@MichaelEMann @rahmstorf @PIK_climate Interesting:
"The extra energy trapped in the system seems to be the result of the planet reflecting less sunlight back to space. [..] the bigger concern is that reflective, low-lying clouds may be going missing.

The energy imbalance “suggests that the models may also be under-predicting future warming,” said #PhilDuffy, chief scientist of #SparkClimateSolutions, a nonprofit that identifies and helps limit #climate risks."

Also interesting: I underestimated the part with the water expansion by heat

Scientists and politicians are different in many ways of course. For instance, scientists are philosophically opposed to having 100% confidence in anything, whereas many politicians proclaim 100% confidence in their policies. Politicians say they get their authority from voters. Scientists say they get their authority from evidence and logic.
