Climate Letter #352

New monthly report for CO2 levels. Check out all three charts on this website. Still no sign of any change in the trend, which on average has been gaining 2.1ppm per year recently. Not good, but it needs to be prevented from getting worse. China’s next moves on coal could make a difference.

El Nino update. Reports are showing up that we have actually entered into what by definition qualifies as an El Nino period, though one that is exceedingly weak. Check it out in the link below. Personally, I have some doubts about making such a call. Take a look at the Climate Reanalyzer site, http://cci-reanalyzer.org/DailySummary/#, click on SST anomaly, and find the map of the eastern Pacific centered on the equator. The anomalies on the equator itself are on the cold side, not warm. There are some pulses of warmth just to the north, but they are not too impressive. Then look at the coast of South America, where there are massive upwellings of really cold water moving north all the way to the equator. And on the surface wind chart I see nothing but east to west. How can you call that an El Nino? Where do temperature effects come in?  Go figure.

Discussion related to recent papers explaining the warming “pause.” A fine review of the work by John Abraham, including new direct quotes from two of the main authors. There are a number of insights that help make it all very clear. One author says, “When this trend reverses, warming will accelerate and this likely will impose substantial burdens on human society.”

Is this the future of silicon solar panels? This story is irresistable because the main idea is so interesting and the results would be incredibly cost effective, but it is still very early in the game, with financing quaintly uncertain. Cleantechnica introduces it well. What really gets me is the people who are behind it—they are not just kids. I have added a link that includes their biographies, along with more about what they are up to. (Keep in mind that silicon is not necessarily the ultimate winner in solar panels, but for now it certainly is.)
Here is the extra information:
