Study Seeks to Understand Variations in the Rate of Global Warming

“A team of climate scientists, including Professor Mat Collins from the University of Exeter, have investigated the role of internal variability in the Earth’s climate system in these periods of slow warming.

“This study shows that periods of extended global cooling from internal variability alone are associated with more heat being taken up by the sub-surface ocean; when this ends, this heat can be released quite rapidly leading to a period of accelerated global warming.”
