Global warming in the pipeline
James E. Hansen, Makiko Sato, Leon Simons +14
Improved knowledge of glacial-to-interglacial global temperature change implies that fast-feedback equilibrium climate sensitivity (ECS) is 1.2 +/- 0.3°C (2) per W/m. Cons…
Ice Melt, Sea Level Rise and Superstorms: Evidence from Paleoclimate Data, Climate Modeling, and Modern Observations that 2°C Global Warming is Dangerous
James Hansen, Makiko Sato, Paul Hearty +16
We use numerical climate simulations, paleoclimate data, and modern observations to study the effect of growing ice melt from Antarctica and Greenland. Meltwater tends to stabilize…
Effects of Spin-Orbit Resonances and Tidal Heating on the Inner Edge of the Habitable Zone
Christopher M. Colose, Jacob Haqq-Misra, Eric T. Wolf +4
Much attention has been given to the climate dynamics and habitable boundaries of synchronously rotating planets around low mass stars. However, other rotational states are possibl…
Public Perception of Climate Change and the New Climate Dice
James Hansen, Makiko Sato, Reto Ruedy
"Climate dice", describing the chance of unusually warm or cool seasons relative to climatology, have become progressively "loaded" in the past 30 years, coincident with rapid glob…
