He's not a climate scientist, he's an energy physicist. BIG difference. I wonder if he even consulted with someone who knows a lot more about this -- Jorge Sarmiento. Computer Models Suggest Global Warming Disturbs Ocean Circulation
Maybe a little different answer from that Ph.D. at Princeton. Like this:
Study says some global warming now irreversible
" Said geoscientist Jorge Sarmiento of Princeton University, "This is really a wake-up call about the seriousness of this issue." The study looked particularly at ocean levels and rainfall. The team found that, just by thermal expansion of ocean water alone, sea levels will rise by 1.3 to 3.2 feet if carbon dioxide rises from the current level of 385 parts per million to 600 and twice that if carbon dioxide peaks at 1,000. Melting of the polar icecaps could increase sea levels even more, inundating low-lying islands and much of the world's shorelines, but the effects are too uncertain to quantify, Solomon said. Reductions in rainfall also would last for centuries, according to the study, decreasing human water supplies, increasing fire frequency and devastating dry-season farming of wheat and maize."
Please give us some algorian predictions based on the rate
Done.
“He’s not a climate scientist, he’s an energy physicist. BIG difference.”
“I am a member of a number of professional organizations, including the American Physical Society and the National Academy of Sciences. I have done extensive consulting work for the US Government and Industry. I also served as the Director of Energy Research at the Department of Energy (DOE) from 1990 to 1993, where I supervised all of DOE’s work on climate change. “
Just read the article I linked you to.
“The team found that, just by thermal expansion of ocean water alone, sea levels will rise by 1.3 to 3.2 feet if carbon dioxide rises from the current level of 385 parts per million to 600 and twice that if carbon dioxide peaks at 1,000.”
Just by thermal expansion alone? Just by? What if there are other mitigating factors? There are.
Sea levels will rise by 1.3 to 3.2 feet if carbon dioxide rises from the current level of 385 parts per million to 600 and twice that if carbon dioxide peaks at 1,000.”
Prove that they will rise. Find a model that will backcast this and then forecast these predictions. But you are riding the same old horse I wont hop on. You are predicting catastrophy when what will happen is a bumpy transition from one energy source to another. You’d have predicted the demise of humankind when well any bump in the road happened.
