Which climate changes can be blamed on humans? - Short Sharp Science - New Scientist: "The latest example of such a paper, in press in WIREs Climate Change, reviews a number of studies that have been done since 2007. It finds that there are definite human influences on a host of aspects of the climate, all of them driven by the rising temperatures." According to Stott's overview of published research papers, there is now a confirmed human fingerprint (links go to the original papers) on: * The rise in global surface air temperature; * The rise in surface air temperature over every continent, including Antarctica; * The rise in atmospheric humidity (caused by the higher air temperatures); * The rise in precipitation (rain, snow, etc) around the world, as a result of the higher humidities; * Shifts in precipitation: dry tropical regions are getting drier while wet regions closer to the poles are getting wetter; * The huge losses of Arctic summer sea ice; * The rise in surface ocean temperature; * Increasing salinity in the Atlantic Ocean.
