It’s 20 years since we started blogging on climate here on RealClimate (December 10, 2004). There is one graph that perhaps tells the story of what has happened since 2004, and it’s the Keeling curve shown in the figure below. Another thing I didn’t anticipate in 2004 was efforts such as the World Weather Attribution (WWA).

Part of the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite’s science instrument payload sits in a clean room at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory during assembly. Instruments installed on the International Space Station are refining weather forecasts by measuring water vapor in the atmosphere and water held in clouds.

Two decades ago, in an interview with science journalist Richard Kerr for the journal Science, I coined the term the “Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation” (AMO) to describe an internal oscillation in the climate system resulting from interactions between North Atlantic ocean currents and wind patterns. Shindell et al, 2004 ).

Without the considerable carbon absorption capacity of our lands (and oceans), we’d currently have much more CO 2 in the atmosphere and an accelerated timeline of warming. In North America, the land carbon sink between 2004 and 2013 offset roughly 39% of fossil fuel emissions , but varied substantially year to year.

The difference is due largely to the differences in the regional atmospheric response that occurs in concert with the SST warming. In particular, they don’t just respond to SST changes, but also how the atmosphere changes as the SSTs change. 353-366, 2004. 2016 ), could increase again in concentration. Zhang et al. Vimont, A.K.

Media awareness about global warming and climate change has grown fairly steadily since 2004. But because land isn’t quite as dark as the surface of the ocean, it doesn’t cause as much additional heating. My impression is that journalists today tend to possess a higher climate literacy than before. 2659-2673, 2011. Aue, and A.

Well, back in 1993 (before the more comprehensive critiques had been published), Hoyt and Schatten put together a long-term estimate of solar activity that relied on the SCL, based on the idea from FCL91 and scaled to a finding about cycling and non-cycling stars that turned out to be wrong too (Wright, 2004). 1273-1278, 2004.
