In an unchanging climate, the random fluctuations would lead to warming in some parts of the world and cooling in others. In a world with just random local fluctuations but no climate change, about half the weather stations would show a (more or less significant) warming, the other half a cooling. It’s not hard to understand.

OK, on to methane in the environment: The headline here – whether you’re talking about atmospheric concentrations, climate impacts, or emissions – is that there is a lot less methane than CO 2 , but it’s a more potent climate heater and it’s increasing faster. Atmospheric concentrations. Climate impact. W/m 2 from elevated CO 2.

It was a bold claim and some researchers initially struggled to accept the implications because it meant that energy must be flowing from the “cool” 6000 K surface of the Sun into the hotter corona – seemingly in violation of thermodynamics. This estimate was later revised upwards to 10 6 K and above. million kelvin (green).

This is the age of Copernicus who defined the heliocentric model of the Solar System, Johannes Kepler who set down laws determining how planetary bodies moved, Galileo whose astounding work in developing telescopes reinforced the Copernican view of the solar system, Isaac Newton who set down universal laws on motion and gravity.
