Global Climate Change01:50

Global Climate Change

29.1K
Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.

Temperature Measurement Sites01:14

Temperature Measurement Sites

3.6K
A thermometer measures body temperature. The common sites for measuring body temperature are the oral cavity, axillary region, temporal artery, and skin surface, such as the forehead, abdomen, and axilla. True core body temperature is assessed in the rectum, tympanic membrane, pulmonary artery, esophagus, and urinary bladder.
Oral: When assessing oral temperature, the thermometer tip should be placed under the tongue in the posterior sublingual pocket. It offers accurate readings and can be...

Radiation: Applications

1.9K
The average temperature of Earth is the subject of much current discussion. Earth is in radiative contact with both the Sun and dark space; it receives almost all its energy from the radiation of the Sun and reflects some of it into outer space. Dark space is very cold, about 3 K, so Earth radiates energy into it. For instance, heat transfer occurs from soil and grasses, the rate of which can be so rapid that frost can occur on clear summer evenings, even in warm latitudes.
The average...

Thermosensation01:43

Thermosensation

34.0K
Peripheral thermosensation is the perception of external temperature. A change in temperature (on the surface of the skin and other tissues) is detected by a family of temperature-sensitive ion channels called Transient Receptor Potential, or TRP, receptors. These receptors are located on free nerve endings. Those detecting cold temperatures are closer to the surface of the skin than the nerve endings detecting warmth. These thermoTRP channels, while temperature selective, have relatively...

What is Climate?01:16

What is Climate?

21.0K
Climate refers to the prevailing weather conditions in a specific area over an extended period. As the saying goes, “Climate is what you expect. Weather is what you get.” Climate is influenced by geographic factors, such as latitude, terrain, and proximity to bodies of water.

Area of Science:

  • Climate science
  • Earth system science
  • Environmental science

Background:

  • Global warming is a significant concern, necessitating accurate measurement and policy.
  • Existing methods for assessing human impact on climate can be complex and subject to uncertainty.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a straightforward, real-time index for global human-induced warming.
  • To evaluate the index's resilience against uncertainties in climate forcing and natural climate variations.
  • To provide enhanced scientific context for global temperature stabilization goals and potentially reduce climate policy volatility.

Main Methods:

  • Developing a novel real-time index for global warming.
  • Quantifying uncertainties from temperature observations, radiative forcings, internal climate variability, and model responses.
  • Comparing the proposed index with established methods for estimating human contribution to global temperature change.

Main Results:

  • The proposed index offers a simple, real-time measure of global human-induced warming.
  • The index's robustness was successfully assessed against various sources of uncertainty.
  • The index aligns with more complex methodologies for attributing global temperature changes to human activities.

Conclusions:

  • The developed index provides a reliable and accessible tool for monitoring human-induced warming.
  • This index can improve the scientific basis for climate policy and potentially reduce its fluctuations.
  • The findings support the use of this index for better understanding and managing climate change impacts.
