One thing most people don’t get about climate change

I first came across climate change at university in the late 1990’s, doing basic calculations of energy transfers across multiple levels in the atmosphere. Even at that basic level, how increasing greenhouse gas levels in the atmosphere can trap more heat in the Earth’s climate system became very clear, at the same time that it also became apparent just how complicated the Earth’s climate and climate change is. There are an awful lot of processes happening around the world, interacting with each other all of the time on all sorts of scales.
