Event details

ESR President Jeff Foley spoke at ESR’s webinar on 26th June 2024, providing an update of his work on climate change modelling.

This presentation is titled: "Anthropogenic global warming - Part 2: The processes"

 

About the climate model

He developed his own global warming model in 2016, and presented it to ESR in 2017.  Jeff has been been updating and improving his modelling work over recent years – splitting the model into three: greenhouse heating, ocean warming, and polar ice melt.

In this presentation he focuses on the process of greenhouse heating (ocean warming and polar ice melt will be the focus of a future presentation). Jeff outlines the sound engineering principles behind his model.
