And he also agreed with Lovelock that the rate of warming in recent years had been less than expected by the climate models. However, Stott said this was a short-term trend that could ...

The new study published in the peer-reviewed journal PLoS Biology shows that ongoing climate change will lead to overall declines in plant growing days by 2100 due to a mixture of warming, drought, and limited solar radiation. Using satellite-derived data, the study identified the ranges of temperat ...

Instrumental temperature record
The instrumental temperature record shows fluctuations of the temperature of earth's climate system. Initially the instrumental temperature record only documented land and sea surface temperature, but in recent decades instruments have also begun recording ocean temperature. Data is collected from thousands of meteorological stations around the globe and through satellite observations. The longest-running temperature record is the Central England temperature data series, that starts in 1659. The longest-running quasi-global record starts in 1850.
