Climate Effects of Black Carbon Aerosols in China and India
TL;DR: A global climate model used to investigate possible aerosol contributions to trends in China and India found precipitation and temperature changes in the model that were comparable to those observed if the aerosols included a large proportion of absorbing black carbon (“soot”), similar to observed amounts.

TL;DR: The authors used a global climate model to compare the effectiveness of many climate forcing agents for producing climate change and found that replacing traditional instantaneous and adjusted forcings with an easily computed alternative, Fs, yields a better predictor of climate change, i.e., its efficacies are closer to unity.

Soot climate forcing via snow and ice albedos
James Hansen,Larissa Nazarenko +1 more
TL;DR: Reducing soot emissions, thus restoring snow albedos to pristine high values, would have the double benefit of reducing global warming and raising the global temperature level at which dangerous anthropogenic interference occurs.

TL;DR: The ModelE version of the GISS atmospheric general circulation model (GCM) and results for present-day climate simulations (ca. 1979) were presented in this article, where the model top is now above the stratopause, the number of vertical layers has increased, a new cloud microphysical scheme is used, vegetation biophysics now incorporates a sensitivity to humidity, atmospheric turbulence is calculated over the whole column, and new land snow and lake schemes are introduced.

Earth's Energy Imbalance: Confirmation and Implications
James Hansen,Larissa Nazarenko,Reto Ruedy,Makiko Sato,Josh K. Willis,Anthony D. Del Genio,Dorothy Koch,Andrew A. Lacis,Ken Lo,Surabi Menon,T. Novakov,Judith Perlwitz,Gary L. Russell,Gavin A. Schmidt,Nicholas Tausnev +14 more
TL;DR: It is calculated that Earth is now absorbing 0.85 ± 0.15 watts per square meter more energy from the Sun than it is emitting to space, confirmed by precise measurements of increasing ocean heat content over the past 10 years.
