Il sociologo\u00a0Roger Pielke Jr<\/a> sospetta Marcott et al. di misconduct, pretende una correzione al paper, la smentita di un comunicato stampa per una frase (corretta) non attribuita agli autori, nonch\u00e9 di articoli (corretti) sui media. Poi <\/span>afferma:<\/span><\/p>\n

There are a few bad eggs, with the Real Climate mafia being among them, who are exploiting climate science for personal and political gain.<\/em><\/p>\n

Dr James Renwick, associate professor of physical geography at Victoria University, dismissed Lord Monckton’s views as “rubbish”. “He’s a great showman and speaker, and climate change is a vehicle to self-publicise. But he has no training and has studiously avoided learning anything about science, I would say.”\u00a0Professor Dave Frame, director of the Climate Change Research Institute at Victoria University, described him as a “vaudeville act” to be ignored.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

L’Antartide perde circa 50 gigatonnel. \u00a0di ghiaccio continentale all’anno mentre d’inverno si espande la banchisa. Su Nature Geoscience<\/em>, Richard Bintanja<\/a> et al. dell’Uff. Meteo<\/a> olandese confermano<\/a> l’ipotesi del mare circostante che gela di pi\u00f9 perch\u00e9 ci staziona sopra l’acqua meno densa dello scioglimento estivo. Un po’ la \u00a0scoperta dell’acqua calda:<\/p>\n

Specifically, we present observations indicating that melt water from Antarctica\u2019s ice shelves accumulates in a cool and fresh surface layer that shields the surface ocean from the warmer deeper waters that are melting the ice shelves. Simulating these processes in a coupled climate model we find that cool and fresh surface water from ice-shelf melt indeed leads to expanding sea ice in austral autumn and winter. This powerful negative feedback counteracts Southern Hemispheric atmospheric warming. … We suggest that cool sea surface temperatures around Antarctica could offset projected snowfall increases in Antarctica, with implications for estimates of future sea-level rise.<\/em><\/p>\n

we show, using climate scenarios for the 2050s and models that utilize statistical associations between vegetation and climate, the potential for extremely widespread redistribution of vegetation across the Arctic. We predict that at least half of vegetated areas will shift to a different physiognomic class, and woody cover will increase by as much as 52%. By incorporating observed relationships between vegetation and albedo, evapotranspiration and biomass, we show that vegetation distribution shifts will result in an overall positive feedback to climate that is likely to cause greater warming than has previously been predicted. <\/em><\/p>\n

Jim Haywood del Met Office britannico et al. hanno trovato<\/a> un’altra correlazione per spiegare la crescita della banchisa antartica durante l’inverno locale:<\/span><\/p>\n

Using de-trended observations from 1900 to 2010, we show that three of the four driest Sahelian summers were preceded by substantial Northern Hemisphere volcanic eruptions. We use a state-of-the-art coupled global atmosphere\u2013ocean model to simulate both episodic volcanic eruptions and geoengineering by continuous deliberate injection into the stratosphere. In either case, large asymmetric stratospheric aerosol loadings concentrated in the Northern Hemisphere are a harbinger of Sahelian drought whereas those concentrated in the Southern Hemisphere induce a greening of the Sahel.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Ma a che cosa era dovuta la quarta estate pi\u00f9 arida?<\/p>\n

Further studies of the detailed regional impacts on the Sahel and other vulnerable areas are required to inform policymakers in developing careful consensual global governance before any practical solar radiation management geoengineering scheme is implemented.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Due riversamenti di bitume canadese in una settimana: mercoled\u00ec un treno deraglia e sparge 15 mila galloni nel Minnesota; gioved\u00ec un pipeline della Exxon che si buca ne sparge 10 mila in Arkansas. Un’abitudine, ricorda il Guardian<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

The US Department of Transportation earlier this week proposed a fine of $1.7m for Exxon over pipeline safety violations relating to a 2011 oil spill in the Yellowstone River. Exxon’s Silvertip pipeline, which carries 40,000 barrels per day of crude in Montana, leaked about 1,500 barrels of oil into the river in July 2011 after heavy flooding in the area.<\/em><\/p>\n

None of the five main global temperature data sets shows statistically significant trend since 2003. But if they\u2019re adjusted to remove the influence of known extraneous factors \u2014\u00a0el Nino, aerosols, and solar variation \u2014 there is one which does show a statistically significant trend despite being limited to a mere ten years and two months.<\/em><\/p>\n
