Sea level rise is a big deal Use, abuse and misuse of the CMIP6 ensemble The radiative forcing bar chart has gone full circle Droughts and floods are complicated Don’t mention the hiatus. Sea Level Rise: The previous IPCC reports, notably AR4 and AR5 (to a lesser extent) , have had a hard time dealing with SLR.

Picture how a radiator heats a home. Water is heated by a boiler, and the hot water circulates through pipes and radiators in the house. The radiators warm up and heat the air in the room. The radiators are, in fact, cooling down, but their stored heat is still warming the air in the room.

For example, Antarctica acts to cool our planet by reflecting solar radiation back to space by virtue of the brightness of its snow surface. The danger is that the Antarctic sea ice is starting to behave like the Arctic, with sustained loss of ocean cover and consequent absorption of solar radiation.

JDB: Cities have dense concentrations of asphalt, cement and other surfaces that absorb solar heat during the day and radiate it back into the environment. For example, Phoenix is taking heat mitigation seriously by establishing one of the first heat mitigation and response offices at the municipal level. degrees F to as much as 12.6

It describes fluctuations between the sea level atmospheric pressure from the areas known as the Azores High and the Icelandic Low although these are not set in stone (8). It also incorporates both a warm and a cool period during the oscillation - both of which impact upper atmospheric winds (10). The Human Impacts on Climate.
