A warming event that spans only one year, with decades of stable temperatures before and after, would not appear to align with rapidly rising human CO2 emissions or a gradually rising atmospheric CO2 concentration.<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

From 1958 to 2020, as CO2 rose from 320 ppm to 410 ppm, Greenland had a warming period of 1\u00b0C that lasted one year \u2013 1994. Over the next 26 years (1994-2020) and spanning the years 1958 to 1993, there have been \u201crelatively constant\u201d temperatures across Greenland (Zhang et al., 2022<\/a><\/strong>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These temperature trends appear to align much better with phases of the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), Greenland blocking indexes (GBI), and volcanism better than they do with any anthropogenic causal agents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other scientists have also reported Greenland warming \u201cis not evident\u201d (Hanna et al., 2021<\/a><\/strong>, Matsumura et al., 2022<\/a><\/strong>) in recent decades. Instead, temperature stations document slight cooling trends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
