Sentences with phrase «allow average global temperatures»

Current national commitments to cut greenhouse gases would likely allow average global temperatures to rise by 3.5 °C by 2100, suggest new modeling results released today.

Not exact matches

The deal aims to limit the average global temperature increase to below 2C (3.6 F), allowing each country to create its own goals and targets for addressing rising global temperatures.

The ratio of these gases in the atmosphere therefore allows for the calculation of average global ocean temperature.

Regions in the high Arctic are warming at 5 to 8 times the global average, and are destroying the delicate temperature balance between the Arctic and the equator that has allowed us to have our familiar, stable climate.

Ray, I think Lee Grable's point is important: The fact that we use the term «global temperature» to mean the average temperature on a two - dimensional surface rather than the three - dimensional ocean plus land plus atmosphere system of the earth has the potential to allow confusion.

Now I've seen mentions that (strong) El Nino years will make the global annual average higher — e.g. 1998 was so warm partly because of El Nino, and that this is due to the fact that sub-surface warmer water is brought up and allowed to affect the air temperature.

(and not allowing surface temperature variation to increase so much that the average temperature drops significantly relative to global average OLR)

I can't believe I am saying this, as the media covergae of climate change is almost universally appalling BUT I think part of the problem is that we, as the scientific community allowed the message / meme to permeate that media that «warming» was purely an atmospheric temperature phenomena to be assessed solely by average global temperatures.

Still, nations worldwide are not doing near - enough to keep their pledge of not allowing global temperatures to rise 2 degrees Celsius (3.6 degrees Fahrenheit) above the 20th Century average warns the IEA.

Global warming refers to an increase in the average temperature of the Earth as a result of the greenhouse effect, in which gases in the upper atmosphere trap solar radiation close to the planet's surface instead of allowing it to dissipate into space.

In 2015, government leaders from around the world made a pact to limit global average temperature rise to a point that would allow a familiar standard of living — 2 degrees Celsius (2 °C).

Positive forcing at seasonal to inter-annual scales leads to an average global surface temperature drop from La Nina influence but recharging of OHC (longer term gain), while reduced forcing allows El Nino conditions and temporary peaks in global average temperature, and OHC reduction (longer term loss).

The ratio of these gases allows for a much more effective and exact calculation of average global ocean temperature, according to Severinghaus and his team of researchers at Scripps.

If we allow sustained global average temperature increases of more than 1 degree Celsius, we will suffer irreversible climate destabilization and a planet largely inhospitable to human civilization.

In the Fahrenheit measurements familiar to citizens of the U.S., the G - 8 target means not allowing a global temperature average above roughly 61.6 degrees Fahrenheit.

The IPCC 2001 TAR shows a graph of four datasets including Hadley CRU all showing the cooling from 1942 to 1975 but the 2007 4AR report shows the same Hadley CRU dataset modified (physically altered) to eliminate this cooling to show overall warming since the middle of the century allowing the statement «Most of the observed increase in global average temperatures since the mid-20th century is very likely due to the observed increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gas concentrations.»
