Terracing not only increased average yields, but also significantly lowered their variability.

"When we average temperature over five or ten years to minimise that variability, we find global warming is continuing unabated," Hansen concluded.

“人们通常关注年平均温度，这个数值可以给年份排序，但是这种排序经常没有意义”，GISS所长 Jams Hansen说道 "热带厄尔尼诺--拉尼娜现象的循环造成了全球气温的巨大年际变化， 当把5年或十年的气温平均看，我们就会发现全球变暖的趋势有增无减。"
