Here's my e-mail conversation with Wei and Monson, followed by a few additional thoughts on putting a price on gases linked to global warming:

It is also inferred that the planet is now out of radiation balance by 0.5 to 1 W / m2 and that additional global warming of about 0.5 °C is already «in the pipeline».

The Nature commentary by Penner et al. on which this argument is based actually says that on top of the global warming caused by carbon dioxide, other short - lived pollutants (such as methane and black carbon) cause an additional warming approximately 65 % as much as CO2, and other short - lived pollutants (such as aerosols) also cause some cooling.

Four degrees of warming could raise global sea levels by 1 or possibly even 2 meters by 2100 (and would lock in at least a few additional meters over future centuries).

New research has found evidence of a positive feedback mechanism brought on by climate change in which global warming itself may intensify a rise in greenhouse gases, resulting in additional warming.

Dr Dieter Gerten, research expert on water scarcity, and lead author of one of the three studies contained in the PIK paper, said mean global warming of 2ºC − the target set by the international community − is projected to expose an additional 8 % of humankind to new or increased water scarcity.

Option C won't make it go away either because simulations are so massaged by confirmation bias that many reasonable people, understanding this, may tentitively choose option A. On the other hand, the problem of catastrophic global warming may well go away with additional data.

The study, conducted by climate change experts from the universities of Leeds and Exeter and the Met Office, all in the UK, and the universities of Stockholm and Oslo, suggests that nearly four million square kilometres of frozen soil — an area larger than India — could be lost for every additional degree of global warming the planet experiences.

As I have also noted in recent public comments, additional mechanisms have been identified by which changes in atmospheric circulation patterns that may be a result of global warming could be affecting droughts in the American West.

Methane hydrates that are on the edge of stabilization can be disturbed by global warming in two additional ways, temperature and pressure: Warming of the Earth's crust as heat penetrates sediments on the sewarming in two additional ways, temperature and pressure: Warming of the Earth's crust as heat penetrates sediments on the seWarming of the Earth's crust as heat penetrates sediments on the seafloor.

For example, with each degree of warming, renewable water resources are projected to decline by at least 20 percent for an additional 7 percent of the global population.

This study finds that global warming of 0.6 ºC in the past 30 years has been driven mainly by increasing greenhouse gases and only moderate additional climate forcing is likely to set in motion disintegration of the West Antarctic ice sheet and Arctic sea ice.

This study finds that global warming of 0.6 °C in the past 30 years has been driven mainly by increasing greenhouse gases, and only moderate additional climate forcing is likely to set in motion disintegration of the West Antarctic ice sheet and Arctic sea ice.

In our on - going effort to keep up with the science, today we update our previous summary with two additional recently published lower - than - IPCC climate sensitivity estimates — one made by Troy Masters and another by Alexander Otto and colleagues (including several co-authors not typically associated with global warming in moderation, or «lukewarming»).

Current proposals by global warming advocates will likely cost billions of dollars and require a wholesale transformation of the nation's economy and society. Americans could be paying 30 percent more for natural gas in their homes and even more for electricity.  The cost of coal could quadruple and crude oil prices could rise by an additional -LSB-...]

If multisecular natural cycles (which according to some authors have significantly contributed to the observed 1700 — 2010 warming and may contribute to an additional natural cooling by 2100) are ignored, the same IPCC projected anthropogenic emissions would imply a global warming by about 0.3 — 1.2 °C by 2100, contrary to the IPCC 1.0 — 3.6 °C projected warming.

The shift provides additional evidence that changes in the Arctic are not only directly because of global warming, as shown by warmer air and sea temperatures, but are also part of an «Arctic amplification» through which multiple Arctic - specific physical processes interact to accelerate temperature change, ice variability, and ecological impacts.

This does not violate the second law of thermodynamics because the Hadley cells were in equilibrium before global warming, so what matters is not whether the temperate zones are colder than the tropics but whether the pre-existing equilibrium is shifted by additional warming of the temperate zones.
