Think about what is involved – biological proxies from extinct species, plate tectonic movement, disappearance in subduction zones of vast amounts of ocean sediment, interpolating sparse data in space and time, degradation of samples over such vast amounts of time. All of which adds to the uncertainty. They get an ESS around 7.7±0.6ºC

By Deborah Pirchner, Frontiers science writer Image: Rob Lachlan As ocean temperatures rise, corals can lose their color due to heat stress. This knowledge can help with solar radiation management in marine ecosystems, including the Great Barrier Reef. Over the past two decades, coral reefs have declined at unprecedented rates.

The ocean retains heat for much longer than land does. Picture how a radiator heats a home. Water is heated by a boiler, and the hot water circulates through pipes and radiators in the house.

New calculations of the heating and cooling effects of airborne microplastics reveal that the overall influence on climate is strongly dependent on the distribution of microplastics in the atmosphere – which is currently poorly understood. Altitude matters.

For example, Antarctica acts to cool our planet by reflecting solar radiation back to space by virtue of the brightness of its snow surface. Several floating ice shelves – the massive slabs of ice that push back grounded ice from flowing into the ocean – have catastrophically broken up in a matter of days because of such melting.

From the ocean oscillations to trade winds, pressure systems that drives temperature, airborne particles that influence local conditions and even the phases of the moon and Earth's wobble all affect the climate (1). The east of the ocean is colder than normal while the west is warmer than average. What Climatology Is.

Much like big volcanic eruptions, the smoke from fire tornadoes can block radiation from the Sun and potentially cause temporary climatic cooling. Wildfire pollution can also travel far and wide, sometimes even drifting across entire countries and oceans , worsening air quality in distant locations.

In an unchanging climate, the random fluctuations would lead to warming in some parts of the world and cooling in others. 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. It’s not hard to understand.

These early thinkers were Thales (5) who created natural philosophy and theorized that seismological events such as earthquakes had a natural cause (correct) but assumed (wrongly) that landmasses were giant rafts that reacted to ocean ripples which caused the quakes. He was wrong about this too but Anaximander had another idea.

What they showed are the distinct fingerprints of two kinds of forcing; increasing solar activity which warms all parts of the atmosphere, and carbon dioxide increases which warm the surface and troposphere, but cool the stratosphere and above. The basic issue stems from the different timescales of the ocean and atmosphere.

First, underwater – in the sediments on the bottom of swamps, lakes, and the ocean. The issue is that total human radiative forcing includes several parts that heat and some that cool, so counting separate heating contributions like this leaving out the cooling parts gives too much heating.).

An area of high pressure above the Pacific Ocean was driven eastwards through the jet stream by a “Rossby wave” – a planetary-scale fluctuation arising from the Coriolis force. The Rossby wave eventually “broke”, dumping its energy – like an ocean wave hitting the shore – to create an area of high pressure locked over western Canada and US.

There may also be an extreme variation between warm and cool seasons, including extreme winds and storms due to the mixing of cold and warm air. Surface albedo is high - heat acquired during the day is radiated at night. The Indian Ocean is a hotbed of rainwater during monsoon season but the Gobi sees none of it.

This balance describes how much energy is being reflected back into space versus how much is being absorbed by our atmosphere; a positive change in the balance indicates that we’re taking more energy in (net warming) and a negative balance indicates that we’re reflecting more energy out (net cooling). link] Jacobson, Mark Z.
