Prof. dr hab. Szymon Malinowski (Faculty of Physics, University of Warsaw)Not only greenhouse gases. Why the Earth is already 1.5 C warmer than at the end of XIX century?
The last two years have been breaking all climate records. In the background there is a rapid growth of energy imbalance of our planet documented despite only moderate increases in anthropocentric greenhouse gas emissions. To what extent is it a surprise? Why understanding clouds and aerosols is a top priority of climate science now?
In the presentation I will cover these recent breathtaking developments from the perspective of basic physics.
