The most important problem with the sun-climate explanation is that there has been no long-term change in either solar activity or cosmic radiation over the last hundred years that can explain the global warming we are now seeing. It feels like we start from scratch again because of inexperienced and lazy newcomers.

For example, Antarctica acts to cool our planet by reflecting solar radiation back to space by virtue of the brightness of its snow surface. The danger is that the Antarctic sea ice is starting to behave like the Arctic, with sustained loss of ocean cover and consequent absorption of solar radiation.

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.

Altering cloud properties influences Earth’s climate On sunny days, it’s clear that clouds leave shadows on the landscape. Climate scientists are interested in clouds for exactly this reason- clouds reflect sunlight, which has a cooling effect on surface temperatures. Cirrus clouds formed this way have many, small ice crystals.

A 2017 study led by geographer Camilo Mora from the University of Hawaii found that around 30% of people around the world are already exposed to climatic conditions above this deadly threshold for at least 20 days a year ( Nature Climate Change 7 501 ). “One Spend too long in a wet-bulb temperature above 35?°C

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
