But heat - trapping gases that have accumulated in the atmosphere, largely from the burning of fossil fuels, have become a dominant force, pushing the Earth's climate out of its normal range.

This is your hardest question to answer, as the question seems to presuppose their are other sources of heat that are warming up the earth other than global warming due to CO2, methane, nitrous oxide (from agriculture and fertilisers) and CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons, from refrigerants etc) accumulating in the atmosphere from mankind's various activities.

Even with the problems in the Gulf, the science that points to rising risks from accumulating greenhouse gases, and the cheering at a green - jobs fair, there's scant evidence that the country is even remotely engaged in the kind of energy quest that would be required to move off the comfortable fossil - fuel «rung» of what Loren Eiseley called the heat ladder.

«the Stratosphere can not accumulate any heat; to slow down cooling of the planet tomorrow — because: by tomorrow, the planet will be million miles away from that spot, spinning around the sun.»

But that's actually an understatement by Gallup, since more than 97 % of the world's climatologists say that those carbon gases, which are given off by humans» burning of carbon - based fuels, are causing this planet's temperatures to rise over the long term, as those carbon gases accumulate in the atmosphere and also block the heat from being radiated back into outer space.

Coming from one who at comment # 16.2 stated that at night the oceans lose all the heat they accumulated during the day,...

GHG's continue to accumulate heat in the atmosphere from the time they're released to the time they get scrubbed out by natural processes.

Many of the projects we look at as being carbon - friendly (i.e. construction of a major green energy or clean transport project) are significantly less so since the big burst of carbon from construction, which happens at the start of the project, hangs around for decades accumulating more heat than early LCAs accounted for (an abbreviated treatment of this concept is in Kendall, Chang & Sharpe, Environ.

While measurements of ocean heat going down to 700 metres have showed declining heat accumulation, von Schuckmann 2009 shows that measurements of ocean heat going down to 2000 metres find the oceans have been steadily accumulating heat at 0.77 W / m2 from 2003 to 2008.

Short - term variability is sufficient to account for changes in ocean heat without resort to an accumulating energy imbalance from greenhouse gases.

As time goes on, the rate of burning in the power plant stays the same, but the CO2 accumulates, so by the end of the year, the greenhouse gases will be heating the Earth much more than the direct emissions from the power plant.»

Some of the accumulated heat will be released into the air above, the equilibrium has been disrupted, cooler surface, followed by more heat absorbing from the source above, and so on, result surface temperature oscillation (the AMO).

Below are 6 factors that must be removed from the global average chimera before we can evaluate how much heat has accumulated and how much heat can be attributed to rising CO2.

The increase in temperature would (to my mind) simply be the accumulated energy from the heat source since it would be unable to dissipate any energy.

All the heat accumulated in summer by the poorly oriented structure likely would see those inside flip on the air conditioning, while the lack of warmth from the sun in winter will see them turn up the heat.

The waste products of the world might come from consumption, heating, agriculture, mining, manufacturing, fossil fuel extraction, transportation, or some other human activity and without some form of control, they will degrade the environment as they accumulate or disperse.

This data comes from a paper lead authored by Australian climate scientist John Church that tallies up the heat accumulating in the oceans, warming the land and atmosphere and melting the ice:

Figure 1: Total amount of heat from global warming that has accumulated in Earth's climate system from 1962 to 2008, from Church et al. (2011).

Productivity increased significantly however, as a result of both treatments and the heating effect was found to accumulate massively in effects on productivity over the 3 experimental years, from a first - year 12 % effect to 57 %.

If over a long period of time that portion of the ocean accumulates heat, then the index (a statistic calculated from temperatures and pressures) running mean will change over that time span.

Earth's climate system has not stopped accumulating energy over the past years, but ocean - atmosphere cycles (mainly a cool PDO) have slowed the rate of flow of latent and sensible heat from ocean to atmosphere.

The pipes carry the warmed glycol back into the house, where the accumulated heat energy radiates from vents.

There isn't enough heat capacity for heat to accumulate, so the only way to reach balance is through extra heat losses from the Earth (to exactly balance the forcing).

The short version is that when the Pacific accumulates a certain amount of equatorial ocean heat content, the El Nino / La Nina pump swings into operation and pumps that heat first across the Pacific and from there polewards.

The major difference would be that the CO2 heat load accumulates, e.g. once injected imposes a significant forcing over centuries, while the power dissipation heat load goes away as soon as civilization collapses from heat stroke or a bit longer as the satellites fall out of the sky on a new generation of hunter gatherers.
