He "discovered" this? This has been my understanding of how this all worked for years, unless there's some subtlety I'm missing here.

- akeck 4y agoI don't think he discovered the conclusion per se. I think he discovered an analytical path to an already known/suspected conclusion via a novel application of cosmology math to planetary climate.
- labster 4y agoIt’s been common knowledge in atmospheric science for the past 20 years (based on personal knowledge, it’s probably decades longer). Not only does it shake out of climate models, but it’s intuitive that more heat to redistribute will increase the amplitude of all the wave-like properties of the atmosphere.
- formerkrogemp 4y agoLet's not downplay the astronomical math involved and the contribution made by Albert here! Just because we "know" the solution doesn't mean it's not worth valuing putting in the work to prove the conclusion. Thanks Albert!
