For example, Antarctica acts to cool our planet by reflecting solar radiation back to space by virtue of the brightness of its snow surface. Prof Martin Siegert is an award-winning Antarctic glaciologist and climate scientist.

Student in the Department of Atmospheric Science at Colorado State University Most people remember the water cycle they learned in school: water evaporates from lakes, rivers, and the ocean, air carrying this moisture rises, cools, condenses, and forms clouds, and these clouds precipitate water back down to the surface.

To get an assessment of the progress thus far, as well as an idea if what has to happen next, I turned to two of my colleagues in the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) Climate & Energy Program: Principal Climate Scientist Rachel Licker and Transmission Policy Manager Sam Gomberg. How cool is that?

In this, he is in violent agreement with Isaac Held, his colleague at GFDL, and indeed most climate scientists. The proof of the pudding in climate model terms though are the quality and skill of the predictions. A recent paper Stouffer and Manabe (2017) , assessed how good the Manabe and Stouffer (1989) predictions were.

Extreme heat is not just an abstract notion: if we can’t cool our bodies enough, we’re in danger of neurological failure, organ failure and even death, with the risks highest for children and the elderly. On balance, clouds nearer the stratosphere warm us, whereas low-lying clouds tend to cool us because their greenhouse effect is smaller.

Climate scientists at the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS) have dubbed the six-month stretch from May through October the “ Danger Season.” Not only has much of what climate scientists have been warning about come to pass, many of the extreme weather events the planet is now experiencing are worse than they expected. “To
