James-Hansen-ACPD-Climate-Change-Impacts-15-20059-2015 // Ice melt, sea level rise and superstorms: evidence from paleoclimate data, climate modeling, and modern observations that 2◦C global warming is highly dangerous
Abstract
There is evidence of ice melt, sea level rise to +5–9 m, and extreme storms in the prior
interglacial period that was less than 1 ◦C warmer than today. Human-made climate
forcing is stronger and more rapid than paleo forcings, but much can be learned by
5 combining insights from paleoclimate, climate modeling, and on-going observations.
We argue that ice sheets in contact with the ocean are vulnerable to non-linear disintegration
in response to ocean warming, and we posit that ice sheet mass loss can be
approximated by a doubling time up to sea level rise of at least several meters. Doubling
times of 10, 20 or 40 years yield sea level rise of several meters in 50, 100 or
10 200 years. Paleoclimate data reveal that subsurface ocean warming causes ice shelf
melt and ice sheet discharge. Our climate model exposes amplifying feedbacks in the
Southern Ocean that slow Antarctic bottom water formation and increase ocean temperature
near ice shelf grounding lines, while cooling the surface ocean and increasing
sea ice cover and water column stability. Ocean surface cooling, in the North Atlantic
15 as well as the Southern Ocean, increases tropospheric horizontal temperature gradients,
eddy kinetic energy and baroclinicity, which drive more powerful storms. We focus
attention on the Southern Ocean’s role in affecting atmospheric CO2 amount, which in
turn is a tight control knob on global climate. The millennial (500–2000 year) time scale
of deep ocean ventilation affects the time scale for natural CO2 change, thus the time
20 scale for paleo global climate, ice sheet and sea level changes. This millennial carbon
cycle time scale should not be misinterpreted as the ice sheet time scale for response
to a rapid human-made climate forcing. Recent ice sheet melt rates have a doubling
time near the lower end of the 10–40 year range. We conclude that 2 ◦C global warming
above the preindustrial level, which would spur more ice shelf melt, is highly danger25
ous. Earth’s energy imbalance, which must be eliminated to stabilize climate, provides
a crucial metric

CLIMATE CHANGE ... Hansen etal predictions 2015
RISK-p3-14 ... Some highlights from the Hansen etal report of 2015
James Hansen and many other scientists have been working on the matter of climate change for a long time. Climate change is very complicated, but the evidence is that we are facing change that has not been seen in MILLIONS of years. We are not facing a 100 year storm, but a disruption that happens only a few times in the life of the planet. This Hansen report should be a wake up call to decision makers. It further justifies the MDIA rethink of how we do metrics about all decision making and the accounting for risk.

Young People’s Burden: Requirement of Negative CO2 Emissions
Abstract ... Published: 4 October 2016
The rapid rise of global temperature that began about 1975 continues at a mean rate of about
0.18°C/decade, with the current annual temperature exceeding +1.25°C relative to 1880-1920.
Global temperature has just reached a level similar to the mean level in the prior interglacial
25 (Eemian) period, when sea level was several meters higher than today, and, if it long remains at
this level, slow amplifying feedbacks will lead to greater climate change and consequences. The
growth rate of climate forcing due to human-caused greenhouse gases (GHGs) increased over
20% in the past decade mainly due to resurging growth of atmospheric CH4, thus making it
increasingly difficult to achieve targets such as limiting global warming to 1.5°C or reducing
30 atmospheric CO2 below 350 ppm. Such targets now require “negative emissions”, i.e., extraction
of CO2 from the atmosphere. If rapid phasedown of fossil fuel emissions begins soon, most of
the necessary CO2 extraction can take place via improved agricultural and forestry practices,
including reforestation and steps to improve soil fertility and increase its carbon content. In this
case, the magnitude and duration of global temperature excursion above the natural range of the
35 current interglacial (Holocene) could be limited and irreversible climate impacts could be
minimized. In contrast, continued high fossil fuel emissions by the current generation would
place a burden on young people to undertake massive technological CO2 extraction, if they are to
limit climate change. Proposed methods of extraction such as bioenergy with carbon capture and
storage (BECCS) or air capture of CO2 imply minimal estimated costs of 104-570 trillion dollars
40 this century, with large risks and uncertain feasibility. Continued high fossil fuel emissions
unarguably sentences young people to either a massive, possibly implausible cleanup or growing
deleterious climate impacts or both, scenarios that should provide both incentive and obligation
for governments to alter energy policies without further delay
