Thomas Jung is head of the Climate Dynamics section at the Alfred Wegener Institute and full professor for physics of the climate system at the University of Bremen.

The basic physics of climate change have been known for more than a century, but it is in recent decades that the fundamental science of global warming has solidified

Let me summarize how the key issues appear to me, a working scientist with a better background than most in the physics of climate.

The physics of climate change are simple classical physics in a stunningly complex, multiscale system, so it is possible to design experiments based on cause and effect.

We've reached a point now in the interdisciplinary growth of our science where we've got climate scientists, who understand the physics of climate and how that translates to uncertainties, working hand in hand with economists who will run the projected impacts through a cost - benefit analysis.

The anthropogenic hypothesis passes the test of conforming to all we know about the physics of climate.

Dude, have you even bothered to look at the physics of climate?

It is based on climate models, huge computer programs that attempt to reproduce the physics of the climate system and forecast the future response to greenhouse gases.

Of course, the physics of climate is far more complex than the simple gravitational interaction of two bodies, so our climate predictions are far less sure than locating the position of Neptune 100 years from now.

There is definitely no linkage in bracketing something as atmospheric health hazard and the discussion of the physics of climate change.

A seventh grader who knows nothing of the physics of the climate can lay down a ruler and draw an estimate (i.e. linear interpolation) based on the general trend.

Incidentally, The American Physical Society has started a Topical Group on the Physics of Climate.

The value depends strongly on social judgments, economic modeling, and on the physics of the climate.

CLOUD's genesis is in the mid-1990s, when space physicist Hendrik Svensmark hypothesized that cosmic rays as mediated by solar effects, play a very large role on the physics of climate, and could explain the warming and cooling trends.

This is based on simple math and what we know about the physics of the climate — no fancy models needed.

Similarly there is a good deal we do know about the physics of climate which suggests there is good reason to expect the climate to be warming, even though the observations do not unequvocally show this if you look at too short a period.

In addition, climate change is an area of interest for many APS members, including the more than 500 APS members who participate in the APS Topical Group on the Physics of Climate.

The basis for my judging the expertise of the APS on climate science is based on my participation in the Topical Group on the Physics of Climate, my knowledge of the POPA, and discussions with Koonin re the process for selecting the 6 experts to participate in the Workshop.

7 in The Physics of Climate Change: IPCC WG1 Third Assessment Report, Cambridge University Press.

He has been very energetic in his support of the APS Topical Group on the Physics of Climate (GPC) and contributed substantially to its development.

In 2006 Andrew Dessler, a Texas professor who specializes in the physics of climate change, declared (on a website) that the public shouldn't consult websites when seeking global warming information since, unlike IPCC reports, they weren't «based entirely on peer - reviewed literature.»

Because of the physics of the climate system, we must ensure that global emissions of greenhouse gases peak and start to decline rapidly within a decade in order to have a reasonable chance of meeting the 2 °C goal.

I would add that most IPCC mistakes were minor or even imaginary, and most were in working group 2 about (regional) effects of climate change; they did not concern the physics of climate and why it is changing.
