CO2-warming, rising sea-level and retreating coasts: Review and critique
SUMMARY A CO2‐warming atmospheric scenario, whereby increased concentrations of ‘greenhouse’ gases result in higher temperatures that either melt near‐polar ice or cause thermal expansion of ocean…

Effects of dynamical heat fluxes on model climate sensitivity
The effect of the meridional and vertical dynamical heat fluxes on climate sensitivity is investigated using an annual mean coupled high and low latitude radiative-dynamical model of the northern…
Variations in Surface Air Temperatures: Part 2. Arctic Regions, 1881–1980
Abstract We describe annual and seasonal changes in air temperatures over high latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere during the period 1881–1980. Trends (that is, fluctuations on time scales greater…
Variations in Surface Air Temperatures: Part 1. Northern Hemisphere, 1881–1980
Abstract We have produced, using objective techniques, a long-term series of average Northern Hemisphere temperatures based on monthly mean station data gridded on a 5° latitude by 10° longitude…
Trace gas trends and their potential role in climate change
It is pointed out that the release of chemicals into the atmosphere has grown greatly over the last 50 years. Contributed to the observed perturbations of trace chemicals in the atmosphere have an…
Nuclear Winter: Global Consequences of Multple Nuclear Explosions
TLDR
The potential global atmospheric and climatic consequences of nuclear war are investigated using models previously developed to study the effects of volcanic eruptions, finding long-term exposure to cold, dark, and radioactivity could pose a serious threat to human survivors and to other species.
“Nuclear winter” to be taken seriously
Nuclear winter not yet established
Talk of some of the consequences of nuclear warfare had better be postponed until the underlying assumptions are better understood.
From Santorini to Armageddon
North American tree-ring data confirm that volcanic eruptions can cause climatic change. So would nuclear war, but to a degree not yet calculable.
Recent temperature changes in the Arctic and Antarctic
The possibility of a global warming induced by increasing levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide has led to increased interest in monitoring global temperatures. Polar regions are of particular…
