A Nobel pursuit

Real Climate

Manabe’s early focus was on radiative-convective equilibrium, and his seminal 1967 paper (with his longtime collaborator Richard Wetherald, who passed in 2011 ). The basic issue stems from the different timescales of the ocean and atmosphere. But let’s go back to the beginning. 1975) , and Bryan et al.

Guest Essay: PA Conventional Oil/Gas Operators Blog: More Carbon Dioxide Is Good, Less Is Bad

PA Environment Daily

People should be celebrating, not demonizing, modern increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2). In other words, the Earth came within 30 ppm in CO2’s atmospheric concentration of witnessing the extinction of most land-based plants and all higher terrestrial life-forms – nearly a true climate apocalypse.

A CERES of fortunate events…

Real Climate

The CERES estimates of the top-of-atmosphere radiative fluxes are available from 2001 to the present. 2021) also reported on a two decade estimate of Earthshine measurements which appear to confirm a small decrease in albedo (and decrease in reflected short wave (SW) radiation). The simplest model for the greenhouse effect.

Getting physical with the climate crisis

Physics World

As air sunk through the atmosphere, it got squeezed and heated. This figure will increase to nearly half of the world’s population by the end of the century, the authors say, even with drastic reductions in greenhouse-gas emissions. Taken together, however, clouds in today’s atmosphere have an overall net cooling effect.

Bad science and bad ethics in Peter Gleick’s Review of “Apocalypse Never” at Yale Climate Connections

Environmental Progress

We know we must now work to both cut greenhouse gas emissions to reduce the severity of climate change and at the same time work to adapt to the impacts we can no longer avoid. That talk helped the [National Center for Atmospheric Research] scientists to see the big picture clearly and early on.”
