As you can imagine, there have been a number of stories published in the news describing these results.

Global annual average radiative forcing
change from 1750 to 2011 due to human activities, changes in total solar
irradiance, and volcanic emissions. Black bars indicate the uncertainty in each. Radiative forcing is a measure of the influence
a factor (such as greenhouse gas emissions) has in changing the global balance of incoming and outgoing energy. Radiative
forcings greater than zero (positive forcings) produce climate warming; forcings less than zero (negative forcings) produce
climate cooling.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/site.extension.uga.edu\/climate\/files\/2017\/11\/global-temperature-comparison-2017-report-300x181.jpg\")

Surface temperature change (in \u00b0F) for the period 1986\u20132015 relative to 1901\u20131960 from the NOAA
National Centers for Environmental Information\u2019s (NCEI) surface temperature product. For visual clarity, statistical sig

nificance is not depicted on this map.
Changes are generally significant (at the 90% level) over most land and ocean
areas.
Changes are not significant in parts of the North Atlantic Ocean, the South Pacific Ocean, and the southeastern
United States.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
