Is it possible to simplify the climate sensitivity debate?

Heat The greenhouse effect of carbon dioxide, the gas primarily responsible for making our planet hotter, becomes even more potent as as more of it is emitted, according to researchers. That grim finding comes from a new study, published in the journal Science, which took a look at CO2's effects in the stratosphere. Scientists have […]

Open access notables At our roots Skeptical Science is about cognition of the results of climate science research in the minds of the entire human population. Ideally wed be perfectly communicating understanding of Earths climate, and perfectly understood. We can only approximate that, but hopefully converging closer to perfection. With the passage of time and a lot of effort on the part of researchers working on how our species thinks, we can inch forward— if we pay attention. With that i...

Embarking on the quest to measure environmental impact, particularly in corporate travel, can be both captivating and complex.

Open access notables Dawning recognition of the gravity of climate change rapidly lead to questions about how the world ocean would respond to warming, naturally leading to what happens at shorelines? This evolution is fully covered in The evolving landscape of sea-level rise science from 1990 to 2021, Danial Khojasteh et  al., Communications Earth & Environment:

Is it possible that the Effective Radiative Forcing (ERF) of a small change in GHG forcing is a lot lower than the ERF for a similar change in solar forcing? This essay attempts to make this case.

As the world warms, flash droughts are expected to increase globally, putting farmers and food production at risk. A new study warns of the consequences of our actions on the environment and the need for immediate action.
