Sentences with phrase «c warming in the pipeline»

It seems to me that «Earth's Energy Imbalance» paper is not strictly a science paper; there are also policy warnings e.g. «this example [~ 0.6 C warming in the pipeline]... implies the need for near - term anticipatory actions».

Not exact matches

The ocean's ability to absorb heat and carbon could reduce the warming already in the pipeline by 0.2 to 0.3 C, they wrote.

If we have had 1C of warming (giss) since pre-industrial and human made aerosols are masking between 0.5 and 1.1 (Samset et al) and there is warming «in the pipeline» as well — has the possibility of a 1.5 C target already passed?

The current energy imbalance at the surface (as demonstrated by the increasing heat content of the oceans) implies there is at least a further 0.5 deg C surface warming in the «pipeline».

But aren't these way too low, since LOTI shows we are — as of 2017 — already around 0.95 C warmer than the 1951 - 1980 average, and there is more warming «in the pipeline» because of the time lag, and another (estimated) 0.5 C warming when the anthropogenic aerosols dimming effect is removed?

However even the moderate scenarios which have eventual stabilisation give more warming than 0.8 C. Even in the extremely unlikely event that there is no further growth in emissions, the current planetary energy imbalance (estimated to be almost 1W / m2)(due to the ocean thermal inertia) implies that there is around 0.5 C extra warming already in the pipeline that will be realised over the next 20 to 30 years.

That is 2.3 C per doubling or 4.1 incuding warming in the pipeline.

IPCC (AR4) has figured that 0.6 C of warming is still «in the pipeline».

Based on no further acceleration of temperature rise and nothing in the pipeline, this would imply a warming of +2.3 C.

Let's assume that the theoretical 0.26 C atmospheric warming is correct, but that it went into the upper ocean (top 500 meters), where it is hiding to come back out again as added warming some day (as James E. Hansen has suggested with his «hidden in the pipeline» postulation).
