The Math of Climate Change

Climate change is controversial and the subject of huge debate. Complex climate models based on math helps us understand. How do these models work?
A lecture by Chris Budd OBE, Gresham Professor of Geometry 13 November 2018
www.gresham.ac.uk/lectures-an...
Climate change is important, controversial, and the subject of huge debate. Much of our understanding of the future climate comes from the use of complex climate models based on mathematical and physical ideas.
In this talk, Professor Budd will describe how these models work and the assumptions that go into them. He will discuss how reliable our predictions of climate change are, and show how mathematicians can give us insights into both past and future.

    As both a mathematician & earth scientist I would not be quick to apply standard concepts of math series or sequences as a prediction tool of temperature. I.e. one can't just choose a time range observe a temp increase & then isolate some causation & assume that doubling or tripling will happen. The earth's behavior arises from many feedback loops not from some geometric sequence of numbers.

    The bell curve graph he used to show a 1.5 degree shift (15:49) isn’t tied to any data. It is simply an example. The true difference between the two peeks would be much closer together and therefore show a much less dramatic increase in possible extreme hot weather. It does however show the phenomenon he is trying to explain more clearly. It is just over exemplified and therefore appears more alarming. Anybody else catch that?

    I am very skeptical about the graph of 6:48. The medieval warm period being less hot than 2000? This is the usual Mann con job. Also, the graph of 9:12 seems to be the graph "re adjusted" By NOAA to decrease the temperatures before 1980 and increase them after 1980.

    I agree 100% with your comments. This presentation repeats many IPCC misrepresentations and a bias towards the AGW hypothesis. The UK MET office has a long history of politization. The extreme climatic events argument is highly debatable with many periods of of frequent and severe events correlated with periods of low atmospheric CO2. This presentation has so many debatable assertions that it comes across as primarily as propaganda dressed up in scientific garb.

    The Medieval warm period was not warm in all areas of the earth. Some were actually quite cool, by comparison. It's just one more reason why some geographic regions did quite well during the time, while some were having a pretty crap time. One has to be careful with lumping the entire planet in with what are not always global effects. There's a paper covering a bit of the regional differences in temperatures here: advances.sciencemag.org/content/1/11/e1500806

    @@gregggoodnight9889 One of the main points of contention is the late Ordovician period which originally demonstrated an ice age even though the CO2 was one of the highest ever on record. However, that theory has largely been debunked as it was demonstrated that the GEOCARB data sets within the model were in 10 million year intervals however the period only lasted approx 0.5 million years.There's quite alot of literature on that period as well: 1. A major drop in seawater 87Sr/86Sr during the Middle Ordovician (Darriwilian): Links to volcanism and climate? (Young et al, 2009) 2. Did changes in atmospheric CO2coincide with latest Ordovicianglacial-interglacial cycles? (Young et al, 2009) 3. The impact of paleogeography, pCO2, poleward ocean heat transport and sea level change on global cooling during the Late Ordovician (Hermann et al, 2004) Definitely agree though that CO2 is not the only driver of climate change, but it certainly plays a role.

That said, when it comes to strictly scientific matters, it seems wise to pay more attention to scientists who are widely respected by OTHER scientists (i.e. when they are speaking the field(s) of science they are actively researching - as opposed to when they are speaking about areas they are NOT actively involved in...), than to people whose qualifications are "suspect" or worse. Climate science goes back 150+ years, and even in the 19th century the basic premises of the green-house effect were understood. Trust NOBODY "blindly", but DO put more trust in those who deserve it.

    The idea about extreme events is incorrect. If you look not on the average but minimum (winter) vs maximum (summer) temperature trends in the same area and the difference between tropical vs arctic weather - you'll see that both deltas are *decreasing*. Meaning its getting warmer in winter rafher than summer and warmer in the cold places rather hot places. Look at NASA data - the warming is concentrated near Arctic. Extreme weather is about these deltas. For e.g. in Chicago the weather is more extreme than Florida. So even if global warming is real - its going to be more comfortable and tropical (rainforest) climate with rare extreme events.

