Unforced Variations: Aug 2021

2 Aug 2021 by group

This month is IPCC month – the Sixth Assessment Report from Working Group 1 is out on Monday August 9. We’ll have some detailed comments once it’s out, but in the meantime, feel free to speculate widely (always considering that IPCC is restricted to assessing existing literature…).

Open thread – please stick to climate science topics.

    There was a paper published recently saying something like we should not be modelling CO2 but rather we should look at radiation balance. Because I don’t know what it really said I can’t Google for it. Does anyone known the paper I am talking about?
    TIA, Alastair.
