The background atmospheric sounds start to develop when the house becomes more «alive», with things moving, deliberate glitches appearing and lighting changes, so the sounds could be coming from the house itself, coming from inside the characters mind, or perhaps the noise is just part of the soundtrack and not from the game's environment at all.

Because melting is so much more energetically efficient than sublimation, the main way that moderate changes in atmospheric conditions — including air temperature — affect ablation is through changing the number of hours during which melting occurs, and the amount of energy available for melting.

Seeing this as a baseline, positive CO2 feedback from temperature changes, or a running out of capacity for greater uptake from CO2 accumulation, would be seen as adding more CO2 to the air in addition to anthropogenic releases, but it would have to surpass some level before it would result in a total atmospheric accumulation of CO2 greater than anthropogenic emissions (first, as a rate, and later, cummulative change).

So if there were, say, a decadal - scale 1 % -2 % reduction in cloud cover that allowed more SW radiation to penetrate into the ocean (as has been observed since the 1980s), do you think this would have an impact of greater magnitude on the heat in the oceans than a change of, say, +10 ppm (0.00001) in the atmospheric CO2 concentration?

The first is climate inertia — on very many levels, from fossil lock - in emissions (decades), ocean - atmospheric temperature inertia (yet more decades), Earth system temperature inertia (centuries to millennia) to ecological climate impact inertia (impacts becoming worse over time under a constant stress)-- all this to illustrate anthropogenic climate change, although already manifesting itself, is still very much an escalating problem for the future.

One is that climate change is altering the pattern of atmospheric circulation, causing more ozone to be carried away from the tropics.

Again (don't tell Santer) it's the Sun stupid: changes in UV light has a direct influence on the stratosphere due to more Ozone and this results in greater warming of the upper stratosphere and swirling, wind - driving, convective atmospheric vortices that are known as weather.

The answer is: almost nothing for more than 10 years... The lack of any statistically significant warming for over a decade has made it more difficult for the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) and its supporters to demonize the atmospheric gas CO2 which is released when fossil fuels are burned.»