  • @grindupBaker

    @grindupBaker

    5 жыл бұрын

    Enthalpy of melted ice is not negligible but is small compared with heat being pushed into the oceans (it's ~3.5%). I'm not bothering to check the accurate values for this little comment so suppose it was 400 Gt / year melted average for both ice sheets the last 20 years so 8,000 Gt melted plus, say, 14,000 Gt of Arctic Ocean sea ice always gone on average now compared with the 1900 AD - 1970 AD period. To melt the 22,000 Gt of ice requires 7.3 Zettajoules total for the 20 years. Over the last 20 years 200 Zettajoules has been pushed into the oceans by the TOA radiative imbalance caused by the +GHGs forcings and their feedbacks so far. So oceans extra heat the last 20 years has been 27x the heat used to melt the lost ice. If it interests you enough to bother finding the actual ice loss the last 30-40 years say and the oceans extra heat from NOAA ORAP5 then do that calculation accurate, reply and I'll add that to my copious notes. Water vapour is too tricky for me to assess (it's time to relax before bed right now). 7% increase of the 80 w/m**2 = 5.6 w/m**2 increased latent heat oceans--->atmosphere. Radiation surface--->atmosphere = 396 w/m**2, sensible heat flux surface--->atmosphere = 17 w/m**2 so the 5.6 w/m**2 increase is a 1.14% increase in energy surface--->atmosphere. The energy atmosphere's energy is radiated to space and back to surface in the ratio 38%-->space 62%-->surface. You take it from there if it interests you enough. I might follow through to the final effect some other time.

    At 47.51 the Stefan-Boltzmann Law is used to get a mean earth temperature of 288 K. It is then argued that increased CO2 will decrease the emissivity, e, and raise the temperature. Perfectly reasonable. This point is developed at 50.22 where emissivities for various CO2 concentrations are given. However, e = 0.605 gives T = 288 K whereas the CO2 e-values are much lower; e.g. at 400 ppm CO2 e = 0.140 and this gives T = 415 K. So how are the original e = 0.605 and e(CO2) values related?

Co2 is therefore not the cause of warming, but the effect

It did not. Could I ask that the professor plugs in historical long term (very, very high CO2) numbers and sees what the model predicts and what the actual results were. This would be testing the Hypothesis (model) against actual long term data. The model does not seem to work.

These climate scientists never mention that there are also 18 paleo climate proxy analyses that have pegged climate sensitivity (warming for CO2 doubling) at 2.4 to 4.8 degrees, so most likely around 3.6 degrees, but that's after centuries to get squeeze out that final tiny bit of warming (because they are paleo climate proxies so long time scale) so will be a bit less than 3.6 degrees over 100 years. This does match well the 3.3 degrees climate sensitivity that WG1 climate scientists are settling on.

More CO2 alone will not make a plant grow more. It will also need more nutrients and water. If CO2 causes the Earth to warm more on average, the more water is going to turn into water vapor. Water vapor is a worse greenhouse gas than CO2. You would create a feedback loop. Also, some plants don't even use CO2 as plant food. Some plants use CO3 instead. Your idea is like saying eating more food will help you grow. Again, that's not how it works. You need water and nutrients to grow as well.

So this means that everyplace on Earth must have a new (it's global) climate, so then no human that ever lived on Earth has ever witnessed the "climate change" have they? The North American Indians may have seen ten thousand foot walls of glacial ice creep up on them only to retreat a short 25,000 years later but that's just short term local "weather" cause it didn't affect the Antarctica at all (cold and icy then, cold and icy now) The Hot Dry Sahara desert (its far larger than the USA) formed about 3 million years ago and it hasn't changed to this very day (I was in it just a few days ago). I'm not sure the modern humans species are as old as the Sahara and its climate has been the same for 3 million years.

But, it is understood that present trends will not continue linearly. It’s an indicator. Seasons, random effects, non-linearities, feedback effects, changing patterns of human behaviour will all influence what actually happens. One key point is that the shape of the graph shows that a similar projection made a few decades ago would have put the “ice free” date as 2200. That worries me, even though I won't live that long. It should concern you enough to take some action.

Also, they don't account for the carbon released from wild fires, industrial accidents, methane clathrate releases, and many other factors they can't account for so its very safe to say that the climate science is off, too far conservative.

