[1] CO2 absorbs IR, is the main GHG, human emissions are increasing its concentration in the atmosphere, raising temperatures globally; the second GHG, water vapor, exists in equilibrium with water / ice, would precipitate out if not for the CO2, so acts as a feedback; since the oceans cover so much of the planet, water is a large positive feedback; melting snow and ice as the atmosphere warms decreases albedo, another positive feedback, biased toward the poles, which gives larger polar warming than the global average; decreasing the temperature gradient from the equator to the poles is reducing the driving forces for the jetstream; the jetstream's meanders are increasing in amplitude and slowing, just like the lower Missippi River where its driving gradient decreases; the larger slower meanders increase the amplitude and duration of blocking highs, increasing drought and extreme temperatures — and 30,000 + Europeans and 5,000 plus Russians die, and the US corn crop, Russian wheat crop, and Aussie wildland fire protection fails — or extreme rainfall floods the US, France, Pakistan, Thailand (driving up prices for disk drives — hows that for unexpected adverse impacts from AGW?)

Starting from an old equilbrium, a change in radiative forcing results in a radiative imbalance, which results in energy accumulation or depletion, which causes a temperature response that approahes equilibrium when the remaining imbalance approaches zero — thus the equilibrium climatic response, in the global - time average (for a time period long enough to characterize the climatic state, including externally imposed cycles (day, year) and internal variability), causes an opposite change in radiative fluxes (via Planck function)(plus convective fluxes, etc, where they occur) equal in magnitude to the sum of the (externally) imposed forcing plus any «forcings» caused by non-Planck feedbacks (in particular, climate - dependent changes in optical properties, + etc.).)

Where you then have a talik, from this combination of geological and radiative forces, and then there is plenty of free gas underneath that can migrate out easily through pathways once there are such tears, and then you add on top of all that that it is a seismically active zone, one can easily see how global warming could greatly amplify the effects of an earthquake at that fault zone.

The equilbrium global time average response (on a time scale sufficient to characterize externally - forced cycles (day, year) and internal varibility) to an imposed global time average radiative forcing is a change that balances the externally imposed forcing plus any non-Planck feedbacks (where the Planck response is part of the response to the other feedbacks.

Even though some of the CMIP models produce a lot of global warming, all of them are still stable in this regard, with net increases in lost radiation with warming (NOTE: If analyzing the transient CMIP runs where CO2 is increased over long periods of time, one must first remove that radiative forcing in order to see the increase in radiative loss).

So the darker hopes arise — maybe a particularly furious El Niño or a «carbon bubble» where the financial markets realize that renewables have become more scalable and economical, leading to a run on fossil - fuel assets and a «generational crash» of the global economy that, through great suffering, buys us more time and forces change.

Building on this critique, Speth goes on to conclude in his book that: (1) «today's system of political economy, referred to here as modern capitalism, is destructive of the environment, and not in a minor way but in a way that profoundly threatens the planet» (2) «the affluent societies have reached or soon will reach the point where, as Keynes put it, the economic problem has been solved... there is enough to go around» (3) «in the more affluent societies, modern capitalism is no longer enhancing human well - being» (4) «the international social movement for change — which refers to itself as «the irresistible rise of global anti-capitalism» — is stronger than many imagine and will grow stronger; there is a coalescing of forces: peace, social justice, community, ecology, feminism — a movement of movements» (5) «people and groups are busily planting the seeds of change through a host of alternative arrangements, and still other attractive directions for upgrading to a new operating system have been identified» (6) «the end of the Cold War... opens the door... for the questioning of today's capitalism.»

Then we have the Met Office's own admission in 2013, three years after they suspended and forced Jones to confess before they'd take him back: they issued a press release called» The Recent Pause In Warming» where they described three reports they'd written about how they knew everybody else knew they knew there had been a» 15 year pause in global warming starting in 1998.»

I brought this up in the context that this is exactly the kind of linear relationship claimed between forcing and temperature in the climate, where the change in the output variable, global temperature, is claimed to be a certain number λ times the change in the input variable, forcing.

it is found that global temperature trends since 1998 are consistent with internal variability overlying the forced trends seen in climate model projections (Easterling and Wehner, 2009; Mitchell et al., 2012b); see also Figure 1.1, where differences between the observed and multimodel response of comparable duration occurred earlier.

Examples of science fiction based on devastating climate change are Ready (1998), well - meaning but scarcely noticed; Turner (1989), a story of civilization collapsing under the pressures of war and economic forces as well as global warming (noted fairly widely for its literary quality); and, by two of the field's major authors, Silverberg (1994)(little noted), emphasizing the greed, stupidity and ambitions that were bringing vast destruction through ozone as well as global warming, and Sterling (1995), where colossal storms mingle with stormy political conspiracy.

Global temperature change obtained by multiplying the sum of the two climate forcings in figure 5c by a sensitivity of 3/4 °C per W m − 2 yields a remarkably good fit to «observations» (figure 6), where the observed temperature is 2 × ΔTdo, with 2 being the scale factor required to yield the estimated 4.5 °C LGM — Holocene surface temperature change.

It is also here where one needs to discriminate between long - lived forcings such as CO2, and short - lived forcing agents such as methane or aerosols, which can dominate the short - term behavior of global temperature, but have no discernible impact on the century - to - millennium scale trend.

Re 416 Bernd Herd — in climate science, for global climate change, specifically a global (average surface) temperature change in response to a global (typically average net tropopause - level after stratospheric adjustment) radiative forcing (or other heat source — although on Earth those tend not to be so big), where the radiative forcing may be in units of W / m ^ 2, so that equilibrium climate sensitivity is in K * m ^ 2 / W (it is often expressed as K / doubling CO2 as doubling CO2 has a certain amount of radiative forcing for given conditions).

He had just completed his doctoral thesis on the atmosphere of the planet Venus where carbon dioxide was dense and the surface temperature was a scorching 460 °C (860 °F), Now he was assigned to the question raised by Budyko — could climate forcings (as they're called) from human causes cancel out natural forcings of cooler temperatures and cause global warming in the near future?

If, as many have argued, exposure to international principles and the law of other legal cultures provides an important perspective on the development and operation of domestic law, then training in basic skills needed to acquire further knowledge of foreign and international law surely facilitates development of that perspective.41 This normative interest attains particular force in institutions where other topics in the legal curriculum (especially those taught in the first year) now include a global legal component.
