Abstract
Historical analysis showed temperature declined after A.D. 1000 until the late nineteenth century, followed by warming at a rate, unprecedented in the record. The change in temperature over the last 1000 years has been very small. Variability of temperature until the late nineteenth century can be accounted for by variation in the output of energy from the sun, explosive volcanic eruptions, and internal variability of the ocean-atmosphere system. The model estimate suggests additional temperature increases on the order of 1–2 °C by the end of the twenty-first century (IPCC 2001).
