Can the 1.5 deg C warming target be met in a global transition to 100% renewable energy?
Peter Schwartzman, David Schwartzman
Assuming the state-of-the-science estimates for the remaining carbon budget of carbon dioxide emissions, our modeling study supports the conclusion that it is still possible to mee…
Climatic implications of a rapid wind/solar transition
Peter D. Schwartzman, David W. Schwartzman, Xiaochun Zhang
A transition to a fully global renewable energy infrastructure is potentially possible in no more than a few decades, even using current wind/solar technologies. We demonstrate tha…
The Geobiology of Weathering: a 13th Hypothesis
David Schwartzman
The magnitude of the biotic enhancement of weathering (BEW) has profound implications for the long-term carbon cycle. The BEW ratio is defined as how much faster the silicate weath…
The Case for a Hot Archean Climate and its Implications to the History of the Biosphere
David W. Schwartzman
The case for a much warmer climate on the early Earth than now is presented. The oxygen isotope record in sedimentary chert and the compelling case for a near constant isotopic oxy…
Potential multiple steady-states in the long-term carbon cycle
Stephen Tennenbaum, Faina Berezovskaya, David Schwartzman
In our modeling of the long-term carbon cycle we find potential multiple steady-states in Phanerozoic climates. We include the effects of biotic enhancement of weathering on land,…
Cosmic Thermobiology: Thermal Constraints on the Origin and Evolution of Life in the Universe
Charles H. Lineweaver, David Schwartzman
We review the thermal history of the Universe. We obtain a new estimate for the thermal history of the Earth over the past four billion years using a biological thermometer based o…
