RE: [geo] Nordhaus: Devastating global warming is inevitable

Since Andy is linking to Trump, here’s a another commentary on the potential effects of the next US administration regarding the Paris targets which we published in Nature Climate Change after Christmas: http://www.nature.com/nclimate/journal/vaop/ncurrent/full/nclimate3193.html or here for thos

Re: [geo] Nordhaus: Devastating global warming is inevitable

The most important thing about Nordhaus's paper and conclusions, which I focused on in a recent Trump piece , is that he once held fast to the same assumptions Mann's hanging on to. He's de

Re: [geo] The G4Foam experiment: Global climate impacts of regional ocean albedo modification

The purpose of the study is to describe the global climate impacts of this specific regional forcing. A cooler ocean would increase the net carbon sink. The foam would be very diffuse, limiting impacts on air sea gas exchange. NPP is negligible where we are placing the foam, as stated in the pap

Re: [geo] The G4Foam experiment: Global climate impacts of regional ocean albedo modification

Dear Andrew, Those are your claims, not mine. A foam does not have to be air tight, with a complete 100% cover of the water. Indeed, if one wanted to look at this idea in more detail, such issues should be addressed. We just changed the ocean albedo in certain regions without changing anyth

Re: [geo] The G4Foam experiment: Global climate impacts of regional ocean albedo modification

To summarise a short side thread between Alan and myself: Foams would potentially have a broad range of impacts, principally by limiting gas exchange, eg: * lower CO2 uptake (leading to higher atmos CO2,esp locally) * reductions in NPP * reduced DMS output (esp if bubbles don't burst), etc. Good
