In a new paper, Hansen and colleagues warn that the current international plan to limit global warming isn't going to be nearly enough to avert disasters like runaway ice - sheet melting and consequent sea - level rise.
It may seem surprising to people, but you can look at something like Mars, which has a very thin atmosphere, and you can look at something like Venus which we tend to think of as sort of having this rather heavy, clouded atmosphere, which [is] hellishly warm because of runaway greenhouse effect, and on both of those planets you are seeing this phenomenon of the atmosphere leaking away, is actually what directly has led to those very different outcomes for those planets; the specifics of what happened as the atmosphere started to go in each case [made] all the difference.

About 1980ish, some old ideas like the greenhouse effect were brought out of mothballs and re-examined with new tools and techniques; simultaneously several researchers and theoreticians released their notes, published, or otherwise got together and there was a surprising consilience and not a small amount of mixing with old school hippy ecologism on some of the topics that became the roots of Climate Change science (before it was called Global Warming); innovations in mathematics were also applied to climate thought; supercomputers (though «disappointing» on weather forecasting) allowed demonstration of plausibility of runaway climate effects, comparison of scales of effects, and the possibility of climate models combined with a good understanding of the limits of predictive power of weather models.
This will, in turn, trigger runaway warming of the planet and fractured weather patterns like extra-prolonged droughts or sudden, torrential rains as the entire world begins to sizzle!
These satellite measurements of atmosphere temperatures not only confirm that «runaway» and / or «tipping point» global warming is not happening, they also confirm that the NASA «expert» predictions of Venus - like warming that causes «boiling» oceans was, at best, a wild, lunatic, fringe prediction.
This explains why the very high carbon dioxide levels in geologic history never caused any runaway warming It also tells us that burning fossil fuels can not lead to runaway warming like happened on Venus according to Hansen.

The runaway greenhouse effect has several meanings ranging from, at the low end, global warming sufficient to induce out - of - control amplifying feedbacks, such as ice sheet disintegration and melting of methane hydrates, to, at the high end, a Venus - like hothouse with crustal carbon baked into the atmosphere and a surface temperature of several hundred degrees, a climate state from which there is no escape.
Climate scientists like James E. Hansen predict that methane clathrates in the permafrost regions will be released because of global warming, unleashing powerful feedback forces which may cause runaway climate change that can not be halted.
(1) Alarmists: Like «Chicken Little» who cried «the sky is falling» when he was hit by an acorn falling off a tree, the Alarmists think they are warning and saving the world from a «tipping point» that will cause «runaway warming» within a decade or so because of the coincidence of a warming trend and CO2 rise over the past century.
