This group is especially fond of the lack of statistically significant surface warming since 1995.
FORBES: Global Warming: Hotheads, Flatliners and Lukewarmers, Part One
The 60-year cycle is particularly easy to observe in significant surface temperature maxima that occurred in 1880-1881, 1940-1941, and 2000-2001.
FORBES: Global Warming? No, Natural, Predictable Climate Change
But there were nevertheless some significant trends beneath the surface of these predictable figures.
Astrobiological researchers have discovered significant regions below the surface of Mars that could be habitable for Earth-based life.
Rather, as a consequence of injecting water and sand into the shale formation to crack the rocks so gas and oil will flow, massive amounts of waste water comes back to the surface with significant amounts of contaminants as a result of leaching out salt, heavy metals and trace amounts of radioactive materials from the rock formation itself.
Scientists recently discovered that once the snow melts in the Earth's northern forests, the surface releases a significant amount of heat into the overlying atmosphere that influences global weather systems.
Some recent studies have revealed a significant concentration of particles in near-surface waters in areas of mid-ocean accumulation (N Pacific and NW Atlantic gyres).

Data from the Sharad (SHAllow RADar) instrument (on Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter), document that some of these glacial-like features, which you find at Mars' mid-latitudes, have a significant volume of ice left below a surface of rock debris.
"There are ample supplies beneath the surface of the planet to have significant growth in oil supply for quite a number of years, " Yergin says.
However, earlier this month, researchers from Durham University's Energy Institute reported that fracking was not a significant source of tremors that can be felt on the surface, compared to many other human activities such as mining or filling reservoirs with water.
BBC: Lancashire election candidates asked to oppose fracking
While on the surface a CEO may seem omnipotent, a successful initiative involves listening, significant give-and-take, some disagreement, cajoling, collaboration, and ultimately buy-in from senior managers and the employees.
FORBES: Flourish As An Influential Leader - Think Like A Negotiator
Whether the presence of acid conditions or surface active digestive substances in the guts of such marine organisms can desorb and release contaminants in significant quantities to cause such effects, or whether such a response is to their physical presence, remains to be answered.
