Not exact matches

The Arctic took another 3,000 - 4,000 years to warm this much, primarily because of the fact that the Northern Hemisphere had huge ice sheets to buffer warming, and the fact that changes in ocean currents and Earth's orbital configuration accelerated warming in the south.

Such scaremongering is especially painful to me because even though I do not think that government - approved GMO foods pose meaningful health risks to consumers, and even though I believe strategic genetic engineering can be an important tool to ease human suffering on our warming and resource - constrained planet, I share the concerns of many environmentalists about the homogenization and consolidation of the global food system — trends that are accelerated by the spread of industrially produced GMOs.

The subsidence means these areas are sinking even faster than sea level is rising because of global warming: currently 3 mm per year and accelerating.

The European Alps have been growing since the end of the last little Ice Age in 1850 when glaciers began shrinking as temperatures warmed, but the rate of uplift has accelerated in recent decades because global warming has sped up the rate of glacier melt, the researchers say.

It is of interest to scientists because it is changing rapidly; it is thinning, accelerating and receding3, all of which contribute directly to sea level, and its future under a warming climate is uncertain.

Their argument goes like this: It is not possible that warming of the deep ocean accelerates at the same time as warming of the upper ocean slows down, because the heat must pass through the upper layer to reach the depths.

But because that warming is now dominant, see comment 75 #, the Arctic warming will certainly accelerate.]

Especially since based on the model calculations you'd expect anyway trends around 0.2 degrees per decade, because models predict not a constant but a gradually accelerating warming.

Momentum is for warmer GT's, heat radiation can only escape to space at a regular rate, does not accelerate outwards because the atmosphere is warmer, in fact the opposite if the troposphere is higher.

2/29/16 — Sea levels on Earth are rising several times faster than they have in the past 2,800 years and are accelerating because of human - driven global warming, according to new studies reported by the Associated Press.

Because the inflow of warm water has been waning since the late 1990s, it suggested that accelerated loss of ice would soon wane as well.

The major contribution to the increased CO2 arose from reductions in soil carbon because global warming is assumed to accelerate respiration.

We don't yet know what else lies buried within the Earth's permafrost — which is scary, because warming in the Arctic is accelerating.

Since IPCC's first report in 1990, assessed projections have suggested global average temperature increases [at least, because of IPCC's accelerated warming claim] between about 0.15 °C and 0.3 °C per decade for 1995 to 2010.

The loss of large areas of ice on the surface could accelerate global warming because less of the sun's energy would be reflected away from Earth to begin with (refer back to our discussion of the greenhouse effect).

Of course, that will never happen because the ocean - air interface is going to keep warming with the + CO2 that will keep happening and it's all going to accelerate.

However, despite this, the team reckon to have perhaps isolated a «global warming» signal in the accelerated run off of the Greenland Ice Mass — but only just, because the runoff at the edges is balanced by increasing central mass — again, they focus upon recent trends — a net loss of about 22 cubic kilometres in total ice mass per year which they regard as statistically not significant — to find the «signal», and a contradiction to their ealier context of air temperature cycles.

As for your nonsensical idea that «If each decade warmed at exactly 0.2 C that would still make each new decade «the warmest on record»; not in any meaningful way because as I say it is not the absolute anomalous amount which is important in a generally [and naturally] warming system; solar heating is sustained so there will be a build - up but whether that build - up is accelerating or declining is the issue;

Sea ice loss accelerated from the mid 1990's because of a negative NAO regime (apart from around the last two sunspot maxima) driving a warm AMO.

I say «more or less» because one could argue from the data (as we'll see below) that the warming rate during recent years has upticked with the warmth in 2010 indicating a warming that is occurring faster than projected and is accelerating.

Because in 1988, NASA's James Hansen testified that CO2 warming was accelerating and dangerous (it's been neither).

At issue was the fact that bottom waters were warming and that because many glaciers rested on sea beds that sloped inland, melt rates had the potential to very rapidly accelerate.)

«Modern science», meaning Man made global warming is attacked because it calls a global cooling trend an accelerated warming (IPCC AR4).

I thought warming was «accelerating» because of all the CO2 pumped into the atmosphere over the last 50 years.

Yet an increase in the surface area of crevasses can accelerate the flow because it means more of the ice's interior is exposed to warming by surface melt water.

Accelerated oceanic conveyor belt can't be hidden because the warm side travels the surface out of the tropics and can be sounded cheaply.

I chose this time period because 1940 is the time when fossil fuel consumption strongly accelerated, and 1977 is the time of the Great Pacific Climate Shift, when the PDO changed from cooling to warming (on average).

It completely swamps any possible CO2 contribution because, unlike CO2, which remains generally stable regardless of atmospheric temperature change (that's most of the basis for the claim that CO2 will incur warming, in fact), the evaporative cooling process accelerates enormously when the atmosphere warms.

Read more: Stanford University Aerosols Also Implicated in Glacier Melting, Changing Weather Patterns Other research examining the effects of soot on melting glaciers and changing weather pattens in South Asia has reached similar conclusions: Beyond increasing atmospheric warming, because the soot coats the surface of the snow and ice it changes the albedo of the surface, allowing it to absorb more sunlight and thereby accelerating melting.

That is because the advance of boreal forests, which have begun to supplant the region's tundras, threatens to accelerate the impact of global warming by reducing the region's albedo effect.

The European Alps have been growing since the end of the last little Ice Age in 1850 when glaciers began shrinking as temperatures warmed, but the rate of uplift has accelerated in recent decades because global warming has sped up the rate of glacier melt, the researchers say.

The shift provides additional evidence that changes in the Arctic are not only directly because of global warming, as shown by warmer air and sea temperatures, but are also part of an «Arctic amplification» through which multiple Arctic - specific physical processes interact to accelerate temperature change, ice variability, and ecological impacts.

If we do accelerate a «warming» somehow, I imagine it will just start the reverse swing sooner than it would have happened because we hit the trigger limit faster than its «natural» oscillation.
