As we (and a number of other mainstream news outlets) reported, Robert Kaufmann and colleagues analysed the impact of growing coal use, particularly in China, and the cooling effect of the sulphate aerosol particles emitted into the atmosphere.

Methane that escapes the sea is generally a small fraction of methane that is released from clathrates at the sea floor, though if the concentration rose high enough so much could make it to the atmosphere that the impact of methane as a GHG in air (before it devolves to CO2 in air) overwhelmed the negative effects of methane decomposing to CO2 in the oceans..

For his part, Karl acknowledges that it is important to investigate how short - term effects might impact decadal trends, but says that these short term trends do not necessarily elucidate the long - term effects of rising greenhouse - gas concentrations in the atmosphere.

32 Human Impact on Climate Change The Greenhouse Effect Is a natural warming of both Earth's lower atmosphere and surface Makes life as we know it possible Major Gases: Water Vapor and Carbon Dioxide Humans have added more greenhouse gases to the atmosphere in the past 200 years by burning fossil fuels

E.g., research assumes greenhouse gas emissions cause warming without explicitly stating humans are the cause»... carbon sequestration in soil is important for mitigating global climate change» (4a) No position Does not address or mention the cause of global warming (4b) Uncertain Expresses position that human's role on recent global warming is uncertain / undefined «While the extent of human - induced global warming is inconclusive...» (5) Implicit rejection Implies humans have had a minimal impact on global warming without saying so explicitly E.g., proposing a natural mechanism is the main cause of global warming»... anywhere from a major portion to all of the warming of the 20th century could plausibly result from natural causes according to these results» (6) Explicit rejection without quantification Explicitly minimizes or rejects that humans are causing global warming»... the global temperature record provides little support for the catastrophic view of the greenhouse effect» (7) Explicit rejection with quantification Explicitly states that humans are causing less than half of global warming «The human contribution to the CO2 content in the atmosphere and the increase in temperature is negligible in comparison with other sources of carbon dioxide emission»»

That gas an equivalent eK effect of adding 1000 ppm of CO2 to the lower atmosphere, about 10 x the Delta caused by CO2 increases since 1900, and about 20 x the estimated human impact oN CO2.

29 21.3 Climate Changes Human Impact on Climate Changes The Greenhouse Effect • The greenhouse effect is a natural warming of both Earth's lower atmosphere and Earth's surface from solar radiation being absorbed and emitted by the atmosEffect • The greenhouse effect is a natural warming of both Earth's lower atmosphere and Earth's surface from solar radiation being absorbed and emitted by the atmoseffect is a natural warming of both Earth's lower atmosphere and Earth's surface from solar radiation being absorbed and emitted by the atmosphere.

While the immediate impact of unusually warm or cool SSTs is usually felt by the atmosphere in the the immediate vicinity, geographically - remote atmospheric effects (known as «teleconnections «-RRB- can occur thousands of miles away.

The first order human forcings that are negative (e.g., sulphate emissions) and mask some of the CO2 forcing increase the risks of AGW; if they decrease because of Peak Oil, or economic changes, or are eliminated because of other adverse effects they have, the warming impact of the CO2 we're adding to the atmosphere will be even larger.

They are referring to a 1971 article written by climatologist Stephen Schneider, in which he did, indeed, make that prediction; however, as he himself now acknowledges, new evidence soon followed its publication that suggested that 1) the cooling impact of aerosols was not nearly as high as originally estimated and 2) there were many other gases in the atmosphere, including methane, CFCs and ozone, that had the same warming effect as carbon dioxide.

He also notes that it has a feedback effect, which it clearly does because heating of bodies of water increases evaporation, putting more WVP in the atmosphere, and increasing it's GH impact.

Did you not also find that the Clean Air Act of 1975 had a major impact on global temps by removing particulates from the atmosphere, thus removing a masking effect on global heating?

But some scientists argue that the impact of methane gas should be calculated over a shorter time period, because methane degrades quickly, and because gas drilling releases large quantities of methane into the atmosphere all at once, likely concentrating and amplifying the effect.

The forcing aspect of the indirect effect at the top of the atmosphere is discussed in Chapter 2, while the processes that involve feedbacks or interactions, like the «cloud lifetime effect» [6], the «semi-direct effect» and aerosol impacts on the large - scale circulation, convection, the biosphere through nutrient supply and the carbon cycle, are discussed here.

Assessing the Actual Temperature effect of Man - made CO2 In spite of the IPCC assertions that essentially all the warming since 1850 is wholly due to Man - made CO2 emissions, there is a wider range of published and peer - reviewed opinion that differs on the actual level of the impact of Man - made additions of CO2 to the atmosphere.

It had been thought that clouds had only a minor effect on temperature, but by looking specifically at the ocean not the atmosphere I have shown how clouds do have a significant impact.
