CICERO scientists have now developed a new method to reduce fluctuations in calculating the rate of global warming
In a recent study published in Nature Communications, international scientists have taken on a persistent problem in climate science: near-term climate evolution.
"Common wisdom is that it may take up to 20 years before we can detect with certainty that a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions is also successfully reducing the rate of global warming. Our new method cuts this time in half, promising a faster response time for policymakers working on crucial mitigation efforts. At the same time, we can reveal that global warming still is on a steady course, with no acceleration or slowdown”, says senior researcher Bjørn Hallvard Samset at CICERO Center for International Climate Research.
