Nov 8, 2013 ... Starting in the mid-1970s, global temperatures rose 0.5 °C over a period of 25  years. Since the turn of the century, however, the change in Earth's global mean  surface temperature has been close to zero. Yet despite the halt in acceleration,  each of the last three decades has been successively warmer at ...

Although the quantitative details of this  mechanism are speculative, it appears able partially to stabi- lize earth's surface  temperature against the steady increase of solar luminosity believed to have ...
Based on a range of plausible emission scenarios, average surface temperatures  could rise between 2°C and 6°C by the end of the 21st century. ... So far, most of  the atmosphere has maintained a near constant balance between temperature  and water vapor concentration as temperatures have gone up in recent decades.

“Temperatures have been flat for 15 years—nobody can properly explain it,” the  Wall Street Journal says. “Global warming ... The misunderstanding stems from  data showing that during the past decade there was a slowing in the rate at which  the earth's average surface temperature had been increasing. The event is ...
Surface temperatures on Earth "have stabilized."
