New misguided interpretations of the greenhouse effect from William Kininmonth

Real Climate

When looking at the effect of changes in greenhouse gases, one must look at how their forcing corresponds to the energy balance at the top of the atmosphere. 2015) , and this is also applies to Kininmonth’s calculations. 699-703, 2015.

The water south of Greenland has been cooling, so what causes that?

Real Climate

Here we start by taking the Greenland mass loss rate into the ocean, times the temperature difference between the meltwater and the water it replaces. For the part entering the ocean as ice, we must also consider that to melt ice requires energy. Greenland ice melt. or other estimates). Rahmstorf, S., Robinson, A., Feulner, M.E.

New Reports Ahead of COP29 Show The World Is Spinning Its Wheels on Climate Action

Inside Climate News

By Bob Berwyn A trio of reports released ahead of next month’s COP29 climate conference in Azerbaijan all show that the existing national policies to cut greenhouse gas emissions under the landmark 2015 Paris Agreement will heat the planet by close to 3 degrees Celsius by 2100, as warming has accelerated in the past few years.

Unlike in years past, there is no longer any serious discrepancy between the records – which use multiple approaches for the ocean temperatures, the homogenization of the weather stations records, and interpolation.

Why is future sea level rise still so uncertain?

Real Climate

Meanwhile, note that the factors listed above involve the whole Earth system: the oceans, the cryosphere, the atmosphere, the solid earth and lithosphere, and a full range of scales, from the city block and shoreline, to ice dynamics that change over kilometers, to GRD footprints, to the whole global ocean. 2020) or Sadai et al.

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.
