Global freshwater levels continue to be low: https://www.scinexx.de/news/geowissen/globaler-wasservorrat-ist-abrupt-geschrumpft/ (German article based on NASA data)

Kai Neumann

Costs from climate change are going to be six times higher then what it would take to tackle it: https://www.scinexx.de/news/geowissen/klimawandel-so-teuer-wird-es/

Only an indirect aspect but China's coastal cities are sinking due to the weight of buildings, vibrations from traffic and consumption of ground water - thus a third of them is going sink below sea level quite soon: https://www.scinexx.de/news/geowissen/warum-chinas-grossstaedte-absinken/

I am starting to add the information directly to the factors and connections within the model. However, here is some latest news on the underestimated effects of forests: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2021/02/210208185117.htm

Kai Neumann

https://www.resilience.org/stories/2018-11-28/blue-carbon-an-effective-climate-mitigation-and-drawdo... probably it makes a difference whether we protect at restore these kind of systems or create unstable new systems, doesn't it?

some interesting forecast for Germany: http://www.scinexx.de/newsletter-wissen-aktuell-22185-2017-12-07.html

here I would really like to take a closer look, possibly with a new model: https://www.technologyreview.com/s/609629/global-warming-may-harm-children-for-life/?utm_source=MIT+...
It says that extreme heat causes lower income later. Maybe correlation and causation is confused?

here is an interesting report according to which there was no pausing of a warming of the oceans: http://www.scinexx.de/newsletter-wissen-aktuell-21016-2017-01-05.html

Kai Neumann

Here is a nice source. To be fair one should follow the discussions beneath each point:
https://skepticalscience.com/argument.php

Kai Neumann

I am not sure where to put this rather historically effect of possible oxidation of organic materials from oceans that is said to had caused an reinforcing spike in CO2 concentration in the atmosphere: http://www.ldeo.columbia.edu/news-events/historic-shrinking-antarctic-ice-sheet-linked-co2-spike
It this a potential effect today, as well?

Kai Neumann

while we always hear that it is yet undecided how the weather will finally change in Europe there are now first insights that it will be heavier rains with floodings because of the temperature increase of the Mediterranean: http://www.scinexx.de/newsletter-wissen-aktuell-20601-2016-09-12.html

Kai Neumann

Kai Neumann

http://www.wissenschaft.de/erde-weltall/klima-wetter/-/journal_content/56/12054/10716164/Rekordrate-.... . says we currently face a record rate of emissions, while https://www.technologyreview.com/s/601055/global-carbon-dioxide-emissions-have-now-been-flat-for-two.... says they have been flat for two years.

MaggerTheGreat

http://www.wetteronline.de/klimawandel/2015-12-02-so
A predicted minimum in sunspot number can result in global cooling. Of course that does not mean that i support global warming experiments to compensate this effect!

Kai Neumann replies Kai Neumann

El Nino has an effect connected to climate change http://www.scinexx.de/newsletter-wissen-aktuell-19502-2015-11-09.html

Kai Neumann

I have now included the influence of an increase of aerosols: http://www.wissenschaft.de/erde-weltall/klima-wetter/-/journal_content/56/12054/8706048/Die-Welt-wir...

Kai Neumann

http://www.wissenschaft.de/erde-weltall/klima-wetter/-/journal_content/56/12054/7122584 another effect on the Atlantic's currents

Kai Neumann

Question: is there an increase of evaporation and cloud development?

Kai Neumann

How about using categories and colors, e.g. for reasons, measures, negative effects, (balancing) side effects ... or something like that?

MaggerTheGreat

I think precipitation was missing in this model. I think it will also have connections to other factors of the model.

Kai Neumann replies Kai Neumann

Another hint that the gulf system is connected to the north atlantic system:
http://www.wissenschaft.de/erde-weltall/klima-wetter/-/journal_content/56/12054/6131189

Kai Neumann

Yepp, I confused something though there seems to be a connection. However, that's why I'd like to model collaboratively with people who know more :-)

MaggerTheGreat

Hi Kai, that is an impact on the gulf stream for example, but also on El Nino? Do you have a proof?

Kai Neumann replies MaggerTheGreat

less heavier salty water sinking down when it gets cooler driving the atlantic streams because of the additional fresh water?
