Sentences with phrase «atmospheric warming the problem»

Given the new found importance of aerosols on atmospheric warming the problem has become even more pressing.»

Not exact matches

Warmer atmospheric air means more water vapor, which is itself a greenhouse gas, exacerbating the problem.

They were Jorge Sarmiento, an oceanographer at Princeton University who constructs ocean - circulation models that calculate how much atmospheric carbon dioxide eventually goes into the world's oceans; Eileen Claussen, executive director of the Pew Center for Global Climate Change in Washington, D.C.; and David Keith, a physicist with the University of Calgary in Alberta who designs technological solutions to the global warming problem.

Regional trends are notoriously problematic for models, and seems more likely to me that the underprediction of European warming has to do with either the modeled ocean temperature pattern, the modelled atmospheric response to this pattern, or some problem related to the local hydrological cycle and boundary layer moisture dynamics.

Meanwhile, here on earth, we still have the same remaining problem of our trapped thermal atmospheric content that can not escape away from Earth's self contained system that is maintained by the greenhouse gases that surrounds the earth that is said to be increasing in content, and because it increasing in content, the thermal kinetic capacity (global warming potential of certain said gases will rise with it.)

Imagine a world where atmospheric convection provides abundant clean energy, where precipitation is produced where and when required and where global warming is not a problem.

In a world suffering from briskly advancing population growth, skyrocketing atmospheric CO2 concentrations, and consequential Global Warming, the formation of Terra Preta anew (Terra Preta Nova) could provide the largest signifiicant double whammy to these problems.

Moreover, notice that many sceptics do not take issue with the propositions that CO2 is a greenhouse gas, much of the increase in atmospheric CO2 can be attributed to industry, that this warming will likely cause a change in the climate, and that this may well cause problems.

Several of the most disconcerting atmospheric problems include smog and air pollution, which are responsible for a higher incidence of respiratory diseases and death; acid rain, which contaminates numerous other ecosystems such as watersheds and forests; and finally, one particularly serious issue, climate de-stabilization caused by the accelerated rate of global warming.

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.

Part of problem is that even with current levels of emissions, the inertia of the climate system means that not all of the warming those emissions will cause has happened yet — a certain amount is «in the pipeline» and will only rear its head in the future, because the ocean absorbs some of the heat, delaying the inherent atmospheric warming for decades to centuries.

The problem I see though, is that for over a decade we have not really had atmospheric warming, and yet the oceans have been warming.

I have a problem with the notion that increasing CO2 content is a cause of atmospheric warming.

Current atmospheric CO2 levels are higher than at any time since at least a million years ago, and there is no notable scientific dissent from the consensus position that global warming is happening, is human caused, and presents a global problem.

''... with regard to the IPCC claim that «the increase in atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases (including CO2) is the driving force for climate warming,» they note the following four problems:

Thinking about the problem in terms of temperature increase for a doubling of atmospheric CO2 (which we will probably exceed with current policies and energy trends), even studies that reinforce the skeptical narrative of low mean climate sensitivity leaves some chance of warming greatly exceeding international goals and historical boundaries (say a 5 percent chance of warming exceeding 4 °C).

(b) Attributing the recent period of warm winters to an increase in strength of atmospheric circulation (in reference to Scherhag) only pushes the problem one stage back, because one should still have to account for the change in circulation.

As indicated above, TMin is a poor proxy for atmospheric heat content, and it inflicts this problem on the popular TMean temperature record which is then a poor proxy for greenhouse warming too.

The blanket - exemption treatment is based on increasingly questionable assertions that wind turbines reduce atmospheric carbon dioxide levels that supposedly cause global warming, climate change, extreme weather events and an amazing number of dog, people, Italian pasta, prostitution and other exaggerated or imaginary problems, plus others that exist only in computer models whose forecasts and scenarios bear no resemblance to Real World conditions or events.

A problem that the AGW alarmists could never solve or explain is how CO2 could be causing global warming when the historical record shows that rises in atmospheric CO2 follow temperature rises, not the other way around.

This is borne out by the Eco-Label criteria which found that the four environmental problems to which paints contribute the most are: • petroleum consumption for the production of titanium dioxide, resins and solvents • global warming through emissions of CO2 and VOCs resulting respectively from titanium dioxide production and from solvent paint application • atmospheric acidification due to CO2 and sulphur from titanium dioxide processing • discharges of waste into water due to titanium dioxide processing.

One reason for my problems is that Willis often makes obvious errors like in the recent post where he discussed the atmospheric heat engine putting the warm side to the tropics (right) and the cold side to the poles (wrong).

The Stop the destruction of rainforests and together with a well - planned reforestation, are the only winning strategy for a permanent solution to the problems of global warming and atmospheric balance of the planet.

Pekka «One reason for my problems is that Willis often makes obvious errors like in the recent post where he discussed the atmospheric heat engine putting the warm side to the tropics (right) and the cold side to the poles (wrong).
