A distraction due to errors, misunderstanding and misguided Norwegian statistics

Real Climate

Presumably Dagsvik and Moen are used to this kind of model, but they seem to be inexperienced with the models used for weather and climate, which on the other hand are based on the laws of physics. See for instance Benestad (2016). Furthermore, the volume of the oceans increases from the melting of land ice.

Deciphering the ‘SPM AR6 WG1’ code

Real Climate

I think in hindsight that my concerns from 2013 to some extent were supported by the fact that the IPCC organised an Expert Meeting on Communication, Oslo, Norway, 9–10 February 2016. The cause of our changing climate is the increase in atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations that we have released into the air.

More frequent El Niño events predicted by 2040

A Greener Life

Lance/2016/Flickr , CC BY-NC-ND 2.0. Cutting-edge models predict that El Niño frequency will increase within 2 decades because of climate change, regardless of emissions mitigation efforts. The El Niño–Southern Oscillation ( ENSO ) is one of the most significant, but variable, climate patterns in the world. By Rachel Fritts.

The unconventional scientist who predicted that rising carbon dioxide levels would change the climate

Physics World

Only a quarter of this was absorbed in the natural carbon cycle, mostly by diffusion into the oceans. Other researchers further explored climate change with new measurements of temperature, infrared absorption by CO 2 (where Callendar’s own work contributed), and the carbon cycle. 139 1961 ).

Global emissions from energy are flat. Now what ?

Edouard Stenger

According to the respected International Energy Agency’s new report, global greenhouse gases emissions from energy remained flat in 2016 while the global economy grew by 3.1 Coal demand fell worldwide but the drop was particularly sharp in the United States, where demand was down 11% in 2016. Deforestation is one.

Colorado River Forecasts Not a ‘Crystal Ball’

Circle of Blue

The 24-month study process begins with the Colorado Basin River Forecast Center, a team of scientists operating within the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Cody Moser, a senior hydrologist at the Center, told Circle of Blue that data from the years 2016 through 2020 will be added this fall. Click To Tweet.

AR6 of the best

Real Climate

As climate scientists we tend to look at the IPCC reports a little differently than the general public might. Here are a few things that mark this report out from previous versions that relate to issues we’ve discussed here before: Extreme events are increasingly connected to climate (duh!) Figure SPM 8. 1, SPM, AR5.
