Abstract

There is general agreement that the mean land-surface air temperature of the Earth has increased by about 0.6 over the past century (Vinnikov et al., 1990; Jones, 1994). However, IPCC concluded in 1996 that the observed warming was "broadly consistent with predictions of climate models, but it was also the same magnitude as natural climate variability".(omitted).(omitted)