It's even where we get the term "Butterfly Effect" from. No change in any variable related to the climate can have any predictable effect on the overall climate. It simply can't be done. Why do you think every single predictive model used by the AGW alarmists has been completely wrong? You can't even get an accurate weather forecast 2 weeks into the future, let alone decades or centuries. "Climate is what you expect. Weather is what you get." - Mark Twain So stop panicking over what some lunatic politicians are spoon feeding you on their prediction of the effect of increasing atmospheric CO2 from 0.005% to 0.006%, when that prediction is about as accurate as flipping a coin or consulting a magic 8-Ball. Here is my 100% accurate prediction for the climate: It will continue to change in an unpredictable manner, just as it has done for the last 4 billion years or so, and nothing humans can do will make that climate change predictable.

    The problem I noticed in the comments is a fundamental misunderstanding of statistics as some kind of hacky-ball that predicts the future. Many statistics shown in this video that are based on "uncertain" data are the effects of multiple complicated huge models that all test the data that is put in through a multitude of variables and predict a PROBABILITY not a certainty. A trend if you will. A good example to grasp what that means is to look at normal distribution graphs. They do not represent the data that is put in but the probability of certain points of data to occur as a mean therefor showing trends and probabilities for different variables and events to happen. THESE ARE NOT DESCRIPTIVE STATISTCS!!! People often seem to confuse the descriptive statistic with Probability and coefficient statistic. I highly recommend catching a video about regression analysis and probability statistics.

Probability in this case means the divination between odds and probability. It describes a probable mean (probability) which has a relevant potential to occur (odds).

    The Sun transmits at an effective temperature of approximately 5800 K, with an emission spectrum, peaked in the central, yellow-green part of the visible spectrum. Entering Earth's atmosphere, about 55% of the incoming sunlight is infrared photons. They strike the Earth and are reradiated back out into the atmosphere in the black body temperature range of 255K. The other 45% is white light and of that, about 30% of that is reflected back into outer space, which is what you would see from outer space looking back at the Earth. That should leave about 31.5% of the total light being white, to strike the Earth and be reradiated back into the atmosphere as infrared photons. That would mean 55% infrared photons coming in and 86.5% total infrared photons going out. As we increase secondary greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, we block more incoming infrared photons, slightly cooling off the planet. Being there are more outgoing infrared photons than incoming, we should trap more outgoing infrared photons than reflect incoming photons. That being said, all things being equal, on the mean, the planet must heat.

  • @Cspacecat

    Now let's talk about secondary greenhouses. CO2 is a greenhouse gas. That is it both absorbs and releases infrared photons. Once released, there is one chance in 41,253 that infrared photon will continue within one degree in the same direction. This basically gives that photon a 50/50 chance of going either up or down. Since the oceans cover about 71% of the Earth's surface, this gives that photon about a 35% chance of hitting a body of water. Infrared photons will not penetrate a body of water's surface, but will instead excite an H2O molecule causing evaporation. H2O is the primary greenhouse gas which prevents the Earth from having a climate like our moon. Consequently, the more CO2 we put into the atmosphere, the more H2O gets into the atmosphere, the warmer the planet gets. This is how a 46% increase in CO2 caused a 7% increase in absolute humidity. The present increase in temperature due to this combination of additional H2O and CO2 with over a doubling of CH4, in the atmosphere is approximately .9C at present. Because it takes a tremendous amount of time for the oceans to heat, it will take centuries for the Earth to reach temperature equilibrium. If we continue to inject 37 gigatonnes annually of CO2 into the atmosphere, that heating process will continue to accelerate with .6C of additional heat already baked into the system.

  • @Cspacecat

    As the atmosphere warms, the differential temperature decreases between the ocean's surface and the atmosphere, blocking the ocean from releasing its heat. In addition, about half of the 37 gigatonnes of CO2 is going into the oceans, also blocking the infrared heat from escaping the oceans and preventing the atmosphere from warming as much as expected. This is where 93% of the additional heat is being stored. This additional heat in the oceans will not only ­melt the ice caps but will allow vastly larger hurricanes to form and travel at much greater distances. The imminent threat isn't sea level rise but a future of massive storm surges. This website gives a more detailed explanation. www.skepticalscience.com/How-Increasing-Carbon-Dioxide-Heats-The-Ocean.html The Hadley cell will increase in size, pushing the Mexican Desert and the Sahara Desert north. This will turn Europe and the central US into desert regions. The Sahara becomes a wetland again. Due to the increase in Arctic temperature, the Thermohaline circulation will slow down allowing the Equatorial region to heat even further, increasing cyclones the size of the last interglacial period when massive chunks of the reef were thrown on top of cliffs.

