This article presents a satellite-based regional warming simulation to diagnose the “hiatus” for 2001–2015 in China. Results show that the rapid warming is mainly in western and southern China, such as Yunnan (mean ± standard deviation: 0.39 ± 0.26 °C (10 yr)−1), Tibet (0.22 ± 0.25 °C (10 yr)−1), Taiwan (0.21 ± 0.25 °C (10 yr)−1), and Sichuan (0.19 ± 0.25 °C (10 yr)−1). On the contrary, there is a cooling trend by 0.29 ± 0.26 °C (10 yr)−1 in northern China during the recent 15 yr, where a warming rate about 0.38 ± 0.11 °C (10 yr)−1 happened for 1960–2000. Overall, satellite simulation shows that the warming rate is reduced to −0.02 °C (10 yr)−1. The changes in underlying surface, Earth's orbit, solar radiation and atmospheric counter radiation (USEOSRACR) cause China's temperature rise about 0.02 °C (10 yr)−1. A combination of greenhouse gases (GHGs) and other natural forcing (ONAT, predominately volcanic activity, and atmosphere and ocean circulation) explain another part of temperature trend by approximately −0.04 °C (10 yr)−1. We conclude that there is a regional warming hiatus, a pause or a slowdown in China, and imply that GHGs-induced warming is suppressed by ONAT in the early 21st century.

And all that with burgeoning CO2 levels. With China leading the way.

Hi Lee,
there are so many acronyms there that I'm finding it hard to follow.

ONAT?

Anyway - it proves that global warming has stopped.

Don't know exactly. But looking at the parentheses -

" and other natural forcing (ONAT, predominately volcanic activity, and atmosphere and ocean circulation) "

So it seems that other natural forcings are suppressing GHG induced warming; in China at least.

But being a magical molecule perhaps it can mean different things in different regions.

The greatest greenhouse gas is ordinary water vapor -
not CO2.

yes only trust these if it agrees with your worldview........
other wise no simulation is worth anything  ;) :D

Nope. Perhaps one day you might try science instead of shooting from the lip.

Let's see used satellite "data". The satellite "data" disagrees with the earth station "data".

BTW - did you know global warming began in the 1700's? Before industrialisation? That is before burning of more fossil fuels?

I wonder what caused that?

what model was used to figure our global warming from the 1700's Lee ? ;)

You have never heard of CET? And then there is paleo data.

Things like reduced crops due to cold. They used to record those things in those days too. That's how king's would determine how much would be paid by the serfs.

Did you learn nothing at school?

BTW - a paper by M Mann et al 2008.

Even he agrees.
