Why Hasn’t Earth Warmed as Much as Expected?
The observed increase in global mean surface temperature (GMST) over the industrial era is less than 40% of that expected from observed increases in long-lived greenhouse gases together with the best-estimate equilibrium climate sensitivity given by the 2007 Assessment Report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Possible reasons for this warming discrepancy are systematically exami...
متن کاملReply to ‘‘Comments on ‘Why Hasn’t Earth Warmed as Much as Expected?’’’
Knutti and Plattner (2012, hereinafter KP) wholly mischaracterize the ‘‘warming discrepancy’’ that we presented in our paper (Schwartz et al. 2010, hereinafter S10). Briefly, we noted that the calculated increase in global temperature due to long-lived greenhouse gases (LLGHGs) alone greatly exceeds the observed warming. We then examined possible causes of this discrepancy, importantly, thermal...

متن کاملWhy the WTO Does Not Benefit Developing Countries as Much as it Could
Participation in international trade potentially brings huge benefits to developing countries. However, the design and setup of the international trade regime, most importantly the rules and regulations stipulated in the agreements of the World Trade Organization (WTO), often make it difficult for developing countries to fully tap this potential. As will be argued in this paper using descriptiv...
متن کاملMapping and Inference in Analogical Problem Solving – As Much as Needed or as Much as Possible?
There exist many computational models of analogy making, which are based on different assumptions about the cognitive processes which are responsible for successful transfer from a base to a target domain. In most models, mapping of the base structure to the target is seen as the core of analogy making. We believe that the way in which this mapping is realized is a crucial aspect by which the d...
