A Radical Approach to Kyoto

Written by

How can we reduce anthropogenic CO2 emissions quickly without destabilising the world economy or sacrificing Western society? Is carbon dioxide really a significant greenhouse gas? Here is a simple calculation and a proposed experiment to answer both questions.

Changes in Pacific Ocean sea surface temperature lead the trajectory of global surface temperatures in the last century - rising to the mid 1940's, falling to the late 1970's and increasing thereafter to the late 1990's.  Physical mechanisms involving a transfer of energy and moisture between the atmosphere and oceans are identified to explain the influence of sea surface temperature on surface temperature at decadal timescales.  The sea surface temperature state changes are abrupt as the system behaves like a complex and dynamic system in the terms of chaos theory

I have only relatively recently got some inkling of the dynamical complexity of climate - but reading Judith Lean and colleagues’ 2008 and 2010 papers got me wondering if there weren’t an even more direct and simple, in the best sense, model of natural and anthropogenic climate factors.
