His research interests include studying the interactions between El Niño / Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and the monsoons of Asia; identifying
possible effects on global climate of changing human factors, such as carbon dioxide, as well as natural factors, such as solar variability; and quantifying possible future changes of weather and climate extremes in a warmer climate.

It's now commonplace to talk about
global warming and carbon footprints, so much so that it's easy to forget that until quite recently few thought it was even
possible that the actions of our species could have a potentially catastrophic
effect on the Earth's
climate.

The most widely quoted estimates, like those in the Dynamic Integrated Model of
Climate and the Economy, known as DICE, used by Yale's William Nordhaus and colleagues, depend upon educated guesswork to place a value
on the negative
effects of
global warming in a number of crucial areas, especially agriculture and coastal protection, then try to make some allowance for other
possible repercussions.
Although the most advanced theoretical
climate models still leave uncertainty, particularly about the sign and magnitudes of the
effects,
on GHG feedbacks, of some low - and high - clouds, a consensus began to develop that threats of resulting increases in
global temperature — and the very large risks associated with their
possible consequences — deserved substantial increase in attention.
If
possible at all, delaying the rise by storing water
on Antarctica would only show significant
effects in a scenario of ambitious
climate policy, strictly limiting
global warming.
