What the hell does this really say?<BR/><BR/>Limitations and gaps prevent more complete attribution of the causes of observed system responses to<BR/>anthropogenic warming. First, the available analyses are limited in the number of systems and locations<BR/>considered. Second, natural temperature variability is larger at the regional than the global scale, thus<BR/>affecting identification of changes due to external forcing. Finally, at the regional scale other factors (such<BR/>as land-use change, pollution, and invasive species) are influential. [1.4]<BR/>Nevertheless, the consistency between observed and modelled changes in several studies and the spatial<BR/>agreement between significant regional warming and consistent impacts at the global scale is sufficient to<BR/>conclude with high confidence that anthropogenic warming over the last three decades has had a discernible<BR/>influence on many physical and biological systems.
