Aaslid: Climate Science versus Politics

Starting with a critical look at the IPCC science, from the excellent First Assessment Report in 1990 and downhill to the latest Sixth Assessment Report with its claim that we have had no natural climate change since the pre-industrial era,…

Hansen: The Danish Energy Transition

Denmark has set ambitious goals for CO₂-emission reductions and wishes to play the role of front-runner in the World. However, in reality the results are not so impressive and the transition is running into serious difficulties. Continue reading …

Demetris Koutsoyiannis: Relative importance of carbon dioxide and water in the greenhouse effect: Does the tail wag the dog? Supplementary Information

Using a detailed atmospheric radiative transfer model, we derive macroscopic relationships of downwelling and outgoing longwave radiation which enable determining the partial derivatives thereof with respect to the explanatory variables that represent the greenhouse gases. We validate these macroscopic relationships…

Dai Ato: The Sea Surface Temperature Rules

The impact of certain factors on the changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO₂) concentrations has yet to be elucidated. In particular, the impacts of sea surface temperature (SST) on the balance of CO₂ emissions and absorption in the atmosphere and…
