With the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) coming up next month, it is strange to think that less than 100 years ago global warming was not widely accepted, even among experts. Callendar’s 1938 paper “The artificial production of carbon dioxide and its influence on temperature” ( Q. 139 1961 ).

The only region of cooling is the northern Atlantic, where climate models have long predicted just that due to a slowing of the Atlantic Ocean overturning circulation. The heating of the global ocean has been going on at a steady rate of nine zeta Joules per year for decades , which is 15 times the worldwide primary energy consumption.

In this, he is in violent agreement with Isaac Held, his colleague at GFDL, and indeed most climate scientists. Manabe’s subsequent work led to the development of the GFDL GCM, initially just including the atmosphere, but eventually with an ocean, and then the transient results shown in Manabe and Stouffer (1993).

The El Niño–Southern Oscillation ( ENSO ) is one of the most significant, but variable, climate patterns in the world. This tropical Pacific Ocean phenomenon affects weather in South America, Australia, Asia, and beyond. Researchers are also studying how ENSO will be affected by climate change.

There is no doubt that we have changed Earth’s climate through our activities on a broad range of aspects that includes consequences for the atmosphere, the oceans, snow, ice, Earth’s fauna and ecosystems. The cause of our changing climate is the increase in atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations that we have released into the air.

This is the third year in a row that emissions from energy are flat, yet, climate scientists report that our atmosphere is seeing its carbon content grow faster than ever. The biggest drop came from the United States, where carbon dioxide emissions fell 3%, or 160 million tonnes, while the economy grew by 1.6%.

Through greenwashing ads, disinformation campaigns, attacks on scientists, and production of fake scientific evidence, the industry has engaged the playbook of deception to undermine climate action. For the first piece, there needs to be a well-designed, justice-centered plan to reduce heat-trapping emissions.
