Fiona Fix shows in her new paper, based on CMIP6 model results, that this problem is dominated by natural variability. ENSO frequencies may change somewhat during this century, but these changes are not related to anthropogenic warming.

Halocarbons contribute approximately 20% of the total anthropogenic instantaneous clear-sky forcing. We have implemented a new absorption model for them, based on HITRAN cross-section data, and use it to calculate forcing estimates.

The Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft will provide the necessary funding for a continuation of the project “MW-Luna”, which started in September 2019. It takes advantage of occasional observations of the Moon with satellites exploring the atmosphere with microwaves. Such events are perfectly suited for checking the fidelity...
