| Subject: 'False sense of security': Global warming looks set to accelerate, 'Nostradamus'' study finds Wed May 10, 2017 11:48 pm | |
| The pace of global warming is likely to quicken in coming years as natural processes in the Pacific switch from serving as a brake to an accelerator, placing the planet on course to exceed a landmark level within a decade, according to a new paper.
The Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation (IPO), a cycle that lasts 10-30 years and affects how much heat is absorbed in the Pacific, started to switch to its positive or "warm" phase since 2014. During positive periods, the central ocean is relatively warm compared with surface waters at higher latitudes.
