Abstract
Extreme weather profoundly impacts life on Earth. Severe droughts provoke wildfires which devastate biodiversity, erode carbon stocks, and deteriorate air quality, damaging public health. The so-called domino effects of extreme weather on land ecosystems are increasingly being recognized at scientific and political levels. In the ocean, however, the impacts of extreme weather are largely unknown. Ecological theory and preliminary observations suggest that effects can be substantial, raising fundamental questions about how coastal ecosystems- the ocean’s most productive and biodiverse habitats- are affected by extreme weather. In this talk, I will discuss how new observation technologies and multidisciplinary cooperation are required to obtain a systems-level understanding of coastal ecosystems as we face increased risk of extreme weather due to climate change.
About Karl Attard
Dr Karl Attard is Assistant Professor in Marine Sciences at the Department of Biology at SDU. Karl received his Ph.D. from SDU in collaboration with the Greenland Climate Research Centre and performed Postdoctoral training at the University of Helsinki. His research interests include metabolic processes of photosynthesis and respiration, biogeochemical cycles of climate-relevant gases such as CO2, macroecology, Polar ecosystems, and ecosystem impacts of climate change and extreme weather. A key part of his research focuses on using new sensor technologies to understand how ecosystems function. Karl has participated in over 30 international expeditions that include the Arctic, the Antarctic, and remote islands in the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans.

1) By reflecting away 30% of ISR the albedo, which would not exist w/o the atmosphere/GHGs, makes the earth cooler than it would be without that atmosphere like that reflective panel set behind the windshield. Remove the atmosphere/GHGs and the earth would become much like the Moon and Mercury, a barren rock with a 0.1 albedo, 20% more kJ/h, hot^3 on the lit side, cold^3 on the dark. Nikolov, Kramm (U of AK) and UCLA Diviner mission all tacitly agree.
2) the GHG up/down welling, “trapping”/”back” radiating/delaying/intercepting, 100 % efficient, perpetual warming loop requires "extra" energy which according to RGHE theory comes from
3) the terrestrial surface radiating that "extra" energy as a LWIR ideal black body which
4) cannot happen because of the non-radiative heat transfer processes of the contiguous atmospheric molecules and as demonstrated by experiment, the gold standard of classical science:

1+2+3+4 = 0 Greenhouse Effect + 0 Greenhouse gas warming + 0 man caused climate change.
