Trillions of Tons of Carbon Are Missing from Climate Models
Trillions of Tons of Carbon Are Missing from Climate Models Draft script: From Popular Mechanics comes this headline on 22 April 2024: Trillions of Tons of Carbon Are Missing from Climate Models. The story begins with three bullet points: (1) While the world’s soils are home to lots of organic carbon—such as leaf litter and animal […]
Climate models can’t explain 2023’s huge heat anomaly — we could be in uncharted territory
Climate models can’t explain 2023’s huge heat anomaly — we could be in uncharted territory Taking into account all known factors, the planet warmed 0.2 °C more last year than climate scientists expected. More and better data are urgently needed. When I took over as the director of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies, I […]
Cancellations Start for John Clauser After Nobel Physics Laureate Speaks Out About “Corruption” of Climate Science
Cancellations Start for John Clauser After Nobel Physics Laureate Speaks Out About “Corruption” of Climate Science Earlier this month, the 2022 Nobel Physics Laureate Dr. John Clauser slammed the ‘climate emergency’ narrative as a “dangerous corruption of science that threatens the world’s economy and the well-being of billions of people”. Inevitably, the punishments have begun. A […]
Cooling effect of clouds ‘underestimated’ by climate models, says new study
Cooling effect of clouds ‘underestimated’ by climate models, says new study Cooling effect of clouds ‘underestimated’ by climate models, says new study * * * Clouds could have a greater cooling effect on the planet than climate models currently suggest, according to new research. The paper, published in Nature Climate Change, aims to […]
New research on forests and oceans suggest projections of future warming may be too conservative, with serious consequences
New research on forests and oceans suggest projections of future warming may be too conservative, with serious consequences How much will the world warm with ongoing fossil-fuel carbon emissions? It’s a big question that preoccupies policymakers and activists, with important discussions about when the world will hit two degrees, are we really on a path […]
Analysis: How ‘carbon-cycle feedbacks’ could make global warming worse
Analysis: How ‘carbon-cycle feedbacks’ could make global warming worse Scientists making climate-change projections have to deal with a number of uncertainties. The amount of global warming will depend on the magnitude of future emissions, which, in turn, depends on how society grows and develops. The rate of warming will also depend on how sensitive the climate is to […]
Factcheck: Climate models have not ‘exaggerated’ global warming
Factcheck: Climate models have not ‘exaggerated’ global warming A new study published in the Nature Geosciences journal this week by largely UK-based climate scientists has led to claims in the media that climate models are “wrong” and have significantly overestimated the observed warming of the planet. Here Carbon Brief shows why such claims are a […]
Anthropocene climate, part two: Four degrees of devastation
Anthropocene climate, part two: Four degrees of devastation If greenhouse gas emissions aren’t stopped soon, unprecedented and deadly heat waves will become the new normal in most of the world Part one of this article discussed James Hansen’s demonstration that a relatively small increase in global average temperature – under 1°C – has already produced a significant […]
