Contributions of Stratospheric Water Vapor to Decadal Changes in the Rate of Global Warming
Susan Solomon,Karen H. Rosenlof,Robert W. Portmann,John S. Daniel,Sean M. Davis,Sean M. Davis,Todd Sanford,Todd Sanford,Gian-Kasper Plattner +8 more
TL;DR: It is shown that stratospheric water vapor is an important driver of decadal global surface climate change, by acting to slow the rate of warming by about 25% compared to that which would have occurred due only to carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases.
Journal ArticleDOI
The climate policy narrative for a dangerously warming world
TL;DR: It is time to acknowledge that global average temperatures are likely to rise above the 2 °C policy target and consider how that deeply troubling prospect should affect priorities for communicating and managing the risks of a dangerously warming climate as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Persistence of climate changes due to a range of greenhouse gases
Susan Solomon,John S. Daniel,Todd Sanford,Daniel M. Murphy,Gian-Kasper Plattner,Reto Knutti,Pierre Friedlingstein +6 more
TL;DR: It is shown that the warming due to non-CO2 greenhouse gases, although not irreversible, persists notably longer than the anthropogenic changes in the greenhouse gas concentrations themselves, which should not be expected to decrease climate change impacts as rapidly as the gas or aerosol lifetime.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aerosol composition of the tropical upper troposphere
Karl D. Froyd,Karl D. Froyd,Daniel M. Murphy,Todd Sanford,Todd Sanford,David S. Thomson,David S. Thomson,James C. Wilson,Leonhard Pfister,L. Lait +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the aerosol properties of the tropical atmosphere and use composition tracers to examine particle sources, the role of recent convection, and cirrus-forming potential in the TTL.
Journal ArticleDOI
Limitations of single-basket trading: lessons from the Montreal Protocol for climate policy
John S. Daniel,Susan Solomon,Todd Sanford,Todd Sanford,Todd Sanford,Mack Mcfarland,Jan S. Fuglestvedt,Pierre Friedlingstein +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that if a single-basket approach had been adopted, short-term success could have been at risk due to the non-unique relationship between controls and environmental impacts when using a single basket.
