Principles of Planetary Climate Pierrehumbert R.T.
Publisher: CUP

Experts are little help in the You have to extrapolate from present-day facts and principles, and there are varying opinions about these. I'd also recommend Ray Pierrehumbert's "Principles of Planetary Climate" or Spencer Weart's "The Discovery of Global Warming". Yesterday The Economist published an article about climate sensitivity – how much the planet's surface will warm in response to the increased greenhouse effect from a doubling of atmospheric CO2, including amplifying and dampening feedbacks. For full technical details of atmospheric physics, I have learned a heck of a lot from Ray Pierrehumbert's excellent textbook: "Principles of Planetary Climate" (Cambridge University Press, 2010) (Forthcoming). PIERREHUMBERT, 2010: Principles of Planetary Climate. For more, read Ray Pierrehumbert's "Principles of Planetary Climate". At the same time, there is an opinion that people cannot in principle radically influence the planet's climate, and all talks about warming are a “conspiracy” of alarmists, politicians and industrialists. So there is vast heterogeneity in how climate science is being taught in U.S. Any serious conversation about the planet's climate and our energy future must begin, paradoxically, with a backward look at geologic time. The reason for this is that the way forward is fogged by misunderstandings about the earth. David, have you ever thought of reading a general book on planetary climate calculations and applied methods? I'd highly recommend Ray Pierrehumbert's “Principles of Planetary Climate” …. Schools, in what class--and indeed, in whether it is being taught at all. Cambridge University Press, 652 pp. For the most part the article was This walk-through of the radiative transfer physics of radiative forcing is taken from the textbook Principles of Planetary Climate, by Raymond Pierrehumbert (U. Pierrehumbert's “Principles of Planetary Climate is a good one.” Right now I'm reading “Greenhouse gas radiative forcing: Effects of averaging and inhomogeneities in trace gas distribution” by R.
