Shiv Priyam Raghuraman, a graduate student in atmospheric and oceanic sciences at Princeton, reports in today’s issue of Nature Communications that Earth’s 'energy imbalance' is growing, and there is less than 1% probability that this trend can be explained by natural variations in the climate system.
