Role of Thermodynamic and Dynamic Effects in Weather Extremes within our Climate System: Review



A few weeks ago Stefan Rahmstorf who heads the very famous “Potsdam Institute for Climate Impacts” co-authored a letter of weather extremes:

The main point is that extreme weather is greatly increasing in our climate system and is due to both thermodynamic effects AND dynamic effects.

I chat about the paper not because it is Earth – shattering and new, but because it is a succinct review of how our climate system has destabilized, and why the weather extremes are worsening at ever accelerating rates.

Please donate to to support my research and videos as I join the dots on abrupt climate system mayhem.

  2. Thank you for the teaching. Had no idea before that there were 3 types of atmospheric cells. Hadley, Ferrel and Arctic. In a way our planet is alive and will be seen to behave in different ways as we move into a new atmosphere with so many greenhouse gasses. A narrowing of habitable zone for humans. There will be many types of death valley's from heat to moisture, from extreme storms to places that will not grow crops. Again Mans past will be washed away by sea water.

  3. N Hemisphere land areas are not warming evenly. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that the regions which are burning more coal and therefore have higher SO2 levels, are not warming as much in summer. High SO2 eastern US is hitting very few summer records while the west is setting 7X the number of records. Moderate SO2 locals such as Omaha NE and Dallas TX are setting a moderate number of summer records. All of this is easily verified.

  4. You should look at the paper by Edward Wolf on hurricane power vs ocean temperature (Edward Wolf. Precise Prediction of Hurricane Power vs Ocean Temperature. International Journal of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences.

    Vol. 5, No. 1, 2021, pp. 1-5. doi: 10.11648/j.ijaos.20210501.11) . With the warm ocean temperatures around Florida, the major city of Florida is playing Russian roulette with hurricane season. It is just a matter of time before a major city in Florida is hit with a Cat5 hurricane like Acapulco was.

  5. Donated – not much, but it's pay week,, and I did what I could. Thank you for doing videos giving overviews of the current research on this. They give me hope: I'd thought there was less research going on than, apparently, there actually is. We need more people doing what you're doing, and making research more accessible to those not in research, or in other fields. Love the comfy clutter and view in your office, and the pet cameos, too. Makes it feel like we're neighbors stopping over for a fun chat.

  6. Wow you are on fire with videos lately!!! Thanks for all your work, these videos allow me to work on projects while getting climate news and information about how the world will end soon 😀

  7. As a professional engineer you owe your knowledge, your ethics, and your oath to speak out against the wrong AGW narrative!

  8. The paper or letter clearly demonstrates that the authors don’t have any clue about the dynamics of a thermodynamic system, such as the one on earth! The earth’s climate system is a closed thermodynamic system, involves the heat transfers and conversions within a closed mass system, in thermal equilibrium with its surroundings( ie the outer space as heat sink and solar radiation as heat source. Earth is not a thermal static system, such as the greenhouse model hypothesized by the mainstream “climate scientists”. We all know hurricanes are powerful and can do a lot damages. They are true heat engines from thermodynamics point of view, that convert thermal energy into kinetic energy! The heat engines are a dominant force in regulate earth’s temperature!

  9. If thermodynamic factors mean that hurricanes, cyclone or typhoons all convert ocean heat energy into kinetic wind energy to move masses of air, does this mean that they leave a cooler ocean behind them?

    HowStuffWorks explains that a typical mature hurricane, expends energy in the range of 1.5 x 10^12 Watts or 1.3 x 10^17 Joules/day (according to the Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory.)

    How much of a significant dent is each such event in reducing ocean heat energy ?

  10. Without any significant actions, the combination of Total Greenhouse Gas Cumulation, Ocean Heat Content, & Earth Energy Imbalance, all these represent a compounded self-reinforcing feedback mechanism which can only go in one direction ?

  11. Dude, you have no idea what you are talking about. Someone you follow on Twitter uses fancy language like "Navier-Stokes equations" and your eyes gloss over. Those equations model the behavior of Newtonian fluids. The atmosphere is not a Newtonian fluid. They can be used to model local weather patters with marginal success, but they break down regionally and between significant temperature differences. "It's physics." Give me a break. He is only saying that to try to silence people like you who are in childlike awe of the "expert."

    I pity you.

  12. Thermodynamics doesn't just mean "things get hotter." It means how other forms of energy respond to changes in heat in a given system. If systems change as things get colder, that is also thermodynamics. Systems do appear to be changing; but you are assuming it is as a result of increases in heat when there have been none for over twenty years. Are you willing to consider the idea that the world is actually getting colder, and that is what is driving changes in weather patterns? Or have you come to a pre-determined conclusion?

  13. In the text at 23:55 "Even once global warming is stopped, we will see unprecedented extremes for a long time to come…. Thus, it will take many decades until we have see all the possible extreme events a 1.5C warmer world has in store for us." So… it's not really all bad news. We have things to look forward to! Heh… always lookin' on the bright side. I guess. 😵‍💫
