Chip, while average temperatures have not been rising as quickly as projected, it’s rather clear that the poorly understood ENSO cycle has something to do with it. Isn’t the next el Nino likely to break records?

In any case, we still have consistently higher temp up north – even if they haven’t been climbing further, and it’s perfectly appropriate to note that the resulting changes on the ground are occuring faster than expected. It’s useful also to note revised sea rise estimates, as AR4 did not take into consideration any sheet dynamics.

Do you disagree?

It might be wise to include NCDC to, for completeness.

The Times is not alone in their assertion. Susan Solomon’s “1000 year irreversibility” and AAAS’s Chris Fields “IPCC Sensitivity Too Low” seem to reflect a recent consensus: namely that AR4 failed to stir up enough alarm and now requires embellishment, in order to get more juice.
