#Climate #Chaos Emerges From Devil's #Bargain - July #Temperature Update -James #Hanson and Makiko #Sato

Editors Comments My good friend and fellow climate activist, Dr. James Hansen together with Dr.Makiko Sato provide a highly detailed and professional report monthly on global temperature trends so you can keep up-to-date on recent news and measures. Dr. Hansen is often referred to as 'The Father Of Global Warming' because of his 1988 testimony before Congress that exposed the imminent perils caused by global warming.

Something is going on in addition to greenhouse warming.  The 12-month running mean global temperature (blue curve in Fig. 2) has already reached its local minimum.  Barring a large volcano that fills the stratosphere with aerosols, the blue curve should rise over the next 12 months because Earth is now far out of energy balance – more energy coming in than going out. How far is the recent global temperature above the 50-year warming trend?  The best measure is probably the average deviation from the trend line of the two El Nino maxima and the two La Nina minima that followed.  That average is 0.14°C.  That’s a lot, and we know that it’s a forced change, driven by a growing planetary energy imbalance.

READ MORE ABOUT THE AUTHORS James E. Hansen Dr. James Hansen, formerly Director of the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies, is an Adjunct Professor at Columbia University’s Earth Institute, where he directs the Program on Climate Science, Awareness and Solutions. He was trained in physics and astronomy in the space science program of Dr. James Van Allen at the University of Iowa. His early research on the clouds of Venus helped identify their composition as sulfuric acid. Since the late 1970s, he has focused his research on Earth’s climate, especially human-made climate change. Dr. Hansen is best known for his testimony on climate change to congressional committees in the 1980s that helped raise broad awareness of the global warming issue. He was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1995 and was designated by Time Magazine in 2006 as one of the 100 most influential people on Earth. He has received numerous awards including the Carl-Gustaf Rossby and Roger Revelle Research Medals, the Sophie Prize and the Blue Planet Prize. Dr. Hansen is recognized for speaking truth to power, for identifying ineffectual policies as greenwash, and for outlining actions that the public must take to protect the future of young people and other life on our planet.

Sato Dr. Makiko Sato has devoted her career to researching our global climate. Before joining Climate Science, Awareness and Solutions, she spent the last few decades working closely with Dr. Hansen at NASA GISS after obtaining her PhD in physics. Her research interests include analyzing the computational results of climate modeling due to different climate forcings such as greenhouse gas increase, ozone depletion and stratospheric and tropospheric aerosol changes and analyzing global change data, especially atmospheric temperature. Dr. Sato analyzes and updates figures for critical climate diagnostics and feedback and climate forcings. All figures are available to the public on her website.
