Green horrors: Nothing will save us
  • The unexpected result in Scenarios 1 and 2 is that the global temperature keeps rising for centuries after man-made GHG emissions of are brought to zero. Even more surprising, at first glance, is the fact that the temperature keeps rising after the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere has declined back to the pre-industrial level through absorption in the deep ocean, biomass and soil.

    In both cases the explanation (in ESCIMO) rests in the joint action of albedo, carbon (both as CH4 and CO2) from melting permafrost, and water vapour in warm air—which together ensure that the temperature stays high even when the concentration of CO2 declines.

    The planet gets darker: the role of albedo

    As temperature rises, ice and snow are melted, making the planet darker. Between 2070 and 2300, for example, the average ocean albedo (in ESCIMO) declines from 0.080 to 0.067, and the surface albedo from 0.127 to 0.117, see Supplement Figure 15. As a result, more short-wave radiation is absorbed. In ESCIMO about 1.7 Wm−2—which is enough to trigger and drive significant change in the delicately balanced, global climate system.

    Water vapour feedback

    Water vapour exists in the atmosphere because of the balance between evaporation, which increases with temperature, and precipitation from the atmosphere, which also increases with temperature. H2O is not held in the atmosphere because of CO2, or any other GHG. This means that water vapour, and its warming effect, will not disappear when the CO2 concentration declines back to pre-industrial levels—as long as the temperature stays high enough.

    In 1980s lot of western researches with politicians invented new scientific genre - ecological terrorism papers.

    First it had been ozon holes hoax.

    Now it is horrible global warming we can't stop (but must all die anyway to save the Earth!).

  • Actually I pray that this CH4 from ocean is hoax. Otherwise this would be the most horrible news in my recent memory.
