Strange Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 A new simulation has revealed that global warming could cause stratocumulus clouds to disappear in as little as a century, which would add 8°C of extra warming. A state-of-the-art supercomputer simulation indicates that a feedback loop between global warming and cloud loss can push Earth’s climate past a disastrous tipping point in as little as a century. https://www.quantamagazine.org/cloud-loss-could-add-8-degrees-to-global-warming-20190225/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StringJunky Posted February 26, 2019 Share Posted February 26, 2019 (edited) To add: Quote “Humanity cannot afford to ignore such clear signals,” the U.S.-led team wrote in the journal Nature Climate Change of satellite measurements of rising temperatures over the past 40 years. They said confidence that human activities were raising the heat at the Earth’s surface had reached a “five-sigma” level, a statistical gauge meaning there is only a one-in-a-million chance that the signal would appear if there was no warming. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-climatechange-temperatures-idUSKCN1QE1ZU Edited February 26, 2019 by StringJunky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
