My research indicates that the Siberian peat moss, Arctic tundra, and methal hydrates (frozen methane at the bottom of the ocean) all have an excellent chance of melting and releasing their stored co2.Recent methane concentration figures also hit the news last week, and methane has increased after a long time being steady.The forests of north america are drying out and are very susceptible to massive insect infestations and wildfires, and the massive die offs - 25 % of total forests, have begun.And, the most recent stories on the Amazon forecast that with the change in rainfall patterns one third of the Amazon will dry and turn to grassland, thereby creating a domino cascade effect for the rest of the Amazon.With co2 levels risng faster now that the oceans have reached carrying capacity, the oceans having become also more acidic, and the looming threat of a North Atlanic current shutdown (note the recent terrible news on salinity upwelling levels off Greenland,) and the change in cold water upwellings, leading to far less biomass for the fish to feed upon, all lead to the conclusion we may not have to worry about NASA completing its inventory of near earth objects greater than 140 meters across by 2026 (Recent Benjamin Dean astronomy lecture here in San Francisco).

It seems almost silly in some ways, and to some Dot Earth readers borderline irresponsible, to spend time focusing on the day when astronomers spot a rock the size of, say, a hockey rink — or if we're less lucky a city block — slinging around the Sun in an orbit and on a timetable that could cause it to smash into Earth.

He does not, however, address the size and bias of the approximation errors with respect to a small change (1 % or less of mean temp in Kelvin) resulting on Earth from a small change in forcing (doubling of CO2 concentration), over a long but finite time (140 years or so for the concentration of CO2 to double from what it is now.)

It turned out things were far more nuanced (as he later said, «The Earth system may be less responsive in the warm times than it was in the cold times»), but in a field that had long mainly foreseen smooth curves for planetary change with rising greenhouse gas levels, the result was a vital focus on the risks of abrupt climate change.

There is a limit on the earth's capacity to take up CO2 on time scales less than millennia, but there are other actions that we can take in addition to the two major ones described above.

Even if it was hotter then, which itself is still hotly argued today, it's irrelevant to the current situation because not just humankind but all life on Earth is being given considerably less time to adapt to the modern rate of change.

Temperature on earth is bounded because it snows more in warm times and it snows less in cold times.

Whether the the changes in Earth rotation have any significant influence in the opposite direction on any time scale shorter than thousands of years is less obvious.

Because of the way opportunity costs compound over time the world at the turn of the next century will be poorer by the equivalent of $ Quadrillions and I suspect, if we could send a probe to our future descendants to ask if they would prefer a little less CO2 or an extra $ 500,000 each for everyone on Earth, the answer we get back would not be congratulatory for surrendering to these brain dead mooks.

4) If WV stayed the same on a planet entirely covered by land and all else being equal the equilibrium temperature of that planet would be much less than that of Earth because the faster response time in warming up from solar energy would be matched by an equally fast loss of energy at night and in winter.

There was some very effective stratospheric warming just after each time the coronal hole came around (the particles take longer to reach Earth than EM radiations, as they are travelling at less than the speed of light on a curved path), and subsequently the polar vortex shifted.

I would rate «Average Earth Land - Sea Surface Temperature» (even on any given day, no less a century long time series) a serious «We don't know to any degree of usable accuracy.»

From AR5: «The resulting equilibrium temperature response to a doubling of CO2 on millennial time scales or Earth system sensitivity is less well constrained but likely to be larger than ECS...» See also ``... medium confidence that Earth - system sensitivity may be up to two times the model equilibrium climate sensitivity (ECS).»
