"The rate of temperature change really matters," he said.
Points with a positive (negative) rate of temperature change are shown by a filled (open) symbol.
Strong mitigation reduces both the maximum rate of temperature change and the maximum sea-level rise.
Surface air temperature (a), rate of temperature change (b), and sea-level rise (c), compared against observational data25,26.

We find that SRM strategies introduce a potentially strong tension between the objectives to reduce (1) the rate of temperature change and (2) sea-level rise.
In the attack, Mr. Rose claims that scientists used misleading data in a recent (2015) paper that studied the rate of temperature change across the globe.

As a result, SRM has the potential to result in conflicts between decision-makers primarily concerned about sea-level rise versus the rate of temperature change.
This study essentially provides insight on those short lengths – or the erratic movements of the dog – which most influence the rate of temperature change over short time intervals.
The layer is compressed and heated by the resulting increase in atmospheric pressure, and as a result the lapse rate of temperature is reduced.
