North AmericaTexten är också en påminnelse om att även om det vi ser nu är ohyggligt och förödande för dom drabbade så har vi ännu inte sett följderna, såsom "loss of ecosystem integrity", "social system disruption", "public health impacts" och "water quality impairment".
Key risk
Wildfire-induced loss of ecosystem integrity, property loss, human morbidity, and mortality as a result of increased drying trend and temperature trend (high confidence).
Urban floods in riverine and coastal areas, inducing property and infrastructure damage; supply chain, ecosystem, and social system disruption; public health impacts; and water quality impairment, due to sea level rise, extreme precipitation, and cyclones (high confidence)
Men kom ihåg: Sed Perseverare Diabolicum så låt oss ta en god titt på alla andra studier baserade på era klimatmodeller:Scientists behind a major study that claimed the Earth’s oceans are warming faster than previously thought now say their work contained inadvertent errors that made their conclusions seem more certain than they actually are.https://www.washingtonpost.com/energy-environment/2018/11/14/scientists-acknowledge-key-errors-study-how-fast-oceans-are-warming/?utm_term=.4f484ec2d045
Two weeks after the high-profile study was published in the journal Nature, its authors have submitted corrections to the publication. The Scripps Institution of Oceanography, home to several of the researchers involved, also noted the problems in the scientists' work and corrected a news release on its website, which previously had asserted that the study detailed how the Earth’s oceans “have absorbed 60 percent more heat than previously thought.”
“Unfortunately, we made mistakes here,” said Ralph Keeling, a climate scientist at Scripps, who was a co-author of the study. “I think the main lesson is that you work as fast as you can to fix mistakes when you find them.”

The original study, which appeared Oct. 31, derived a new method for measuring how much heat is being absorbed by the oceans. Essentially, the authors measured the volume of gases, specifically oxygen and carbon dioxide, that have escaped the ocean in recent decades and headed into the atmosphere as it heats up. They found that the warming “is at the high end of previous estimates” and suggested that as a result, the rate of global warming itself could be more accelerated.I korthet:
The results, wrote the authors, may suggest there is less time than previously thought to curb greenhouse gas emissions. The study drew considerable media attention, including from The Post.
However, not long after publication, an independent Britain-based researcher named Nicholas Lewis published a lengthy blog post saying he had found a “major problem” with the research.
“So far as I can see, their method vastly underestimates the uncertainty,” Lewis said in an interview Tuesday, “as well as biasing up significantly, nearly 30 percent, the central estimate.”
Note from co-author Ralph Keeling Nov. 9, 2018: I am working with my co-authors to address two problems that came to our attention since publication. These problems, related to incorrectly treating systematic errors in the O2 measurements and the use of a constant land O2:C exchange ratio of 1.1, do not invalidate the study’s methodology or the new insights into ocean biogeochemistry on which it is based. We expect the combined effect of these two corrections to have a small impact on our calculations of overall heat uptake, but with larger margins of error. We are redoing the calculations and preparing author corrections for submission to Nature.En viktig lärdom att dra av detta

In the passing age, experts were lionized. They issued a decree, the rest of us obeyed.
But now the experts can be more effectively questioned.
A recent published paper claimed (for instance) that the ocean was warming much faster than previously thought.
But a critic spotted a math error on the first page of the report. The findings were posted on a blog. The scientists accepted the criticism and updated the paper.
First, note that an outside observer was able to quickly spot the problem, then able to bring it to the world's attention.
In the new age, experts no longer have a monopoly on communication. Thus they no longer have a monopoly on thinking.
Note also that the scientists quickly and properly reacted by correcting the paper.
An age when nonexperts are able to monitor and correct experts is an age when the experts will be more accurate, and thus effective.
