Closing out 2023

According to our database, this year in our academic research section we've eyeballed, aggregated and listed 6,755 peer reviewed climate-connected research articles, with 42,629 involved investigators and published in 215 journals.& Demonstrating both the tight continuity and integration of the overall climate research enterprise as well as climate consilience in plain sight,& this year's new reports established their respective new research launching points by citing& 360,902 previous works. Nearly 63% of new work this year was available as open access in one form or another, a solid win for climate communications.

Our government/NGO section has included 441 reports from some 323 distinct organizations, all open access given that these organizations are striving to make a difference in the real world.&

Given the resources we're able to devote to New Research, what we're able to report is of course not comprehensive.&

All in all, the entire year of New Research& once again serves as a rather striking example of how absurd is the notion of a "climate conspiracy." Too many moving parts, by far!

Open access notables

Robust acceleration of Earth system& heating& observed over the past six decades, Minière et al.& (preprint, but... von Schuckmann)

In this study, we demonstrate that since 1960, the warming of the world ocean has accelerated at a relatively consistent pace of 0.15±0.02 W/m2/decade, while the land, cryosphere, and atmosphere have exhibited an acceleration pace of 0.013±0.002 W/m2/decade. This has led to a substantial increase in ocean warming, with a magnitude of 0.82±0.47 W/m2 between the decades 1960-1970 and 2010-2020, which overlays significant decadal-scale variability in ocean warming of up to 0.6 W/m2. Our findings withstand a wide range of sensitivity analyses and are consistent across different observation-based datasets. The long-term acceleration of Earth warming aligns qualitatively with the rise in CO2 concentrations and the decline in aerosol concentration during the same period, but further investigations are necessary to properly attribute these changes.

X-Change: Batteries The Battery Domino Effect,& Walter et al.,& RMI (from this week's government/NGO section):

The authors highlight the remarkable, exponential growth of battery sales, which is driven by a domino effect of battery technology adoption that cascades from country to country and sector to sector. This battery domino effect is set to enable the phase-out of over half of global fossil fuel demand and be instrumental in abating transport and power emissions, propelling the U.S. to over 60 percent of the way toward a zero-carbon energy system. At the core of the success of batteries lies a reinforcing feedback loop between market scale, cost, and quality. As the battery market grows, unit cost keeps falling and quality keeps rising.&

[It would be pleasing to see reports such as the above give at least a nod to external costs.]

Time to treat the& climate& and nature crisis as one indivisible global health emergency, Zielinski et al.,& Indian Journal of Medical Research (commentary):

Over 200 health journals call on the United Nations, political leaders and health professionals to recognize that climate change and biodiversity loss are one indivisible crisis and must be tackled together to preserve health and avoid catastrophe. This overall environmental crisis is now so severe as to be a global health emergency.

The finance perspective on fossil fuel divestment, Plantinga & Scholtens,& Current Opinion in Environmental Sustainability

This paper reviews the fossil fuel& divestment& literature. It argues that the origin of climate change is in the ‘carbon shield’, meaning that fossil fuel firms are not held sufficiently responsible for their externalities. By divesting from these firms, investors do not want to be complicit. The literature differentiates three dimensions in the fossil fuel divestment debate: Justification, Impact, and Agent. The first discusses the justification for divesting, whereas the second discusses the impact of divesting on financial performance and/or emissions, and the third relates to how to accomplish divesting and its consequences for individual agents. The review concludes that the number of perspectives used to analyze the divestment debate is rising, that the environmental and financial impact of divestment is very limited, and that a wide variety of agents relate to divesting from fossil fuel.

The Impact of Projected Changes in Hurricane Frequencies on U.S. Hurricane Wind and Surge Damage, Jewson,& Journal of Applied Meteorology and Climatology:

We investigate how changes in the frequencies of hurricanes of different intensities as a result of climate change may contribute to changes in U.S. economic damage due to wind and surge. We find that economic damage will likely increase as a result of projected increases in the frequency of landfalling hurricanes. Analysis of our results shows that increases in the frequency of category-4 storms are the main driver of the changes. Our best estimate results, based on a multimodel ensemble, give modest increases in damage, but within the ensemble there are individual scenarios that give much larger increases in damage.& The inputs on which our study depends are highly uncertain, and our methods are approximate, leading to high levels of uncertainty in our results. Also, the damage changes we consider are only part of the total possible change in hurricane damage due to climate change.

