Deciphering the ‘SPM AR6 WG1’ code

Real Climate

I followed with great interest the launch of the sixth assessment report Working Group 1 (The Physical Science Basis) from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) on August 9th. The problems with the SPM are similar those from the previous fifth assessment report which prompted me to write a post in 2013.

A distraction due to errors, misunderstanding and misguided Norwegian statistics

Real Climate

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.

Getting physical with the climate crisis

Physics World

Long term, climate change is a greater threat than the COVID-19 pandemic. As air sunk through the atmosphere, it got squeezed and heated. Without human-induced climate change, that heat would be at least 150 times rarer. Politicians floundered despite half a million protestors marching through the Spanish capital.
