spalding craft (2)-- Actually, there is an overwhelming abundance of evidence that the climate warmed to a maximum, so - called optimum, temperature at different times in different regions, but about 8 — 6 thousand years ago; it had been cooling, on average since until humans started added considerable quantities of global warming (so - called greenhouse) gases started in, say, 1850 CE.

To take one surprising example, leaks of methane from gas pipelines turned out to add significantly to global warming.

Global warming also refers to what scientists think will happen in the future if humans keep adding greenhouse gases to the atmosphere.

Other gases that contribute to global warming — such as methane from waste — are converted into «carbon equivalent» units then added to the carbon footprint.

Scientists have determined that a number of human activities are contributing to global warming by adding excessive amounts of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere.

While they do not expect the gases to do much damage to the ozone layer, think they may add to global warming.

My bottom line is that while the global climate models, when run with added CO2 and other greenhouse gases, show that this is a warming effect, they are inadequate tools to assess the consequences of these human climate forcings on the regional and local scale.

An added side effect benefit in our fight against global warming due to anthropogenic greeenhouse gasses is a great increase in the production of dimethyl sulfide or DMS.

Based on current knowledge, however, it appears that achieving a high probability of limiting global average temperature rise to 2C will require that the increase in greenhouse - gas concentrations as well as all the other warming and cooling influences on global climate in the year 2100, as compared with 1750, should add up to a net warming no greater than what would be associated with a CO2 concentration of about 400 parts per million (ppm).

This budding technology is diverse enough to actively be fighting global warming by removing green house gasses from the atmosphere and by adding to renewable energy sources, and has the capability to be economically practical.

Coleman went on to add that he based most of his views on the findings of the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change (NIPCC), an international body that says «because it is not a government agency, and because its members are not predisposed to believe climate change is caused by human greenhouse gas emissions, NIPCC is able to offer an independent «second opinion» of the evidence reviewed - or not reviewed - by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) on the issue of global warming.»

Two years ago, an authoritative study predicted there could be as little as 10 years before this «tipping point» for global warming was reached, adding a rise of 0.8 degrees had already been reached with further rises already locked in because of the time lag in the way carbon dioxide the principal greenhouse gas is absorbed into the atmosphere.

16 Sea level rising by thermal expansion AND ice melt Sea ice melting (Arctic and Antarctic) Glaciers melting worldwide Arctic and Antarctic Peninsula heating up fastest Melting on ice sheets is accelerating More severe weather (droughts, floods, storms, heat waves, hard freezes, etc.) Bottom line: These changes do not fit the natural patterns unless we add the effects of increased Greenhouse gasses Signs that global warming is underway

There are also concerns that pumping sequestered CO2 into oil and gas wells to help make the fuels easier to pump out of the ground will lead to further consumption of fossil fuels, and CO2 emissions, thus adding to global warming.

We burn fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) because we didn't realize they were adding to the greenhouse effect which is now causing global warming and climate change.

Ironically, burning all that Russian oil would add more greenhouse gases, which are largely responsible for the global warming that is melting the Arctic, to the atmosphere.

The suit was brought by landowners in Mississippi, who claim that oil and coal companies emitted greenhouse gasses that contributed to global warming that, in turn, caused a rise in sea levels, adding to Hurricane Katrina's ferocity.

We know without a doubt that gases we are adding to the air have caused a planetary energy imbalance and global warming, already 0.8 degrees Celsius since pre-industrial times.

«The bill's cap on greenhouse gas pollution takes on the problem of global warming in a strong and sensible way,» added Krupp.

By consulting climate records and modeling extreme events with and without added greenhouse gases, scientists can talk about how much global warming has increased the chances of extreme events — without blaming any one event on warming.

The numbers for each of the main gases (CO2, methane, nitrous oxide and high - global warming potential gases) are converted to the equivalent amount of CO2 that would produce warming - so allowing them to be compared and added together.

Because the atmosphere is a Nitrogen - Oxygen based atmosphere, representing over 99.9 % of the atmosphere's gasses, adding Carbon Dioxide to the atmosphere cools the Nitrogen - Oxygen based atmosphere, as demonstrated in experimental designs conducted by Professor Gert Venter, Agricultural Engineering, University of Pretoria: «You know, that's why all I can do is laugh when these global warming monkeys tell me that CO2 is a greenhouse gas.

He added that even if the EPA were forced to regulate greenhouse gases, it would target emissions from coal - fired power plants and then vehicles — which combined account for about half of the nation's global - warming pollution — before requiring smaller operations to apply for new emissions permits.
