in climate
conditions.
3. More and more arguments we require to propaganda the Global Warming Issues. We have to
create awareness about this issue. People have to know about their climate conditions and their
changes, what are the reasons to changes? , how it can be solved?
