James Hansen Wishes he Wasn’t So Right about Global Warming

New study warns climate is warming even faster than some think​

Global ocean heat content anomaly​

Relative to 1981-2010 mean; Annually, 1940-2022
A purple and orange bar chart showing the global ocean heat content anomaly, relative to the 1981-2010 mean. Global ocean heat content is rapidly growing, reaching almost 250 zettajoules above the 1981-2010 mean in 2022.


Data: Cheng, et al., 2023, "Another year of record heat for the oceans"; Note: For the upper 2,000 meters of ocean; Chart: Axios Visuals
A new study warns the Earth's climate is on track to warm significantly more than shown by the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC) projections.
Driving the news: The paper, published Thursday in the peer-reviewed journal Oxford Open Climate Change, is a synthesis of new and previous discoveries across multiple fields. It is peppered with policy prescriptions, unusual for a scientific paper.

• The stark warning comes from ex-NASA scientist James Hansen, who is the lead author of the report. In 1988, he famously and accurately warned that human-caused warming would soon emerge from the background noise of natural variability.

Why it matters: Should the paper's authors be proven correct this time, the globe can expect more severe extreme weather events, species losses and sea level rise than currently projected.

• The paper lands as the planet endures its warmest year on record, with sizzling new benchmarks set on land and sea. Each month since May has set consecutive new milestones.

Yes, but: Hansen has long straddled the line between scientist and activist. In the new paper, he recommends pursuing a range of policy options, from putting a price on carbon to geoengineering.

• In this study, he calls on climate scientists to embrace the responsibilities medical professionals have to their patients. He argues they have been too reticent and conservative to lay out the full ramifications of warming.
• "We are in the early phase of a climate emergency," Hansen writes.

That's a lot of warming!!!!

How many new nuclear reactors should we build?

That's a lot of warming!!!!

How many new nuclear reactors should we build?

How many times have they made that claim now?

 

[Toddsterpatriot]

How many times have they made that claim now?

Too many.
I don't even care about their stupid claims, I'm much more concerned about their stupid fixes.

Did they explain how the atmosphere which is 1/300th the mass of the ocean, contains 1/1000th the heat of the ocean and has only increased by 1.5C over 100 years caused this?

Cause someone needs to tell them that's the sun, dummies.
