A new paper by Ben Santer and colleagues has appeared in PNAS where they extend their previous work on the detection and attribution of anthropogenic climate change to include the upper stratosphere, using observations from the Stratospheric Sounding Units (SSUs) (and their successors, the AMSU instruments) that have flown since 1979.

are used all over the world, based on calculations that quantify the effects of physical mechanisms and the way different parts of the atmosphere are connected to each other. The physics-based models describe how energy flows through the atmosphere and ocean, as well as how the forces from different air masses push against each other.

For example, Antarctica acts to cool our planet by reflecting solar radiation back to space by virtue of the brightness of its snow surface. In the ocean, 19 marine heatwaves have been recorded between 2002 and 2018. The world’s largest ever heatwave (38.5C

Proponents claim the process will replicate phytoplankton fertilization by iron-rich dust blown into the oceans during ice ages, and that it will help limit climate change through several mechanisms – most prominently by oxidizing atmospheric methane. Is there a way out? Trying to stamp these out is a fool’s errand.
