I particularly enjoyed the slides that, when combined (1) provided an overview of hotter and cooler CO2 molecules as it relates to how they are seen from outer space and from profile — because this will make it easier for me to explain this process to others; (2) walked through the volcanic and solar activity vs assigning importance to CO2 changes — because this another way to help make it clearer, too, but in another way; (3) discussed CO2 induced warming and ocean rise vs different choices we might make — because this helps point out why every day's delay matters; and (4) showed Figure 1 from William Nordhaus» «Strategies for Control of Carbon Dioxide» and then super-imposed upon that the global mean temperature in colors showing pre-paper and post-paper periods — because this helps to show just how far back it was possible to make reasoned projections without the aid of a more nuanced and modern understanding.

Over all, the directives reinforce an idea I've been exploring for many years now, in the paper (see the «Big Melt» series), our prize - winning «Arctic Rush» documentary, and my prize - winning Times book, «The North Pole Was Here» — essentially, the combination of a warming climate and rising thirst for oil and gas and shipping routes guarantees that the Arctic Ocean of our history and lore, an untouched, forbidding frontier, is now really history.

In terms of the so - called «pause», it becomes more and more clear that the current cool phase of the PDO is largely responsible for this «pause», but looking at the continued rise in ocean heat content, and the nice job Cowtan & Way have done interpolated Arctic temperatures, we see that the «pause», may have reflected a slowdown in the rise of tropospheric temperatures, but the energy imbalance of the climate system continues quite strongly.

It is a sweeping and valuable cross-disciplinary description of ways in which climate and ocean dynamics, pushed by the planet's human - amplified greenhouse effect, could accelerate sea level rise far beyond the range seen as plausible in the last report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and the most recent review of what leading experts on sea level think, this 2014 paper: «Expert assessment of sea - level rise by AD 2100 and AD 2300.»
