Paleoclimatologist Warns of Millennia-Long Climate Impacts Beyond 2100

Paleoclimatologist Eelco Rohling warns of catastrophic long-term climate impacts, emphasizing that even immediate emission cessation won't prevent millennia-long changes, including significant sea level rise, exceeding current IPCC projections.

How does Rohling's research on ocean warming and thermohaline circulation explain the inertia of the climate system and its response to emission reductions?

Rohling's work connects past climate data to future projections, highlighting the inertia of the climate system. He uses the analogy of a freight train to explain slow responses to emission changes, emphasizing that deep-sea warming, driven by thermohaline circulation, will prolong warming for centuries. This contrasts with IPCC models that haven't fully incorporated these long-term effects.

How does the late arrival of La Niña, potentially influenced by ocean warming, affect the understanding and predictability of ENSO events?

The weaker-than-expected La Niña event follows a three-year El Niño, its opposite phase. The delayed onset, possibly influenced by ocean warming, contrasts with earlier forecasts of a more intense La Niña. This variation highlights the complexity of predicting these climate patterns.

What is the state of glaciers and sea ice in 2023?

Glaciers experienced their most significant retreat in 2023, with Switzerland losing about 10% of glacial volume in 2021/2022 and 2022/2023. Sea ice extent was also exceptionally low in the Antarctic and the Arctic, reflecting the overall warming trend.

What are the potential long-term consequences of these methane emissions, beyond atmospheric warming?

This discovery highlights the significant and previously unknown contribution of Antarctic methane emissions to climate change. Further research is crucial to determine the rate of methane release into the atmosphere and the potential for massive submarine landslides, which could trigger tsunamis. The findings underscore the urgent need for climate action and highlight potential cascading climate impacts.
