There are a few publishing scientists that strongly disagree with the established consensus that humans are the primary drivers
of modern climate change and yet they seem to find funding without much difficulty.
Although carbon dioxide increases are the largest
driver of modern climate change, changes in the abundance of many other compounds also play a role.
Would we, within the ethical
standards of modern climate science, be entitled to speculate on the identity of the author of these pearls?
Which is exactly what some of us attempt to do here by pointing out the historic
context of modern climate and weather events.
Scientists have been studying the event because it is seen as an analog, albeit an imperfect one,
of modern climate change.
The papers questioned everything from the relative role of natural mechanisms in changes to the climate system vis - à - vis increased CO2 concentrations, the allegedly «unprecedented»
nature of modern climate phenomena such as warming, sea levels, glacier and sea ice retreat, and the efficacy and reliability of computer climate models for projecting future climate states.
As a classic
indicator of the modern climate skeptic, he cited the IPCC's conclusions as authority for the points that he believed supported his arguments, but dismissed the IPCC's conclusions for points that did not support his arguments.
The climate conditions of the MWP are often compared to those of the late 20th and early 21st centuries in arguments over the causes and potential
effects of modern climate trends.
As a classic indicator
of the modern climate skeptic, he cited the IPCC's conclusions as authority for the points that he believed supported his arguments, but dismissed the IPCC's conclusions for points that did not support his arguments.
Increasingly, as we found, many scientists no longer even mention the human
cause of modern climate change in their papers.
Using paleoclimate data, recent
observations of the modern climate, and computer modeling, it concludes that a widely adopted goal of limiting global warming to a 2 °C increase would lead to «disastrous» consequences.
«All previous research that's been done trying to understand this very rapid colonisation of the Pacific tried to grapple with the migration in
terms of modern climate,» says Ian Goodwin of Macquarie University in Sydney, Australia.
Dr. Huybers» research involves the causes of glacial cycles,
evaluation of modern climate extremes, and the implications of climate change for food production.
The findings mean the so - called Paleocene - Eocene thermal maximum, or PETM, can provide clues to the
future of modern climate change.
«The Keeling Curve is an
icon of modern climate science,» Thomas J. Barton, the most recent past president of the ACS, said in a statement.
«Wulf's often - vivid re-creation... a reminder of what a glorious writer Humboldt was... Among the many delights are the quotations taken directly from Humboldt's letters... Wulf properly seeks to reclaim him as the
progenitor of modern climate science, as the first to realize the interconnectedness of nature.»
As scientists looked for ways to get around the problem,
critics of modern climate science dismissed the tree ring data as unreliable and accused scientists of cooking up tricks to support the theory of global warming.
Zeebe et al (2015) point out that our current climate change, occurring in just a couple of centuries, has no analog in the past 66 million years, which presents a challenge for our ability to predict the long term
consequences of modern climate change.
Just in the last 650,000 years there have been seven cycles of glacial advance and retreat, with the abrupt end of the last ice age about 7,000 years ago marking the
beginning of the modern climate era — and of human civilization.
Well, in a nutshell, the anthropogenic global warming hypothesis, which is at the
center of modern climate - doomsday scenarios, can not explain the powerful warming of the past.
Last summer, James Hansen — the
pioneer of modern climate science — pieced together a research - based revelation: a little - known feedback cycle between the oceans and massive ice sheets in Antarctica and Greenland might have already jump - started an exponential surge of sea levels.
In this second article we re-examine related events concerning the 1850/1880 CRU / Giss temperature records, and then pay particular attention to the reliability of those readings that have become the
basis of our modern climate industry, examine those who carried out the original observations, and look at the circumstances under which data was collected.
The real question is whether or not Catastrophic Anthropogenic Global Warming due to C02 and other «greenhouse» gases is a useful
description of modern climate.
Many have credited this article to Roger Revelle, a man described by some as the
grandfather of modern climate change science and whose name woul dhave given the article significantly more credence than Singer's alone.
