Sentences with phrase «building global greenhouse effect»

John Broder has a story above the fold in Sunday's Times describing growing concerns of Defense Department planners over the potential destabilizing effect of the building global greenhouse effect.

Not exact matches

Built surfaces increase energy demand and heat - island effects, adversely impact air quality, and produce greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming.

Re 9 wili — I know of a paper suggesting, as I recall, that enhanced «backradiation» (downward radiation reaching the surface emitted by the air / clouds) contributed more to Arctic amplification specifically in the cold part of the year (just to be clear, backradiation should generally increase with any warming (aside from greenhouse feedbacks) and more so with a warming due to an increase in the greenhouse effect (including feedbacks like water vapor and, if positive, clouds, though regional changes in water vapor and clouds can go against the global trend); otherwise it was always my understanding that the albedo feedback was key (while sea ice decreases so far have been more a summer phenomenon (when it would be warmer to begin with), the heat capacity of the sea prevents much temperature response, but there is a greater build up of heat from the albedo feedback, and this is released in the cold part of the year when ice forms later or would have formed or would have been thicker; the seasonal effect of reduced winter snow cover decreasing at those latitudes which still recieve sunlight in the winter would not be so delayed).

Greenhouse effect causes excessive heat to build up in the earth's atmosphere causing global warming and affects the environment and health.

Its greenhouse - amplifying effect is built into the supercomputer climate models, and their predicted average global temperature increase would be substantially less without it.
