Ad Huijser: Greenhouse Feedbacks are Intrinsic Properties of the Planck Feedback Parameter
The idea that our climate reacts differently to anthropogenic forcings than to natural instabilities through the phenomenon of “feedbacks”, seems widespread. This paper shows that climate feedbacks are not effects induced by forcings, but in fact “constitute” our climate. Independent…
Frans J. Schrijver: Impact of global greening on the natural atmospheric CO₂ level
In this study we investigate the impact of greening on the Earth in terms of gross primary production (GPP) on the natural atmospheric CO₂ level. The total mass of CO₂ in the atmosphere is equal to the yearly amount of…
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…
Moritz Büsing: Systematic Error in Global Temperatures due to Weather Station Ageing
The white paint or white plastic of the housings of weather stations ages, which leads to increased absorption of solar radiation and to increased temperature measurements. This alone would be a small error. However, many different state-of-the-art homogenization algorithms repeatedly…
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…
Ian L K McNaugton: Temperature versus CO2 & Population Growth
For many years, the scientific debate about the threat of rising global temperatures caused by rising atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration has depended on estimation, homogenization, the use of anomalies rather than actuals, and complex computer modelling of key variables. This…
