摘要
Issues related to the pause of global warming in the last decade are reviewed.It is indicated that:(1) The decade of 1999-2008 is still the warmest of the last 30 years,though the global temperature increment is near zero;(2) Natural factors such as volcanism,solar radiation,ENSO,and thermohaline circulation can have impact on the inter-annual and inter-decadal variability of global mean temperatures.However,it will not mask the global warming trend for a long time;(3) Temperatures of China continue to increase in 1999-2008 with an increment of 0.4-0.5℃per 10 years.
Issues related to the pause of global warming in the last decade are reviewed. It is indicated that： （1） The decade of 1999-2008 is still the warmest of the last 30 years, though the global temperature increment is near zero; （2） Natural fac- tors such as volcanism, solar radiation, ENSO, and thermohaline circulation can have impact on the inter-annual and inter-decadal variability of global mean temperatures. However, it will not mask the global warming trend for a long time; （3） Temperatures of China continue to increase in 1999-2008 with an increment of 0.4-0.5℃ per 10 years.
