Abrupt climate change

Paul Beckwith is presently in Lima at the IPCC climate talks.

Here he repeats his conclusion that a global temperature increase if 5-6C within a decade or two is possible.

This has been quoted by Guy McPherson in the past with people claiming that Paul never claimed this at all. 

Well, here’s their answer! He’s saying it, quite emphatically.

Paul Beckwith’s update on abrupt climate change

Many paleorecords record global temperature rises of 5 to 6 degrees Celsius in a decade or two, and I give some examples. 

Can this happen now, in the next few decades? 

I think that it can, and explain what some of the strong feedback mechanisms are. I also discuss some recent worrying occurrences such as enormous North Pacific Ocean warmth and a cool blob in the North Atlantic Ocean cutting of the Gulf Stream Ocean current from reaching Europe. 

Also,I yet again explain why Antarctic sea ice is increasing 1.5% per decade in this climate system framework. 

Strange times indeed
