BH: Some of them are talking about climate sensitivity at 1.2 C, at 1.5 C. I think this is completely implausible because the basic energetics of the climate system responding to the additional greenhouse gas emissions almost
from simple physics, has to be at least 1.2 C and possibly more before you begin to take into account any of the feedbacks in the system from water vapour in clouds and so on.

from oceanic circulation.

Oh yeah, you're bristling right now, indignantly clutching that 6.75 - inch Commander Shepard action figure and preparing to unleash interstellar hell on that comments section, but the

physics of Jack's belt - bra, my memories of immorally wresting Ferelden
from the clutches of the darkspawn are that much fonder.

Ray's answer makes it obvious (for me) that reality is very complex and far
from being explainable by
simple, hand - made arguments for the general audience; that's why I think that trying to explain «simply» the very complex phenomena involved in radiation transfer is just lost time - and in my opinion the REAL issues associated with social impacts of GW are not primarily associated with the detailed
physics of the phenomenon.
The weakening of the Walker circulation arises in these models
from processes that are fundamentally different
from those of El Nià ± o — and is present in both mixed - layer and full - ocean coupled models, so is not dependent on the models» ability to represent Kelvin waves (by the way, most of the IPCC - AR4 models have sufficient oceanic resolution to represent Kelvin waves and the
physics behind them is quite
simple — so of all the model deficiencies to focus on this one seems a little odd).

from simple building blocks — of concepts, methods and rules of interaction.

I think the reason «atmospheric scientists», I'm putting this in quotation marks because I think this refers to «climate scientists» whose basic
physics I dispute, are resisting this is really quite
simple, it includes condensation and as I've gone to some effort to explain, the Water Cycle is missing
from the energy budgets and I give the following as examples of their narrative:
It is not clear whether you are intellectually challenged or are suffering

Perhaps this is the source of Dyson's dreadful misjudgment on the climate question: he sees that the possible errors are large, but does not factor in that they are likely to be large in the wrong direction, and does not credit obvious qualitative arguments
from simple laws of
physics.»
«We've seen,
from the tutorial we've been examining [https://www.aps.org/units/fps/newsletters/200807/hafemeister.cfm], that the
physics of climate change, regardless of how sound each step in the process might seem, is far too complex to satisfy Occam's Razor — we have no way of knowing whether a
simpler explanation might account equally well or better for the known physical interactions.

simple, it doesn't take a PhD in advanced mathematics or
physics to understand it.
