Sentences with phrase «amounts of additional warming»

(Athanasiou and Bear 2002) The 2oC upper temperature limit is quite controversial scientifically because, as we shall see, some scientists believe that lower amounts of additional warming could set into motion rapid climate changes that could greatly harm people around the world and increases of as little as 1oC will likely greatly harm some people in some regions.

If we wind up emitting an extra gigatonne [billion metric tons] of CO2 into the atmosphere this year, it commits the Earth to a certain amount of additional warming that can't be taken back — a warming that starts to emerge within decades but will still be with us after thousands of years.

Not exact matches

However, February's outsized rise may have been enhanced by unseasonably warm weather, with the number of additional construction jobs rising by the largest amount in several years.

The Summary for Policymakers states that taking into account additional warming factors, the amount of carbon that can be released through carbon dioxide emissions — in total — comes down to about 800 billion tonnes.

I think it ended up adding just the right amount of interest as well as an additional layer to help me stay warm.

One possible cause might be the 16 - year old, slightly mechanically stretched timing chain that gets the «right» amount of additional elongation from the warm engine that puts the engine timing and more specifically the ignition timing out.

* & & * — if the stratosphere were optically thick and warmed at the bottom even if the whole experiences net cooling, then the stratospheric feedback adds to the initial TRPP forcing, and the end result could require warming below TRPP to change the flux at TRPP to an amount greater than the TRPP after stratospheric adjustment, because of the additional warming that would occur in the (lower) stratosphere.

-------- * & & * — if the stratosphere were optically thick and warmed at the bottom even if the whole experiences net cooling, then the stratospheric feedback adds to the initial TRPP forcing, and the end result could require warming below TRPP to change the flux at TRPP to an amount greater than the TRPP after stratospheric adjustment, because of the additional warming that would occur in the (lower) stratosphere.

Before you jump the gun and call that evidence for a warmer MWP, you should not that the authors also note that we need no additional warming to nearly double that amount of rise by 2100.

To determine what «unrealized» warming is in the pipeline you would have to know what the normal forcing «it» should receive plus the amount of additional forcing we have provided.

The models look suspiciously like they have a CO2 warming dial set to a standard amount of additional heat based on gas properties determined in the lab, not in situ.

Given this, a strong ethical argument can be made that all nations have a duty to try to prevent additional warming of almost any amount, while the Cancun agreements legitimize an additional 2 °C warming.

A certain amount of continued warming of the planet is projected to occur as a result of human - induced emissions to date; another 0.5 °F increase would be expected over the next few decades even if all emissions from human activities suddenly stopped, 11 although natural variability could still play an important role over this time period.12 However, choices made now and in the next few decades will determine the amount of additional future warming.

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.

The smaller the rate of warming, the smaller the possibility that a separate, additional cause of warming is being missed, and that, therefore, greenhouse gases account for most or all of the total amount of warming.

Due to the amount of forcing that has been added to the system, the negative feedbacks are not expected to outweigh the positive feedbacks, therefore additional warming is expected.

Most non-scientists are misled by the impression (not corrected by the pro-wraming crowd) that CO2 acts in a linear fashion, with each additional amount (ppm) causing a commensurate amount of warming.

036 °C / yr and leaving an energy of 14.8 to 18.4 1019 J / yr available; (2) the increase of the atmosphere - related ice melt between these two periods amounts to 316 Gt / yr which requires 10.5 1019 J / yr, i.e. between 57 % and 71 % of the energy left by the slowdown; and (3) the energy budget shows therefore that the heat required to melt this additional 316 Gt / yr of ice is of the same order as the energy needed to warm the atmosphere during the decade 2002 — 2011 as much as during the previous one, suggesting a redistribution of heat within the atmosphere - cryosphere system.

Partly that reflects the fact that costs begin rapidly to escalate beyond that amount of warming; partly it reflects the possibility (discussed in considerable detail by Mr. Lynas) that that may be enough warming to trigger climate feedbacks that would make yet more warming inevitable even without additional greenhouse gas emissions.
