Sentences with phrase «such additional warming»

Though such additional warming will have both positive and negative consequences for human beings and other life on the planet, global warming scientists believe that the negative consequences far outweigh the positive consequences.

Such additional warming would increase the number and severity of impacts associated with many key vulnerabilities identified in this chapter.

Not exact matches

Correcting this error did not bring the early thermometers completely in line with proxies — up to 0.9 F of additional warm bias might still persist from other sources, such as differences in the thermometers or in how people read them — «but I think we are nearer to the truth,» said Böhm in 2012.

Studies such as Otto et al. (2012) display how the numerical scale of the simulation numbers allows for clear separation between a climate with lower level of heat - trapping gases (1960s) and the recent period (2000s), such that the 2010 heat wave in western Russia was more likely to occur with the additional warming due to climate change (Figure 3).

It will also include complicated models of interconnected ecosystem feedbacks.The panel's last report noted that preliminary knowledge of such feedbacks suggested that an additional 100 billion to 500 billion tons of greenhouse gas emissions would have to be prevented in the next century to avoid dangerous global warming.

The cabin of the new GTC is now even more practical, with additional rear legroom, new storage solutions and innovative features such as touch - screen infotainment, automatic seat - belt presenters and a Bentley - designed Neck Warmer for comfortable roof - down motoring whatever the temperature.

''... Bhavsar's paintings are not limited to their surface colors - which are indefinable, suffused as they are with additional tones such as violet, saffron, rose, vermillion, cinnamon, midnight blue, and emerald, tinged warm and cool.

Permafrost modeling studies typically indicate a potential release of in the neighborhood ~ 200 PgC as carbon dioxide equivalent by 2100, though poorly constrained, but comparable to other biogeochemical and climate - ecosystem related feedbacks, such as the additional CO2 released by the warming of terrestrial soils.

The Nature commentary by Penner et al. on which this argument is based actually says that on top of the global warming caused by carbon dioxide, other short - lived pollutants (such as methane and black carbon) cause an additional warming approximately 65 % as much as CO2, and other short - lived pollutants (such as aerosols) also cause some cooling.

Some climate scientists have looked at the potential impact of such an event and concluded that it likely would delay additional global warming — but only until the sun returned to more - normal swings in sun - spot activity.

Psychologists studying climate communication make two additional (and related) points about why the warming - snow link is going to be exceedingly difficult for much of the public to accept: 1) people's confirmation biases lead them to pay skewed attention to weather events, in such a way as to confirm their preexisting beliefs about climate change (see p. 4 of this report); 2) people have mental models of «global warming» that tend to rule out wintry impacts.

«Earth at peak Holocene temperature is poised such that additional warming instigates large amplifying high - latitude feedbacks.

«The climate alarmists maintain that man's emissions of CO2 caused such a rapid increase world - wide, and further increases in CO2 will create additional catastrophic global warming.

If climate models are able to reproduce past warm climatic conditions (such as those of the LIG), including the extent of Arctic sea ice cover, we will have additional confidence in their representation of Arctic processes and their projections for the future20, 21,22,23.

Studies such as Otto et al. (2012) display how the numerical scale of the simulation numbers allows for clear separation between a climate with lower level of heat - trapping gases (1960s) and the recent period (2000s), such that the 2010 heat wave in western Russia was more likely to occur with the additional warming due to climate change (Figure 3).

With the late - summer ice edge located farther north than it used to be, storms produce larger waves and more coastal erosion.5 An additional contributing factor is that coastal bluffs that were «cemented» by ice - rich permafrost are beginning to thaw in response to warmer air and ocean waters, and are therefore more vulnerable to erosion.22 Standard defensive adaptation strategies to protect coastal communities from erosion, such as use of rock walls, sandbags, and riprap, have been largely unsuccessful.23 Several coastal communities are seeking to relocate to escape erosion that threatens infrastructure and services but, because of high costs and policy constraints on use of federal funds for community relocation, only one Alaskan village has begun to relocate (see also Ch.

There is new information that lack of sea ice causes storms to produce larger waves and more coastal erosion.5 An additional contributing factor is that coastal bluffs that were «cemented» by permafrost are beginning to thaw in response to warmer air and ocean waters, and are therefore more vulnerable to erosion.22 Standard defensive adaptation strategies to protect coastal communities from erosion such as use of rock walls, sandbags, and riprap have been largely unsuccessful.23 There remains considerable uncertainty, however, about the spatial patterns of future coastal erosion.

With warming greater than 2 °C, there is a high risk of abrupt and irreversible changes to ecosystems such as forests, which would lead to «substantial additional climate change» considering that trees sequester significant amounts of carbon dioxide.

Tipping points can occur during climate change when the climate reaches a state such that strong amplifying feedbacks are activated by only moderate additional warming.

agreement that the warming to date would have reduced Arctic sea ice, there is no such consensus for the Antarctic, with at least some models having simulated sea ice growth in response to moderate warming before switching to sea ice shrinkage from additional warming (e.g., Manabe et al., 1992; see also Liu and Curry, 2010).

In such a scenario, the planet still has a radiative imbalance, and the warming will continue until the oceans have warmed sufficiently to equalise the situation — giving an additional 0.3 to 0.8 ºC warming over the 21st Century.

Moderate warming in such a situation leads to more snowfall but no additional melting.

The more conventional pure reductionist radiative model approach (Sloan and Wolfendale 2013; Manabe and Möller 1961) is unable to explain a lack of warming in the presence of increased GHGs unless additional factors are included such as natural variations (Easterling and Wehner 2009).

Such a release could potentially create enough additional warming to make the 4 degree world unstable, just as the carbon cycle feedbacks discussed in the previous section might render the 3 degree world unstable.

Energy system inertia, due to existing infrastructure such as power plants and vehicles on the road today, makes additional CO2 and still further warming inevitable.
