Sentences with phrase «co2 by these natural processes»

Do you think it could be related to the rising temperatures and how it affects the Earth's capability to sequester atmospheric CO2 by natural processes like the photosintesis of the plants?
All plants convert atmospheric CO2 into carbon compounds (plant structure) which, if not digested by a grazing animal, will still be converted into methane and CO2 by natural processes.
If as you note the GHE without anthropogenic inputs would be approximately 32 Deg C.; Given the amount of CO2 by natural process would be approximately 280ppm would suggest roughly 9 ppm of GHG would increase temperatures approximately 1 Deg.
It seems that, in order to make a case for equality, Lucas needs there to be a finite world, as if, were there no such limits (to the absorption of CO2 by natural processes), there would be no case for equality.
However, emissions and removal of CO2 by these natural processes tend to balance.

Not exact matches

Halifax, Nova Scotia — based Carbon Sense Solutions plans to accelerate the natural process of cement absorbing CO2 by exposing a fresh batch to flue gas.
Tans initially expected February to be the first month of the year above 400 ppm, but predicting that threshold is tricky because CO2 concentrations depend both on emissions and natural ecosystem processes, which can be influenced by climate phenomena like the El Nino Southern Oscillation cycle, he said.
Carbon dioxide is produced by many natural and industrial processes, which currently result in CO2 levels of 380 ppmv in the atmosphere.
By using the energy from natural gas fuel more efficiently, the co-generation unit helps to reduce overall CO2 emissions by combining two processeBy using the energy from natural gas fuel more efficiently, the co-generation unit helps to reduce overall CO2 emissions by combining two processeby combining two processes.
If used as an average for the globe, it would represent the sum of all CO2 added to, and removed from, the atmosphere during the year by human activities and by natural processes.
Right now, we pour about twice as much CO2 into the atmospheric tub than is removed on net by natural processes.
Here we present a means to estimate this natural flux by a separation of oceanic carbon anomalies into those created by biogenic processes and those created by CO2 exchange between the ocean and atmosphere.
Bio-SNG (Synthetic Natural Gas) delivered via the gas grid offers CO2 lifecycle savings of up to 90 % compared with fossil fuel alternatives, and offer sa more cost - effective solution than electricity for carbon abatement in transport applications, according to a new feasibility study published by National Grid (UK), the North East Process Industry Cluster (NEPIC) and Centrica.
CO2 and WATER VAPOR are influenced by the environment in other words as the oceans go so do hey despite man's contribution which is fractional when compared to natural processes.
In that scenario it would have happened by natural processes completely independent of the magically inert and transparent CO2.
But it was always at a rate that could easily be accommodated by natural feedback processes if CO2 levels got too high — usually in the form of increased rock weathering through an acceleration of the hydrological cycle.
On the other hand, CO2 is removed from the air by natural geological - scale processes and these take a long time to work.
Effectively she appears to at least confirm the possibility of my proposition that what is going on is an entirely natural solar induced process (destruction of ozone in the upper atmosphere by more incoming solar protons) which casts doubt on all previous assumptions concerning human CO2 AND CFCs.
Furthermore, the dynamics of the rise and fall indicate that the system is NOT saturated such that some of the total (natural and anthropogenic) CO2 emission can not be sequestered by the natural sequestration processes.
All the attempts to divine the relative influences of natural processes, land use changes, and CO2 changes are plagued by this and other problems.
ie, earth has warmed, co2 a ghg, man contributes co2, warming caused in part due to man vs natural processes, for varying opinions of how big that part is) the activist have tried to label them otherwise, not believing earth has warmed (being ambiguous on cause), or not believeing co2 a ghg by never defining, the object of the consensus..
This will allow immediate leverage of the low cost of natural gas, along with easy conversion to light oils (free of «corrosive components») generated by cyanobacterial processes (such as Joule Unlimited's), or methane from conversion of solar / electrolytic hydrogen and atmospheric CO2 when either / both of those processes become cost - competitive.
And, of course, it would be strange if CO2, CH4, etc. exhibited different behavior if put into the atmosphere by natural process versus being put into the atmosphere by human emission.
Most of the CO2 is also absorbed by natural processes but the net amount of CO2 is increasing and the man made percentage of the net increase was about the 28 to 30 %.
The cost for carbon sequestration with wood burial is low because CO2 is removed from the atmosphere by the natural process of photosynthesis at little cost.
This new concept of anthropogenic impacts on seawater pH formulated here accommodates the broad range of mechanisms involved in the anthropogenic forcing of pH in coastal ecosystems, including changes in land use, nutrient inputs, ecosystem structure and net metabolism, and emissions of gases to the atmosphere affecting the carbon system and associated pH. The new paradigm is applicable across marine systems, from open - ocean and ocean - dominated coastal systems, where OA by anthropogenic CO2 is the dominant mechanism of anthropogenic impacts on marine pH, to coastal ecosystems where a range of natural and anthropogenic processes may operate to affect pH.
The global changes (like CO2 buildup) caused by other organisms or natural processes ocur on much much shorter timescales.
... AGW has a real but minor effect compared to natural cycles and processes and data bias by the official climate Team, and that a bit of warming and higher CO2 levels may turn out to be of net benefit to humanity.
This indicates that a 33 % increase in CO2 causes the natural removal processes to increase by this amount.
It is more probable that such a small ripple in the annual natural flow of CO2 would be caused by natural fluctuations of geophysical processes.
I still believe that CO2 levels are rising largely due to human activities and that they contribute to net mean warming, though not anywhere near the amount estimated by the official climate Team, and far less than natural processes not under human control.
