Sentences with phrase «less sea ice =»

Not exact matches

I've been criticized by some environmentalists in recent years for writing that the long - term picture (more CO2 = warmer world = less ice = higher seas and lots of climatic and ecological changes) is the only aspect of human - caused global warming that is solidly established, and that efforts to link dramatic weather - related events to the human influence on climate could backfire should nature wiggle the other way for awhile.

Andy, yes it is true that you have been criticized for writing that the only firm impact of climate change is more CO2 = warmer world = less ice = higher seas.

More CO2 = more warming = less ice, higher seas & changing climate patterns.

The uncomfortable reality: Outside the basics (more CO2 = warming world = many climate shifts + less ice + rising seas) more research on complex scientific questions often leads to more questions rather than resolving the one at hand.

So here we are, still facing a clear long - term picture (more CO2 = warming world = less ice + higher seas + lots of changing climate patterns), but sufficient murk in the short run to fuel the «green noise» and «destructive interference» in climate discourse.

The formula holds: more CO2 = warming world = less ice + higher seas + lots of changing climate patterns.

One of the unavoidable realities attending global warming — a reality that makes it the perfect problem — is that there is plenty of remaining uncertainty, even as the basics have grown ever firmer (my litany: more CO2 = warmer world = less ice = rising seas and lots of climate shifts).

What is distinct about global warming is that the basics of 100 - year - old theory have stood the test of time (more CO2 = warming world = less ice + higher seas and lots of climate change).

My impression from looking at the conference material is that it was indeed more or less what you would expect four years on from the 2001 IPCC report, with two very large exceptions: The potential collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (= 5 meter sea level rise) and ocean acidification (= partial ocean ecosystem collapse with a subsequent cascade of potential side effects that practically defy description).
