100,000 dead and counting. . . the largest number of bombs dropped in as short a period of time in history. thousands of 2,000 pound bombs dropped on civilian areas, surrounded by civilians. White phosphorous used on civilians. . . https://t.co/hEvzrENub1
@LeonSimons8@RARohde This was always my contention. But that a strong positive treng from ghg forcing was suppressed by regional (China) high temp stack SO2 land based emissions.
@LeonSimons8 It is still there but base conditions have changed. When PDO goes strong positive again (I theorize) that North H. Pacific ASR willgo back up from a new (higher) baseline.
Really great to see this presentation of this paper by two giants in the field @DrKateMarvel and @markjwebb on a real lowdown on ECS. https://t.co/oeTr5ncAxZ
@Seamus_Malek maybe we can talk about it over coffee in a non-violent synthesis of our positions and come to a mutual understanding of each other's perspective and humanity.
This is the most important post on X right now. It should also be noted that in a few decades of zero fossil fuel use the methane levels would decline enough to match this. But the decline in aerosols would raise temps by much more and more rapidly!
It's not this simple, but for basic understanding:
For Earth's Energy Imbalance of 0.86 W/m² to go to zero through increased Planck Feedback (= OLR) alone, temps would have to increase by another ~0.27°C (0.86/3.22).
Which would result in a temp of ~1.9°C above 1900!
@AukeHoekstra You do realize that this is no longer a high risk low probability event, right?
Say it with me. It is a catastrophic event that is now even odds of happening within the next 50 years.
Can anyone point to a case when university lab scale research received a bunch of buzz and press, and then actually delivered on its promise at scale?

@e_philalethes@MakikoSato6@LeonSimons8 except that the acceleration began earlier than the decadal trend shift. That is the point. Causality was the initial (early) efforts of desulphurization of China.