Coal 161 Oil 36 Biomass 12 Peat 12 Natural gas 4 Solar PV .44 Hydropower .10 Light water reactors .04 LFTR and TWR .003 As you can see LFTRs and TWRs are the most cost efficient and safest energy supply possible at this time. We should easily be able to reach $0.02 to $0.03 per kilowatt-hour. That brings the price of everything down substantially. Building small mass-produced modular breeder reactors would also make windmills and solar panels exceptionally cost-effective. We could have the population producing the majority of their own energy leaving nuclear energy for industry. Or we can continue with this absurd global warming debate. Let us now talk about the multiplier effect. If we build breeder reactors first and use that electricity to produce solar panels, the BTU multiplier effect would be 2000*9=18,000 to 1. Considering a coal-fired power plant has a ratio of about 80 to 1, that figures out to be about 18,000/80=225 times the increase in efficiency. Doing so would flatten out the hierarchies of the world, creating vastly greater independence worldwide. This would accomplish exactly what the murderous communists attempted but badly failed at.

In 1859, John Tyndall did the original research on the physical properties of CO2. The first quantitative estimate of the effect of doubling atmospheric CO2 on the mean surface temperature of the Earth was made by Svante Arrhenius in 1896. Journal of the Atmospheric Sciences "Thermal Equilibrium of the Atmosphere with a given Distribution of Relative Humidity." May, 1967 Manabe and Wetherald were the first to include all the main physical processes relevant to the problem, using a model that was no more complicated than necessary to achieve this. This led to much more realistic simulations and enabled the results to be explained in terms of processes which could be observed in the real world. Manabe and Wetherald made a number of other discoveries. First, that the temperature of the stratosphere cooled markedly when carbon dioxide was doubled. This is the characteristic “fingerprint” of increasing carbon dioxide: the troposphere warms and the stratosphere cools, as we have observed over the last 50 years. 0469%281967%29024%3C0241%3ATEOTAW%3E2.0.CO%3B2 journals.ametsoc.org/doi/pdf/10.1175/1520-

As the accuracy of most thermometers is +/- 1 degree, the "data" has to be treated as uncertain and indeterminate. No matter which side you hear, none seems to consider the size of the human fire. The energy content of everything we burn, including uranium and the food we eat, ends up as heat. How much heat are we pumping into the system ? How much closer to the sun does this effectively make us ? How much energy are we pushing into the environment by replacing energy capturing plant life with the asphalt, concrete, and glass of our cities and suburbs ? Any takers ? Would make a heck of a graduate thesis.

The raw data would be unusable, this is its culmination. They also do something called regression analysis which measures the correlation between variables and data. Look it up on youtube it is very interesting. The problem I noticed in the comments is a fundamental misunderstanding of statistics as somekind of hacky-ball that predicts the future. Many statistics shown in this video that were based on "uncertain" data are the effects of multiple complicated huge models that all test the data that is put in through a multitude of variables and predict a *PROBABILITY* not a certainty. A trend if you will. A good example to grasp what that means is to look at normal distribution graphs. They do not represent the data that is put in but the probability of certain points of data to occur as a mean therefor showing trends and probabilities for different variables and events to happen. *THESE ARE NOT DESCRIPTIVE STATISTCS!!!* People often seem to confuse the descriptive statistic with Probability and coefficient statistic.

    the El Nino weather pattern causes spikes in global temperature like in 1998 & 2016. this weather pattern happens in the southern pacific ocean between Chile and Australia. So the southern hemisphere has huge impact on global temperature. scientists have known about for decades and factor it in. water vapour accounts for about 2 thirds of current global warming, but with out the 1 third from co2, the water vapour with precipitate out and have no effect. this is why historically when co2 levels dropped low, we had ice ball earth. co2 doesn't precipitate out and is thus seen as a driver of climate change.
