Description
The fundamental physical principles underpinning the climate crisis caused by industrial emissions of carbon dioxide were developed over the past century or more by some of the greatest minds of physics, and have withstood all challenges. I will explain these basic physical principles, and also give a survey about how the same principles account for the behaviour of the Solar System planets and are being used to explore the climates of the thousands of new planets that have been discovered orbiting stars other than our own.
