Climate models miss dangerous feedback loops, accelerating warming

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Climate models used by the UN and other major bodies have a significant blind spot, failing to fully account for feedback loops that accelerate warming. These overlooked effects, such as emissions from thawing permafrost and intensifying wildfires, could increase global temperatures by an additional 0.2°C to 0.4°C this century. This omission means the world may be closer to breaching critical warming thresholds like 1.5°C and 2°C than previously estimated, necessitating an urgent update to climate models and more aggressive emissions reduction targets.

    Our climate models have a big, dangerous blind spot

    Climate change itself is increasingly fueling climate change. Rising concentrations of greenhouse gases are driving up global temperatures, setting off dangerous feedback loops that we have not fully accounted for in our climate models—or our emissions-reduction goals. Scientists…
