New Worlds: Evaluating terrestrial planets as astrophysical objects
Caleb A. Scharf, David S. Spiegel, Mark Chandler +4
Terrestrial exoplanets are on the verge of joining the ranks of astronomically accessible objects. Interpreting their observable characteristics, and informing decisions on instrum…

Target atmospheric CO2: Where should humanity aim?
J. Hansen, M. Sato, P. Kharecha +7
Paleoclimate data show that climate sensitivity is ~3 deg-C for doubled CO2, including only fast feedback processes. Equilibrium sensitivity, including slower surface albedo feedba…
Implications of "peak oil" for atmospheric CO2 and climate
P. A. Kharecha, J. E. Hansen
Unconstrained CO2 emission from fossil fuel burning has been the dominant cause of observed anthropogenic global warming. The amounts of "proven" and potential fossil fuel reserves…
Scientific reticence and sea level rise
J. E. Hansen
I suggest that a "scientific reticence" is inhibiting communication of a threat of potentially large sea level rise. Delay is dangerous because of system inertias that could create…
