Working from physical evidence, without prior assumptions, to identify the cause of climate change. Who (what) really dunnit?
A global climate change equation that provides a simpler way of understanding the energy dynamics of global warming or cooling.
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
