虽然气候变化和变率涉及气候系统的所有方面[Pielke， 1998]，但对人为强迫气候变化的评估主要集中在地表温度作为主要度量[Mann and Jones, 2003；Soon et al., 2004]。我们的贡献只涉及气候系统的这个非常具体（和有限）的度量。“全球变暖”一词已被用来描述20世纪观测到的地表气温上升。然而，“全球变暖”的概念需要评估热量单位（即焦耳）。温度本身是地表空气热含量的不完全表征。
Although climate change and variability involves all aspects of the climate system [Pielke, 1998],the assessment of anthropogenically-forced climate change has focused on surface temperature as the primary metric [Mann and Jones, 2003; Soon et al., 2004]. Our contribution only addresses this very specific (and limited) metric of the climate system. The term “global warming” has been used to describe the observed surface air temperature increase in the 20th century. However, this concept of “global warming” requires assessments of units of heat (that is, Joules). Temperature, by itself, is an incomplete characterization of surface air heat content.
