Young People's Burden: Requirement of Negative CO2 Emissions
James Hansen, Makiko Sato, Pushker Kharecha +9
Global temperature is a fundamental climate metric highly correlated with sea level, which implies that keeping shorelines near their present location requires keeping global tempe…
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…
Scientific Case for Avoiding Dangerous Climate Change to Protect Young People and Nature
James Hansen, Pushker Kharecha, Makiko Sato +15
Global warming due to human-made gases, mainly CO2, is already 0.8°C and deleterious climate impacts are growing worldwide. More warming is 'in the pipeline' because Earth is out o…
Earth's Energy Imbalance and Implications
James Hansen, Makiko Sato, Pushker Kharecha +1
Improving observations of ocean heat content show that Earth is absorbing more energy from the sun than it is radiating to space as heat, even during the recent solar minimum. The…
Paleoclimate Implications for Human-Made Climate Change
James E. Hansen, Makiko Sato
Paleoclimate data help us assess climate sensitivity and potential human-made climate effects. We conclude that Earth in the warmest interglacial periods of the past million years…
