Read out of context, that description fits climate change too, of course. Millions of us hopped planes, booked expensive AirBnBs, and made all sorts of detailed plans to be in exactly the place that scientists told them to be months ago. “ So why do so many ignore scientists’ predictions about climate change?!!”

Warming of the surface of the Arctic is matched by a colder polar vortex high in the atmosphere, which is speeding the breakdown of the Earth’s shield against ultraviolet rays.

But this simplified pathway misses a key step in cloud formation–and one that could help us combat climate change. Altering cloud properties influences Earth’s climate On sunny days, it’s clear that clouds leave shadows on the landscape.

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 a world with just random local fluctuations but no climate change, about half the weather stations would show a (more or less significant) warming, the other half a cooling. And yes, also the increase in back-radiation towards the Earth surface from the CO2 greenhouse effect is a measured fact. It’s not hard to understand.

Last week, the Nobel physics prize was (half) awarded to Suki Manabe and Klaus Hasselmann for their work on climate prediction and the detection and attribution of climate change. This came as quite a surprise to the climate community – though it was welcomed warmly. But let’s go back to the beginning.

Proponents claim the process will replicate phytoplankton fertilization by iron-rich dust blown into the oceans during ice ages, and that it will help limit climate change through several mechanisms – most prominently by oxidizing atmospheric methane. Is there a way out? Trying to stamp these out is a fool’s errand.

With the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) coming up next month, it is strange to think that less than 100 years ago global warming was not widely accepted, even among experts. But climate science has a long and multidisciplinary history, with contributions from scientists both within and outside academia.

We know we must now work to both cut greenhouse gas emissions to reduce the severity of climate change and at the same time work to adapt to the impacts we can no longer avoid. Gleick disagrees and defends the Malthusian notion that future food surpluses are highly uncertain due to climate change, and argues that I ignore such risks.

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
