Sentences with phrase «atmospheric warming caused by greenhouse gas»

Making roads more reflective and thereby sending more sunlight back to space helps cool the planet, offsetting some of the atmospheric warming caused by greenhouse gas emissions.

Because a cool ocean absorbs atmospheric heat more readily, that has partially offset the atmospheric warming caused by greenhouse gases.

Not exact matches

Already, atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide, the leading greenhouse gas, are approaching 400 ppm, and at least the amount of warming caused by that level is likely by century's end.

The value of measuring atmospheric temperatures globally becomes clear when we recall that the untested hypothesis behind global warming projects that greenhouse gas warming in the atmosphere will cause the surface to warm by 6 degrees Fahrenheit (with a probable error of plus or minus 3 degrees).

@Edim: There is a greenhouse effect, caused by the radiatively «inactive» atmospheric gases (N2, O2), which can not radiate to space and therefore «warm» the atmosphere by insulating it from the cold of space.

There is a greenhouse effect, caused by the radiatively «inactive» atmospheric gases (N2, O2), which can not radiate to space and therefore «warm» the atmosphere by insulating it from the cold of space.

We do not need models to anticipate that significant rises in atmospheric CO2 concentrations harbor the potential to raise temperatures significantly (Fourier, 1824, Arrhenius, 1896), nor that the warming will cause more water to evaporate (confirmed by satellite data), nor that the additional water will further warm the climate, nor that this effect will be partially offset by latent heat release in the troposphere (the «lapse - rate feedback»), nor that greenhouse gas increases will warm the troposphere but cool the stratosphere, while increases in solar intensity will warm both — one can go on and on

Since water vapor is the most important greenhouse gas, the growth in its concentration caused by atmospheric warming exerts an additional forcing, causing temperature to rise further.

(1) Because of a growing concern over the possible consequences of global warming, which may be caused in part by increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide (a major greenhouse gas), and also because of the need for accurate estimates of carbon dioxide emissions, the Energy Information Administration (EIA) has developed factors for estimating the amount of carbon dioxide emitted as a result of U.S. coal consumption.

I can't find the context of the text fragment used as an example of the «minimizes» subset of Level 6 in Table 2 but the most likely reading of the fragment by itself is that it assumes that humans are causing atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations to increase and that this is causing or contributing to global warming, so the fragment does say (or at least imply) something about human attribution.

The video begins by accepting that CO2 acts as a greenhouse gas and that increased atmospheric concentrations can cause some incremental warming, on the order of magnitude of 1C per doubling of concentrations.