A review of& climate change-induced flood impacts and adaptation of coastal infrastructure systems in the United States, Shrestha et al.,& Environmental Research: Infrastructure and Sustainability:

Over the last decade of scientific contributions, there has been a distinct shift in focus from understanding and quantifying coastal flood risks towards adapting coastal infrastructure systems. The majority of the studies are based in the Mid-Atlantic, Southeast and Gulf, while national scale studies are very limited. Although critical to resilient coastal infrastructure systems, the consideration of interdependencies or studies expanding across multiple infrastructure systems are limited. Out of the forward-looking studies that consider future climate scenarios, 39% considered only long-term (year 2100) scenarios, while 27% considered all short-, medium- and long-term scenarios. Considering finite resources and finite infrastructure life span, the ultimate focus on the end of the century climate scenarios extending beyond most of the existing infrastructure's design life is a challenge to adaptation planning.

The effect of& climate change& on crop yield anomaly in Europe, Schmidt & Felsche,& Climate& Resilience and Sustainability:

Our study shows a nonlinear relationship between Europe's most important climate indicators related to temperature and soil moisture and crop yields for wheat, maize, and barley. The finding confirms previous studies from the United States and Denmark: Troy et& al. (2015) and Schlenker et& al. (2009) describe the nonlinear and threshold-type relationships between precipitation- and temperature-related climate indicators and crop yields for the United States. In addition, Kristensen et& al. (2011) found a nonlinear relationship between mean winter temperature and wheat yields in Denmark. Not only do threshold values for temperature and precipitation lead to a sharp decrease or increase in crop yields, but also for soil moisture.

Retrieving Cloud Sensitivity to& Aerosol& Using Ship Emissions in Overcast Conditions, Ribeiro et al.,& Geophysical Research Letters:

Here we investigate the interactions between aerosols and clouds and their impact on climate change. Ship tracks were used to study these interactions, and aerosol emissions from ships were modeled. It was shown that the increase in cloud droplets from ship aerosol was highly sensitive to the speed of the updraft in the clouds. A method was developed to fit the updraft to the observed cloud enhancements; the resultant updrafts were smaller than current estimates, suggesting that the clouds may be less sensitive to aerosols than previously thought.

A phased workflow to define permit-ready locations for large volume& CO2& injection and storage, Trevino et al.,& Greenhouse Gases: Science and Technology:

Our case study indicates that to complete preparation of a permit application requires (1) improved lithologic characterization information (thicknesses and horizontal and vertical connectivity) and (2) better definition of poorly defined local faults.&

A 37-year record of& ocean acidification& in the Southern California current, Wolfe et al.,& Communications Earth & Environment:

The California Cooperative Oceanic Fisheries Investigations (CalCOFI) program has collected quarterly samples for seawater inorganic carbon since 1983. The longest time series is at CalCOFI line 90 station 90 from 1984&-present, with a gap from 2002 to 2008. Here we present the first analysis of this 37- year time series, the oldest in the Pacific. Station 90.90 exhibits an unambiguous acidification signal in agreement with the global surface ocean (decrease in pH of −0.0015 ± 0.0001 yr−1), with a distinct seasonal cycle driven by temperature and total dissolved inorganic carbon. This provides direct evidence that the unique carbon chemistry signature (compared to other long standing time series) results in a reduced uptake rate of carbon dioxide (CO2) due to proximity to a mid-latitude eastern boundary current upwelling zone.&

Rapid warming and degradation of mountain& permafrost& in Norway and Iceland, Etzelmüller et al.,& The& Cryosphere:

We document that permafrost in Norway and Iceland is warming at a high rate, including the development of taliks in both Norway and Iceland in response to global climate change during the last 20& years. At most sites, ground surface temperature (GST) is apparently increasing more strongly than surface air temperature (SAT). Changing snow conditions appear to be the most important factor for the higher GST rates.
