In fact, in 1938 Sir George Simpson, a leading meteorologist, dismissed the link between rising carbon-dioxide (CO 2 ) concentration and temperature as “ rather a coincidence ”. Callendar’s 1938 paper “The artificial production of carbon dioxide and its influence on temperature” ( Q. 139 1961 ).

The energy balance of our planet , the radiation arriving and leaving, is continually monitored by a global radiation network at the surface and by dedicated satellites. And yes, also the increase in back-radiation towards the Earth surface from the CO2 greenhouse effect is a measured fact.

Last month, 44 climate scientists from 15 countries wrote an open letter to the Nordic Council of Ministers highlighting the risk of a potential collapse of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), a critical ocean current system in the Atlantic Ocean. What are climate scientists demanding?

As climate scientists we tend to look at the IPCC reports a little differently than the general public might. Here are a few things that mark this report out from previous versions that relate to issues we’ve discussed here before: Extreme events are increasingly connected to climate (duh!) 1981) which can be seen here.

In this, he is in violent agreement with Isaac Held, his colleague at GFDL, and indeed most climate scientists.
