Big story in this week’s @economist.com about a major risk we are also increasingly focused on: Earth is reflecting less sunlight back into space, rapidly increasing Earth’s Energy Imbalance and making the world hotter.
Important paper on Earth energy imbalance out today: esd.copernicus.org/articles/17/...
Climate models with moderate climate sensitivity best simulate the magnitude of Earth's energy imbalance
Abstract. Recent studies have highlighted that state-of-the-art climate models are not able to simulate the large observed trend in Earth's energy imbalance. Here we evaluate climate models' ability t...

It's horrifying to see #Melissa intensifying right up to landfall - I dread to think what will happen in Jamaica, with up to a metre of rain forecast 🧪 But it's clear why Melissa is so powerful - it was fuelled by waters made abnormally warm by global heating: www.newscientist.com/article/2501...
Hurricane Melissa is being fuelled by exceptional ocean heat
The monster hurricane pummelling Jamaica is powered by abnormal sea surface temperatures in the Caribbean, which were made at least 500 times more likely by global warming

Summary and some background on our recent Science paper: cicero.oslo.no/en/articles/...
Observed trend in Earth energy imbalance may provide a constraint for low climate sensitivity models
Climate models that give a low warming from increases in greenhouse gases do not match satellite measurements. Future warming will likely be worse than thought

Observed trend in Earth energy imbalance may provide a constraint for low climate sensitivity models
Climate forcings by greenhouse gases and aerosols cause an imbalance at the top of the atmosphere between the net incoming solar radiation and outgoing longwave radiation from Earth. This Earth energy...

"Emissions have basically stabilized and accordingly the annual increase in atmospheric CO2 has stabilized (it spiked in 2016 and 2024 due to El Nino events but if you neglect those individual spikes the data show a clear leveling)," Mann. That, seriously, is about as wrong as it is possible to be:
