Garth Rowswell wins UCP nomination in Vermilion-Lloydminster-Wainwright, Spruce Grove-Stony Plain vote set for Friday
Garth Rowswell defeated Ben Acquaye, engineer Darrel Howell, past Battle River-Wainwright Progressive Conservative candidate Blake Prior, former mayor of Marwayne Jenelle Saskiw, and Eileen Taylor (who is married to the current MLA for Battle River-Wainwright) to secure the United Conservative Party candidacy in the new Vermilion-Lloydminster-Wainwright district.
Garth Rowswell
Rowswell is a Lloydminster-based financial advisor with Edward Jones. He previously served as the secretary of the local UCP association and as campaign manager for Vermilion-Lloydminster Wildrose Party candidate Danny Hozack in the 2015 election.
Two-time Wildrose candidate Hozack was seeking the UCP nomination in this new district, but was deemed ineligible to run by the UCP. A letter to Hozack from UCP executive director Janice Harrington stated "a background review of your social media accounts and other online statements has been completed and upon review of this research, the Nominations Committee has deemed you ineligible."
"…there was a significant number of posts and statements that you have made or shared that would harm the reputation of the UCP and cause great offence to a large number of Albertans if they were made public by our opponents," wrote Harrington, who then listed examples of the offending material, which she states included a post that shares a request to "Save Europe, the West, the World from Islam" and the republishing of statements and writings of conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.
Incumbents from both districts, UCP MLA Wes Taylor and lone-Progressive Conservative Richard Starke, have announced their plans to not seek re-election in 2019.
Searle Turton
UCP members in Spruce Grove-Stony Plain will select a candidate on November 30, 2018. CLAC representative Mathew Clark, Jerry Semen, and Spruce Grove City Councillor Searle Turton are seeking the UCP nomination in this district. Semen has been endorsed by UCP MLA Tany Yao, Conservative Member of Parliament Garnett Genuis and former Wildrose Party leader Brian Jean.
Members of the New Democratic Party have nominated MLA David Eggen in Edmonton-North West and MLA Richard Feehan in Edmonton-Rutherford.
Here are a few of the latest updates to the list of candidates nominated and seeking nomination to run in Alberta's next provincial election:

Alberta Candidate Nomination Updates: 2 NDP cabinet ministers announce re-election and 3 more UCP MLAs plan to retire.

Nominations are picking up speed.
Three more United Conservative Party MLAs have announced their plans to retire when the next election is called. Grande Prairie-Wapiti MLA Wayne Drysdale, Livingstone-Macleod MLA Pat Stier and Little Bow MLA David Schneider will not seek re-election in 2019.
Schneider changed his minds after previously announcing plans to seek re-election in the new Cardston-Siksika district. His entry into that contest forced Cardston-Taber-Warner MLA Grant Hunter to seek the UCP nomination in the neighbouring Taber-Warner district, even though he lives in Cardston. It is not yet known whether Hunter will now run for the UCP nomination in what will soon be his home district of Cardston-Siksika.
Environment and Parks Minister Shannon Phillips has filed her intentions with Elections Alberta to run for the New Democratic Party nomination in Lethbridge-West. Phillips was first elected as MLA in 2015 with 59 percent of the vote.
Also running for re-election is Agriculture and Forestry Minister Oneil Carlier, who told XM105FM that he will seek the NDP nomination in the newly redrawn Lac Ste. Anne-Parkland district. Carlier currently represents the Whitecourt-Ste. Anne district, which will no longer exist when the next election is called.
Independent MLA Derek Fildebrandt is agitating in Chestermere-Strathmore. After being banned from rejoining the UCP caucus in February 2, 2018 after a string of embarrassing scandals, Fildebrandt has essentially accused his former party of being afraid of an open nomination contest in the new district. The theatrical former finance critic accused the UCP of "Trudeau-style affirmative action" for not allowing him to run against popular Chestermere-Rockyview UCP MLA Leela Aheer.
As first reported on this blog on April 7, 2018, Wood Buffalo municipal councillor Jane Stroud will seek the NDP nomination in the upcoming Fort McMurray-Conklin by-election. The UCP have set May 1, 2018 as the date for their candidate nomination vote.
In Innisfail-Sylvan Lake, candidate Joel Loh was not allowed to join the UCP nomination contest and has since endorsed Red Deer County councillor Christine Moore. UCP members in that district will select a candidate in a vote at the end of the month.
Here are some of the other nomination updates from around the province:
Calgary-Acadia – Lawyer Tyler Shandro is seeking the UCP nomination. Astute followers of Alberta politics might recall Shandro's role in the EdStelmach.ca incident. Good luck and govern yourself accordingly, Tyler.

Genius was the 2012 Wildrose Party candidate in Sherwood Park.
Vermilion-Lloydminster-Wainwright – Two-time Wildrose Party candidate Danny Hozack is seeking the UCP nomination. Hozack earned 37 percent of the vote in 2012 and 33 percent of the vote in 2015. He is seeking the nomination against Garth Rowswell, his campaign manager from the 2015 election.

Terre Haute South Vigo High School is a public high school located in Terre Haute, Indiana. As the name implies, the school's district covers the southern portion of Terre Haute, as well as most of southern Vigo County, the county in which Terre Haute is located.
It was first constructed in 1971 along with Terre Haute North Vigo High School. It is located near the northern edge of Honey Creek Township at 7th and Davis streets. Most of the school is one story. It contains Terre Haute's only planetarium, the Allen Memorial Planetarium.
Terre Haute South Vigo High is a consolidation of Terre Haute William H. Wiley High School (1912-1971) and Honey Creek High School (1926-1971). Honey Creek was involved in earlier consolidations as Blackhawk High (1919–71), Pimento High (1919–61), Prairie Creek High (1917–61), Prairieton High (1924–27) were consolidated into Honey Creek. Wiley itself was the second high school in Terre Haute, opening in 1912. After its founding, North added students from Terre Haute State High (a 'laboratory school' for Indiana State University) in 1978. The 'lab school' continued to educate elementary students through 1992.
44.3% of the students were eligible for free or reduced lunch. For 2014-2015, this was a Title I school.
THS has won a state championship in girls tennis (2001) and in girls basketball (2002).

In traditional schools, there's a correct answer to every question – you only need to tick the right box. But what if there are several valid answers?
Our approach encourages our students to build the skills and learning habits to become independent thinkers – preparing them for life way beyond school.
Throughout our school, we use our Learning Wheel to structure our approach to each subject.
The Key Stage 3 curriculum is designed to give a firm grounding in all the areas of understanding: language and communication, mathematical understanding, scientific understanding, the humanities, the creative and performing arts and physical education.
IT and computing is offered as a taught subject within dedicated lessons in Year 7 only. After this, IT skills are taught elsewhere through curriculum subjects.
French and Spanish are taught as core subjects in Year 7 and Year 8. In Year 9, students can drop one language and take up another - German, Russian and Mandarin. Students also take a critical thinking course, focusing on learning skills and language learning.
In Year 8, students take a Global Outlook course which focuses on different cultural traditions and influences across the world. Problem-solving and visual/spacial thinking skills are taught as part of the Design curriculum in Year 8 also.
Year 9 students opt for a selection of modules in the Creative Arts and Technology. Each module - Art, Design, Drama and Music - runs for half a year and students take a module from each subject. Critical thinking modules, focusing on research skills and collaboration, are delivered to Year 9 in discrete weekly lessons. The PSHE and Citizenship curriculum is delivered through day and half-day events.
Teaching for the IGCSE syllabus in Biology, Chemistry and Physics starts in Year 9. Courses in core subjects broadly follow the National Curriculum, departing from it where appropriate to provide the stretch and challenge appropriate for our students.
Our curriculum for Years 10 and 11 provides the best possible platform for study at a higher level, prior to university entrance, and gives our students an enriched and stimulating learning experience.
English Language and English Literature are both studied to IGCSE and students must choose one foreign language from French, German, Russian and Spanish. They can also choose French, Mandarin Chinese or Spanish as a second Modern Foreign Language. Latin can also be an additional subject. Students are able to take an ab initio course in Ancient Greek, leading to a GCSE in two years, as an optional subject.
All students will take GCSE Mathematics as well as Biology, Chemistry and Physics . We offer a choice between Triple Science, leading to a full IGCSE in Biology and Chemistry and a full IGCSE in Physics or Co-Ordinated Science, leading to two IGCSEs covering reduced content across all three sciences.
Courses in Geography, History and Religious Studies are all offered in the options. Students are advised to take at least one Humanities subject amongst their option.
Art, 3D, Design, Drama and Music are also all optional subjects. Students are encouraged to include a creative or performing subject in their options if possible.
All students take a triple lesson per week of Physical Education and Well-being. A GCSE short course is also available as an option, taught off timetable in Year 10. A short course is worth half a full GCSE.
Consists of English Language, English Literature, Mathematics, one Modern Foreign Language, either Triple Science or Co-ordinated Science.
Students will take a maximum of 10 subjects (or 10.5 if the GCSE Short Course in PE is taken). If a student takes Triple Science, they should choose three options and a student taking Co-ordinated Science should choose four options.
Some of our courses are International GCSE (IGCSE) courses and others are GCSE courses. The choice of which course to follow is taken on a case-by-case basis and changes to specificatins are kept under constant review. IGCSEs have equivalent value to GCSEs for university entrance purposes.

What is it about sim games that captivate people? How can something that seems so mundane (like doing chores and baling hay) grab our attention and pull us in for hours on end? Let's be realistic, most of us wouldn't do these things in our real lives unless there were no other options.
I'm typically not a sim gamer. Sure, I've had fun with games like Animal Crossing and Harvest Moon, but they bring a specific art style and play mechanic to the table. They're cute, silly, and very care free. I'm normally the guy who is into fast-paced First-Person Shooters, or story-heavy RPG's. I'd rather shoot first, ask later, then shoot again in Ghost Recon: Wildlands, or venture deep into irradiated wastelands mini-nuking super mutants in Fallout 4.
That weekend, we ended up at my parents' house for a family get-together. You know the type, lots of food, all the siblings and our respective children, and for our family, nerding out to games. While I was there, my little brother introduced me to his newest obsession: Farming Simulator 2017. I shook my head and laughed a bit, yet there I was, staring at a screen full of highly detailed terrain and looking at one of the most amazingly rendered sunsets I've ever seen in a game. It was stunning to see!
I sat there with him as he plowed fields, planted seed, and harvested crops. He had a full-blown forestry division, a herd of cattle, and fields of various produce ranging from wheat and barley to potatoes and sugar beets. And don't even get me started on the pigs! I love pigs! Pigs bring bacon! No bullets were flying, no secrets were being unlocked. He was simply doing chore…and loving it!
My brother pestered me for a few months to get the game. I avoided it for quite a while until it popped up on an Xbox Live Gold deal with all the downloadable content included. I had just purchased South Park: The Fractured But Whole and was positive that would be my go-to game for quite a while. Well, a combination of South Park being the most non-kid-friendly game I've ever seen and the super-cheap sale on FS17 changed that. I don't get much game time where my little ones aren't around me in some form, so I gave FS17 a go.
What I was greeted with was a spectacular experience. I was plopped straight onto my own farm, with some basic equipment and a few small fields. It was quiet, no music, the sound of a slight breeze and feeling of an early morning in a rural area. You could almost smell the cool, crisp morning air! The tutorial was minimal, and it felt more like a few friendly hints as I set off on my cultivating experience.
The more I played, the more it sucked me in. I've always been a fan of farm machinery and heavy equipment. In my daily life, I drive a tractor-trailer. Think of me as a glorified UPS guy with a much bigger truck. Yet, here I was with crops to tend and all these large machines at my control. And you know what? It's incredibly relaxing. I'm not hurried to find points of interest, I'm not getting shot at, and I'm not being pressured by a time crunch. I can sit back, tend to some chores, and explore.
Now, this game isn't going to win any awards for being the most advanced driving sim ever. The controls can be a bit clunky with the Xbox One controller, and the physics can lead to some interesting glitches at times. But the first time you see your harvester on a fog covered field, tearing through some soy beans or wheat, you forget all about the little things.
And that's what this game is about. It's about forgetting the world outside and simply existing in a quiet backwoods town. It's about the smell of the country air, cow dung included. It's about the simple life. Oh, and BIG ARSE TRACTORS!
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some sheep that need my attention and some grain to get to the mill.

Data sources, modeling methods, and how we track trends over time.
Estimates of exposures to PM2.5, ozone, and household air pollution on this website come from the Global Burden of Disease (GBD) project of the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME). Find more details on our methodology in the State of Global Air report.
How We Estimate PM2.5 Exposure
Fine-particle outdoor air pollution (PM2.5) consists of airborne particles measuring less than 2.5 micrometers in aerodynamic diameter, most often produced as a result of combustion. PM2.5 concentrations are measured in micrograms of particulate matter per cubic meter of air, or μg/m3.
To estimate concentrations of PM2.5, GBD scientists combine data from:
10,408 air quality monitors representing urban and rural data in 116 countries,
Satellite observations, and
Global chemical transport models that use data on emissions, chemical reactions, and meteorological conditions to estimate the movement and concentration of pollutants.
To estimate PM2.5 exposures for people living in a specific area, scientists combine:
The number of people living within that area, and
The PM2.5 concentration to which they are exposed.
This method produces a population-weighted annual average concentration for a given country or region. Population-weighted annual average concentrations are better estimates of population exposures, because they give proportionately greater weight to the air pollution experienced where most people live.
How We Estimate Ozone Exposure
Ozone is formed in a chemical reaction between nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds in the presence of sunlight. Tropospheric ozone (at ground level) is a harmful pollutant created mostly by human activities. Stratospheric ozone (6–30 miles above Earth's surface) is a naturally occurring beneficial layer that protects us from UV radiation. Ozone concentrations are measured in parts per billion (ppb).
To estimate global concentrations of ozone in the air near ground level, GBD scientists statistically combine data from:
More than 8,800 air quality monitors, and
Nine global chemical transport models that use data on emissions, chemical reactions, and meteorological conditions to estimate the movement and concentration of pollutants at a fine geographic scale (1 kilometer by 1 kilometer).
Our assessment focuses on:
Measurements taken in the warm season in each country or region, defined as the six months with the highest average ozone levels, and
The highest (maximum) 8-hour daily ozone concentrations during that season. (This is the metric used to characterize exposure in the most recent epidemiological studies of ozone's health effects.)
To estimate ozone exposures for people living in a specific area, we combined:
The ozone concentration to which they are exposed.
This method evaluates human exposure to ozone in terms of the population-weighted average seasonal 8-hour daily maximum concentration for a given country or region. Population-weighted annual average concentrations are better estimates of population exposures, because they give proportionately greater weight to the air pollution experienced where most people live.
How We Estimate Household Air Pollution Exposure
Burning any type of fuel (coal, charcoal, wood, agricultural residue, dung, and liquid fuels such as kerosene) for any purpose (cooking, heating, or lighting) can potentially create household air pollution consisting of fine particulate matter (PM2.5), carbon monoxide, and other pollutants. The use of solid fuels for cooking is a major source of household air pollution, though it is not the only source. As a result, these analyses likely underestimate household air pollution in some places, especially in colder regions.
We report exposure to household air pollution as the proportion of each country's population living in households where cooking is done with solid fuels. However, for purposes of estimating health impacts, these proportions are ultimately translated into exposures to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) in the home.
To estimate exposure to household air pollution, we combine:
Information from the World Health Organization (WHO) and other surveys about cooking practices and fuel use in different countries,
Information on the age and sex demographics of the population in each country, and
Indoor and personal measurements of household air pollution–related PM2.5.
To make sure that the estimated exposure to PM2.5 for each location and year represents household exposures only, GBD scientists subtract the ambient PM2.5 exposure from the household exposure for each location at the time of measurement. In this way, the analysis provides independent estimates of exposures to household pollution and to ambient PM2.5.

The LMS reporting feature is made available to users based on their assigned Role. A list of standard and custom reports can be made available to managers and training admins who need to export user, transcript, and certification data from the system. To get started, click the Reports link in the left navigation menu of the Classic Home page, or the Reports icon on the Navigation page. If you do not see a Reports option, contact your Portal Administrator for assistance.
The Reports page provides access to report lists by folder. Standard LMS Reports, including any data mining reports Latitude built for you, are available in the Classic Reports menu. Custom reports built by your system administrators are found in the separate Reports Folders menu.
The Classic Reports menu provides a list of standard LatitudeLearning reports. Find information about the configuration and use of these reports here: Classic Report Descriptions, Criteria, Results .
To run a Classic Report, click a Folder Name and select the desired Report Name.
On the standard report page, apply Filter criteria as needed.
Select the report Delivery Method and Delivery Format.
If you selected Delivery Method: Web View, results will be displayed online. Otherwise, the results file will download to your device in the selected delivery format.
The Report Folders menu provides a list of custom folders and reports created by your portal administrator. Click a Folder Name to open the list of reports designed for your training organization and reporting needs.
To run a custom report, click the Report Name or the Launch icon.
Standard Filters are optional. Use the Add Condition button to apply standard filters that refine results data. To return all entries for a given filter, use the Remove Condition button to delete it from the list.
• Filter criteria will vary depending on the type of report being run. There are four report entities to choose from: Course, Certification, Course Summary, and Certification Summary. See in Appendix A: Standard Filters.
• Standard Filters do not allow multiple value selection. Users may only enter one value per filter when running the report.
• All standard filters are joined with an implied "AND" operator. Entering conflicting criteria will generate a report listing "No results found."
– For example, when running a Course report, applying the filters "Course is ExampleA" AND "Course is ExampleB" will generate a report with no results. However, running a report with filters "Organization In Hierarchy Division" and "Position is Teacher" will only return transcripts for users who meet both criteria. If you need more than one value, consider running the report more than once with different values or extract all values and use filters in Excel to fine-tune results.
Click Run to execute the report, or Cancel to return to Report List page. When a report is run, a message displays at top of page: Your report has been queued. You will receive an email when it has been processed and is ready.

Q: iframe flashes "white" on load I am using an iframe in my project and it seems that whenever it loads content on a opacity background - it flashes "white" for around 1 second before correctly appearing.
It seems that it fires loaded event before the jQuery script is ready. I have tried
style="visibility:hidden;" onload="this.style.visibility = 'visible';"

but doesn't work. Any other ideas to get rid of this ?

A: Try using:
style="display:none" onload="this.style.display = 'block';"

visibility:hidden doesn't actually "hide" the element as such - it still takes up the space it would if it were visible. display:none actually makes the element completely invisible, as if it doesn't exist.

A: If you have control over the framed page - Set your background color on that page to transparent. Most browsers are white by default

A: I had some difficulty with getting:
style="display:none" onload="this.style.display = 'block';"
to work in my situation on Chrome and Safari.
If these aren't working for you, try:
style="opacity: 0;" onload="this.style.opacity = 1;"

A: I had exactly this problem, and tried all the remedies on this page without success.  It was flashing on Chrome, not FireFox.
What worked for me was changing:
$("#iframe").prop('src', url);

to
$("#iframe").attr('href', url);

A: I found that inline styling the element works best.
<iframe style="background:black;"
   height="100%" width="100%" scrolling="no">
</iframe>

I needed to have this style change based on a user's dark mode preference, so I used parameterization with calculated CSS variables.
CSS
:root
{
   --is-dark-mode: 0;
   --background-color-hue: 0;
   --background-color-saturation: 0%;
   --background-color-lightness: calc((100 - (var(--is-dark-mode) * 100)) * 1%);
   --background-color: hsl(var(--background-color-hue),
       var(--background-color-saturation),
       var(--background-color-lightness));
}

HTML
<iframe style="background:var(--background-color);"
   height="100%" width="100%" scrolling="no">
</iframe>

Jake Jervis
By bcfc12345,
March 10, 2010 in Player Talent Scout

Keep Right On!
Team: Birmingham City
Height: 6ft 4in
Agent: Ian Taylor
Nationality: Engand
SM Rating: Not On Database
Jake Jervis is currently not on the database but should be by the end of the English Premiership this year. He is a tall striker and has only just signed a professional contract at the club. He has been at the club since he was 13, 5 years ago. He has been a great player in the academy and reserves and thats the reason he has been signed up to the first squad.
He made his debut against Everton at Goodinson Park on in January. He came on for Christian Benitez to play the last 11 minutes. Although he said the pace of the game was a bit to much for him he didnt look out of place one bit.
He has also been on the bench a number of times, The latest being at Pompey in the league last night where Blues won 2-1. Unfortunaly he didnt get a game which was a shame but im sure we will see more of him in future.
Re: Jake Jervis
When i posted this player on the forum, i thought 'Ive never seen him play, his a gamble' but guess what, he is brilliant. He has gone on loan to Hereford last week and he played his first game on Saturday (yestorday). And guess what . . . HE SCORED. He controlled the ball on the edge of the area and lobbed the keeper
. He came on at 70 minutes and a match reporter said he changed the game.
Starting his first game for Hereford last week where he scored on his debut with a nice Lob over the keeper. It was a classy goal, brilliant confidence and knew exatcly what to do with the ball.
But, now he has scored again. Its just gone half time at the game between Chesterfield V Hereford and so far Hereford are winning due to another goal for Jake Jervis which is now 2 goal in 2 games. This time it was a pen. SkySports said it was a good pen, good confidence from the young player and slotted it home.
You can buy him on Soccer Manager now due to him being a free agent. If i was you ill get him because the way he is playing he could be in Birminghams plans next season.

I was at the Everton match. I remember him coming on and asking someone who is he. He looked ok. But nice find.
Yes' date=' he came on for 11 minutes but did admit after the game that the pace of the game was a bit too much and said he will need to go on loan to a lower league club to be ready if Birmingham want him.[/font']
Birmingham City: Why Jake Jervis is not getting carried away despite dream season
IT'S been a dream season for Jake Jervis.
But the teenage striker refuses to get carried away.
Jervis made his senior debut for Blues as substitute in the Fa Cup victory over Everton in January.
Then he signed his first professional contract, securing his future for two-and-a-half years.
And last weekend he netted on his debut for Hereford United, just 24 hours after signing on a month's loan.
Jervis, 18, said he was 'made up' becoming a pro. "It's what you work for, for all those years to get to,'' he said. "It's a great feeling to know it's done and you've signed that first contract.
"The hard work does start now. I am not going to get carried away. I know this is just the start. In a way, the first contract is nice to have, but it's the second contract, to go on from there and get in the team."
Jervis came on for the Bulls in the 70th minute against Bradford City. In the 81st, he lobbed the 'keeper for his first goal in senior football.
He admitted the loan route could be the one he goes down again next season should Blues, as expected, sign high-profile forwards this summer.
"Obviously if I play as well as I have in recent months and keep making progress, even if we bring in two strikers, then hopefully I would still be considered,'' he said.
"If they say I'm down the pecking order then I'd go on loan for further experience. I had my appetite whetted at Everton, I want a lot more of it, definitely. But I've got to work hard, do my extras, more than everyone else. Just keep working hard every day."
This was a report on him in the Birmingham Mail
Guest JackWWFC
He just looks like another kid that has gone on loan to me. I'd love for him to prove me wrong but, from what I have seen, he looks pretty average.
Hope he does well though..

Typical Wolves fan, cant stand Birmingham having better players/youngsters. But mate, tables have turned now, you have to get used to Birmingham being better now .
Anyway back to the player. You say he has gone on loan to me? Dont understand . . must be a typo? And i do not belive you have seen him play mate. Your telling me your a Wolves fan and you went to Hereford V Chesterfield and Bradford V Hereford, im sorry but i doubt youve been to them games. So dont judge him by how you want him to be.

Patterns of R for three different time periods—from top to bottom, , , and —and two different models: (left) GFDL-CM3 and (right) CSIRO-Mk3.6.0. These two models were chosen because of their very different evolution of in K17. For each year indicated the pattern is constructed for the 10-yr period centered on that year, so that is constructed from reflected shortwave irradiances over the period between 1945 and 1955. The average of R equatorward of 55° for the globe and the Northern Hemisphere alone is indicated on the upper right of each figure panel, in units of W m−2.
Zonal anomaly in reflected clear-sky solar irradiance over the ocean from CERES. The anomaly is computed from the lowest vigintile at the absolute latitude. This quantity differs from R in that it includes the natural aerosol, which at high latitudes over the Pacific and at low latitudes over the Atlantic is dominated by mineral dust. The average of R equatorward of 55° for the globe and the Northern Hemisphere alone is indicated on the upper right of each figure panel, in units of W m−2. Original data were smoothed before contouring with two applications of a nine-point smoothing.
Effective aerosol radiative forcing, from ECHAM6.3 plotted by the globally averaged cloud-droplet population density enhancement factor based on the simple-plume aerosol climatology, MACv2-SP. is estimated from an ensemble of three 10-yr simulations for an indicated period and compared to an ensemble of six control runs. Thus for each of the four experiments 180 years of forcing estimates are available. Shown are the mean (filled circle), standard error (horizontal lines), standard deviation of yearly estimates (open circles), and the extremes of annual mean estimates in ERF (points). The four experiments compare the basic climatology, denoted SP, with the same forcing for 1975 (PAT) for which global emissions were about the same as at present. In addition sensitivity experiments are performed in which the background effect is greatly reduced (LBG), yielding a much stronger cloud radiative effect (LBG, and PAT-LBG); for these latter experiments the pattern of the forcing is discernible, but not large (see also Fiedler et al. 2017).

Kretzschmar et al., in a comment in 2017, use the spread in the output of aerosol–climate models to argue that the models refute the hypothesis (presented in a paper by Stevens in 2015) that for the mid-twentieth-century warming to be consistent with observations, then the present-day aerosol forcing, must be less negative than −1 W m−2. The main point of contention is the nature of the relationship between global SO2 emissions and In contrast to the concave (log-linear) relationship used by Stevens and in earlier studies, whereby becomes progressively less sensitive to SO2 emissions, some models suggest a convex relationship, which would imply a less negative lower bound. The model that best exemplifies this difference, and that is most clearly in conflict with the hypothesis of Stevens, does so because of an implausible aerosol response to the initial rise in anthropogenic aerosol precursor emissions in East and South Asia—already in 1975 this model's clear-sky reflectance from anthropogenic aerosol over the North Pacific exceeds present-day estimates of the clear-sky reflectance by the total aerosol. The authors perform experiments using a new (observationally constrained) climatology of anthropogenic aerosols to further show that the effects of changing patterns of aerosol and aerosol precursor emissions during the late twentieth century have, for the same global emissions, relatively little effect on These findings suggest that the behavior Kretzschmar et al. identify as being in conflict with the lower bound in Stevens arises from an implausible relationship between SO2 emissions and and thus provides little basis for revising this lower bound.

Stevens (2015, hereinafter S15) used three lines of reasoning to argue that present-day effective aerosol radiative forcing is very likely less negative than −1 W m−2. The most quantitative bound arose from the logic that if one wishes to maintain that some component of the warming in the first half of the twentieth century was anthropogenic in origin, then this bounds to have a smaller magnitude than other positive forcings over the same time period. By adopting a simple model that relates to aerosol-precursor emissions, it becomes possible to use this constraint to bound present-day forcing, given knowledge of the precursor and present-day emissions. The application of this approach to global forcing and global temperature yielded a lower bound on present-day of −1.3 W m−2, a finding corroborated by subsequent studies using different approaches (Rotstayn et al. 2015). Assuming that the arguments also hold on the hemispheric scale yielded the tighter lower bound of −1 W m−2. This less negative bound on aerosol radiative forcing was shown by S15 to be consistent both with the present understanding applied to very simple models (of the kind once used to argue for much more negative forcings) and with the absence of a strong aerosol signal in observations of the hemispheric contrast of clear-sky surface albedo over the ocean.
Motivated by the arguments of S15, Kretzschmar et al. (2017, hereafter K17) analyze simulations from climate models participating in phase 5 of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP5). By regressing global and hemispheric temperature trends against present-day they show that, consistent with the arguments of S15, most models (36 of 42 simulations analyzed by K17) underestimate the observed warming in the 30-yr period between 1920 and 1950, and that models with the most negative most underestimate the observed Northern Hemispheric warming between 1860 and 1950. Although generally producing less warming than has been observed, 30-yr temperature trends between 1920 and 1950 show a weaker relationship to , as is to be expected given the larger internal variability on shorter time scales. Nonetheless, K17 interpret their results as being inconsistent with the arguments of S15, opening the door to the idea of a more negative Their interpretation is based on two findings: 1) the tendency of CMIP5 models with less negative than −0.8 W m−2 to warm more in the Northern Hemisphere than is observed during the 1860–1950 period, and 2) the tendency for some models with more negative than −1 W m−2 to capture the observed first century of Northern Hemispheric warming. The latter, their analysis suggests, is a result of aerosol forcing being less efficient (as measured by the ratio of to the global emissions) in the first half of the century than in the second half. Disproportionate warming in a period where the atmosphere is more aerosol laden has long been precluded by the argument that a more pristine atmosphere is more susceptible to anthropogenic forcing from aerosol–cloud interactions (Boucher and Pham 2002; Carslaw et al. 2013). This staple of aerosol research is formally incorporated in S15's model, which constructs from two terms: one that is linear in emissions, consistent with understanding of aerosol–radiation interactions (whose forcing we denote by ), and the other logarithmic in emissions, consistent with understanding of aerosol–cloud interactions, whose forcing is denoted as
The idea (arising from K17's first finding) that greater than observed Northern Hemispheric warming arising with an less negative than the S15 lower bound somehow implies that the forcing must be more negative is incorrect. As long as the net forcing over some time interval is positive, it is not possible to separate the response to forcing (i.e., the model sensitivity) from the forcing over that interval. Indeed S15's central argument was never that correlates with the temperature response; rather, that the presumption that some portion of an observed temperature trend is forced implies that the forcing shares the same sign as the trend, thereby constraining the forcing.
S15's arguments thus really only apply to models with robustly less than −1 W m−2, of which (based on K17's analysis) there are three: GFDL-CM3, HadGEM2-A, and CSIRO-Mk3.6.0. Two of these models, GFDL-CM-3 and HadGEM2-A, have ensemble mean 1860–1950 warming in the Northern Hemisphere less than observed, consistent with S15. The third model, CSIRO-Mk3.6.0, appears to robustly contradict the reasoning of S15, this being K17's second finding.
The disagreement, and this is really the heart of the matter, arises because the CSIRO-Mk3.6.0 model (and to a lesser degree some other models analyzed by K17) predict a convex1 relationship between estimates of forcing and SO2 emissions, whereas the model of S15 follows earlier studies (Boucher and Pham 2002; Carslaw et al. 2013) in assuming that this relationship is concave. If the convex relationship is correct, then this would mean that the scaling of a midcentury constraint to the present day would imply a less negative (closer to −1.5 W m−2) lower bound than was posited by S15. Notwithstanding that this in itself would still imply a considerable reduction of the uncertainty in aerosol forcing, the question arises as to whether there are good reasons to take the model output analyzed by K17 at face value, and thereby reject S15's less negative lower bound.
The idea implicit in K17's interpretation of the model output is that late-century (Asian dominated) emissions project more strongly onto than do early-century (predominantly European and North American) emissions, despite the latter having occurred upon a more pristine background. This could happen for one of three reasons, which we formulate as hypotheses: Asian emissions of SO2 are exceptionally effective at covering the North Pacific with aerosol (H1), clouds over the North Pacific are exceptionally susceptible to aerosol perturbations (H2), or early twentieth-century emissions were substantially more absorbing (H3). We evaluate H1 and H2 below and show that while they explain why the models behave as they do, this aspect of the model behavior is not consistent with observations on the one hand, or physical understanding on the other. Hence we see no compelling reason to revise the S15 lower bound on
To test H1 we estimate the anthropogenic aerosol burden at different time periods, following methods developed in S15. That is, we calculate the difference in the reflected clear-sky shortwave irradiance, over the ocean, between a given period and a preindustrial period, here taken to be a period between 1861 and 1869 with relatively little volcanic activity. To minimize possible effects from residual volcanic aerosol, and similar to S15, we next calculate the anomaly in this quantity relative to the lowest vigintile (5%) along a line of absolute latitude. To avoid statistical outliers arising from changes in sea ice we limit our analysis to latitudes equatorward of 50°. The resultant quantity, which we denote by R, provides a simple measure of a model's anthropogenic aerosol forcing in a given year (denoted by subscript). Indeed, despite good reason to be skeptical of the estimates,2 varies between 0.2 and 0.3 in the three models analyzed (Table 1 herein), consistent with K17 (their Table 1).
Differences between clear-sky reflected shortwave irradiance over the ocean between 55°N and 55°S.
The most striking finding of this analysis is the strong increase in as compared to This is particularly true of the CSIRO-Mk3.6.0 model output (Fig. 1) but is also evident in other models (e.g., K17) (Fig. 2). Between 1950 and 1975, clear-sky reflected shortwave irradiance anomalies from anthropogenic aerosols exceed 2 W m−2 over most of the North Pacific, but change little thereafter. By contrast the change in R for the GFDL model is much more confined to the continents, and continues to increase with increasing South and East Asian emissions after 1975. Over the Northern Hemisphere extratropics, calculated from the CSIRO-Mk3.6.0 model output is so large that it exceeds the present-day signal from the total aerosol, measured by CERES. Given that globally the total anthropogenic aerosol is estimated to be about 20% of the total aerosol burden (Myhre et al. 2013), and that Asian deserts are a significant source of natural aerosol, it seems that either the CERES data must be in error or the CSIRO-Mk3.6.0 model greatly overestimates the amount of remote aerosol attributable to the initial increase in South and East Asian anthropogenic activity. CALIPSO retrievals (not shown), which are even less susceptible to cloud biases than is our analysis of the CERES data, show a similarly muted signal of aerosol optical depth over the North Pacific and give us confidence in the CERES data. This leads us to conclude that it is the CSIRO-Mk3.6.0 model output that is physically implausible.
Even if the CSIRO-Mk3.6.0 model is not fit for the purpose at hand, it need not call into question H2, namely that clouds over the North Pacific are exceptionally susceptible to aerosol perturbations. To test this hypothesis we use the multiple plume representation of aerosol forcing, MACv2-SP, developed by Stevens et al. (2017). This approach relaxes some of the assumptions of S15 but still allows for explicit control over the pattern of aerosol forcing and the relative contributions of versus to the net forcing. Fiedler et al. (2017) compare in 1975, with its value in 2005. In 1975 emissions of aerosols and aerosol precursors in the Atlantic sector are estimated to be more than a factor of 3 larger than those from South and East Asia. By 2005 the situation had reversed, with emissions from South and East Asia becoming threefold larger than emissions from North America and Europe (Stevens et al. 2017). In experiments with ECHAM6.3 wherein was very carefully controlled, this factor of 10 swing in the relative importance of North American/European versus Asian emissions had, however, no discernible effect on the emission weighted value of (Fig. 3). This finding is consistent with the assumptions adopted by S15. It is also consistent with more comprehensive and controlled studies, as Carslaw et al. (2013) also show no change in over a 30-yr period between 1980 and 2000 (see their extended data in Table 4 therein.).
Notwithstanding the inference that shifting patterns of aerosol loading have a small influence on the net forcing, it could be argued that a more discernible effect of the pattern of emissions could arise if aerosol–cloud interactions were a substantially larger fraction of the total forcing than implied by the Stevens et al. (2017) climatology. To test this idea we artificially enhanced the potency of aerosol–cloud interactions in MACv2-SP. Instead of contributing commensurately with aerosol–radiation interactions to , aerosol–cloud interactions were modified to have a threefold larger contribution, resulting in a W for the present-day anthropogenic aerosol distribution. Maintaining roughly the same global aerosol burden, but instead distributing it following the 1975 pattern of aerosol loading, yields a less negative W m−2. This modest (15%) difference can be expected to be sensitive to the representation of clouds in ECHAM6.3, so that it could be larger. This suggests that models with what we believe to be unrealistically strong aerosol–cloud interactions could also give too much weight to late-twentieth-century emissions, thereby causing the convexity in the relationship between SO2 emissions and This is by no means an idiosyncratic interpretation. A recent community assessment addressing this question has revised the magnitude of the aerosol forcing since 1990 to a substantially less negative value, in effect also arguing that the degree of concavity seen in the models analyzed by K17 is implausible (Myhre et al. 2017).
We are not adverse to the idea that may be more negative than the lower bound of S15, possibly for reasons already stated in that paper. We are averse to the idea that climate models, which have gross and well-documented deficiencies in their representation of aerosol–cloud interactions (cf. Boucher et al. 2013), provide a meaningful quantification of forcing uncertainty. Surely after decades of satellite measurements, countless field experiments, and numerous finescale modeling studies that have repeatedly highlighted basic deficiencies in the ability of comprehensive climate models to represent processes contributing to atmospheric aerosol forcing, it is time to give up on the fantasy that somehow their output can be accepted at face value. If progress is to be made in narrowing the bounds on aerosol forcing, it will arise not through a reduction of model spread—which fails to penalize the most erroneous models—but rather by developing and testing specific physical hypotheses underlying a statement for exceeding a given bound.

By convex we mean upward concavity, so that when is plotted against SO2 emissions the slope is increasing, i.e., greater at high (late twentieth century) emission levels than it is at low (early twentieth century) emission levels.
K17's estimates include changes from surface albedo, and are made uncertain by interannual variability in top-of-atmosphere irradiances (Fiedler et al. 2017).
