New Research Provides Clear Evidence of a Human “Fingerprint” on Climate Change

Claims that climate change occurs naturally conflict with recent trends in ocean temperatures, which are indicative of human influence.
New oceanic research provides clear evidence of a human “fingerprint” on climate change and shows that specific signals from human activities have altered the seasonal cycle amplitude of sea surface temperatures (SST).

“This is breakthrough evidence that there is a human-caused climate change signal in ocean temperatures associated with CO2 increases,” according to co-author Benjamin Santer, an adjunct scientist and distinguished scholar in the Physical Oceanography Department at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute (WHOI).
