Forests ‘held their breath’ during global warming
Jan 24^th, 2017 at 11:32am

Just three weeks after a BEST study concluded that there was no hiatus (pause), warm ships engine rooms didn't impart a warming bias, buoys imparted a cooling bias; comes this -

"Global forest ecosystems, widely considered to act as the lungs of the planet, ‘held their breath’ during the most recent occurrence of a warming hiatus, new research has shown."

The hiatus lives.

Professor Friedlingstein, Chair of the Mathematical Modelling of Climate Systems research group at the University of Exeter said: “ Disentangling the feedback between global warming and the carbon cycle is critical for us to anticipate future climate change. In this study, we analysed what happened during the recent period of reduced warming,

the so-called hiatus

, highlighting the importance of ecosystem respiration as a key control of land carbon sinks.”

Yes. It has been called an "hiatus" or "pause" or even a "slowdown". It is a so-called "hiatus".

"The international study examined the full extent to which these vital ecosystems performed as a carbon sink from 1998-2012 – the most recent recorded period of global warming slowdown."

" so-called adjective [ before noun ] uk /ˌsəʊˈkɔːld/ us /ˌsoʊˈkɑːld/

used to show that you think a word that is used to describe someone or something is not suitable or not correct:

It was one of his so-called friends who supplied him with the drugs that killed him."

http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/so-called

So he doesn't think that "hiatus" is the right word; but that is how it has been described.

Not that he doesn't think the "hiatus" doesn't or didn't exist. Capiche?

Edit: He prefers "slowdown"

With the huge genetic diversity that exists in all life forms on Earth there will be some plants that are going to thrive on higher CO2 levels.
With a bit of luck they will get an advantage and outgrow their competitors, with a bit more luck they will tie up more CO2

It will take time tho.
