Not exact matches

The movement away from a traditional aerosol can not only improves the user experience by increasing efficiency and lowering weight but also demonstrates responsible packaging by replacing a potentially hazardous can with a pouch that can be disposed of in the regular waste stream.

This was due to a combination of factors: a less active sun, higher levels of cooling aerosols from volcanoes and Asian factories, and increased heat uptake by the oceans.

Simulating natural and humanmade climate drivers, scientists showed that the decline in rainfall is primarily a response to humanmade increases in greenhouse gases as well as a thinning of the ozone caused by humanmade aerosol emissions.

A model developed by Koren and his team showed that an increase in aerosols, even in relatively polluted conditions, should result in taller, larger clouds that rain more aggressively.

But the Berlin workshop concluded that the real figure is even higher — aerosols may have reduced global warming by as much as three - quarters, cutting increases by 1.8 °C.

Until now, they reckoned that aerosols reduced greenhouse warming by perhaps a quarter, cutting increases by 0.2 °C.

-- It is practically proven that tropospheric aerosols have (far) less influence on temperature than expected by current models, see my comment on aerosols here and the lack of increase in insolation, despite a huge reduction of aerosols in Europe, according to Philipona ea.

Analyses of the ground and aircraft data performed by Setyan et al. (2012), Shilling et al. (2013), and Kleinman et al. (2016) showed that organic aerosol production increased when human - caused emissions from Sacramento mixed with air rich in isoprene, an organic compound wafting from many plants that originate in the area's foothills.

But, given the revised aerosol forcing estimates given in the AR5 WG1 SOD, there is no justification at all for increasing the prior for aerosol indirect forcing prior by adding either -0.25 or -0.5 W / m ^ 2.

The potential risks around sulfate aerosol solar geoengineering include alteration of regional precipitation patterns, its effects on human health, and the potential damage to Earth's ozone layer by increased stratospheric sulfate particles.

The AGU statement says that the «not natural» climate changes being recorded — perhaps best exemplified (albeit, I'll admit, overly simple) by the cascade of recent years all warmer than anything else since 1850 — are «best explained» by the increasing accumulation of man - made greenhouse gases and aerosols.

Let me try to be more explicit: if you want to assume (or, if you prefer, conclude) that aerosols produced by the increased burning of fossil fuels after WWII had a cooling effect that essentially cancelled out the warming that would be expected as a result of the release of CO2 produced by that burning, then it's only logical to conclude that there exists a certain ratio between the warming and cooling effects produced by that same burning.

Current growth in forcings is dominated by increasing CO2, with potentially a small role for decreases in reflective aerosols (sulphates, particularly in the US and EU) and increases in absorbing aerosols (like soot, particularly from India and China and from biomass burning).

The important point here is that a small external forcing (orbital for ice - ages, or GHG plus aerosols & land use changes in the modern context) can be strongly amplified by the positive feedback mechanism (the strongest and quickest is atmospheric water vapor - a strong GHG, and has already been observed to increase.

«In a scenario of zeroed CO2 and sulfate aerosol emissions, whether the warming induced by specified constant concentrations of non-CO2 greenhouse gases could slow the CO2 decline following zero emissions or even reverse this trend and cause CO2 to increase over time is assessed.

Such factors include increased greenhouse gas concentrations associated with fossil fuel burning, sulphate aerosols produced as an industrial by - product, human - induced changes in land surface properties among other things.

But there are offsets between GHGs / aerosol combinations and solar activity (especially as derived by Hoyt and Schatten), which may have been underestimated (see Stott e.a. 2003) If one simply should compare only the influence of solar (by H&S or even LBB) with the increase in heat content of the oceans, one can get a similar conclusion: that solar is the main driving force in ocean heat content.

If solar is increased by feedbacks (like cloud cover), that will give the same fit of past temperature data at the cost of combined GHG + aerosol.

Regarding fine aerosols, as suggested by David, there are huge increases in industrial activity in SE Asia since 1975, but that is a rather linear expansion, where SO2 emissions are in lockstep with more dirtier aerosols.

The bottom two panels demonstrate that this weakening is due entirely to the anthropogenic forcings — greenhouse gas increases offset by sulfate aerosol effects.

... we strongly support Delworth and Knutson's (2000) contention that this high - latitude warming event represents primarily natural variability within the climate system, rather than being caused primarily by external forcings, whether solar forcing alone (Thejll and Lassen, 2000) or a combination of increasing solar irradiance, increasing anthropogenic trace gases, and decreasing volcanic aerosols.

Thus, the case for the cooling from 1940 to 1970 being caused by increased aerosols is not supported by the available measurements.

These warming trends are consistent with the response to increasing greenhouse gases and sulphate aerosols and likely can not be explained by natural internal climate variations or the response to changes in natural external forcing (solar irradiance and volcanoes).

After 1940 there is another AMO explicable cooling phase that is always explained away by a magical process involving the increase in light reflecting aerosols.

If all of the cooling in the usa from 1950 to 1975 is caused by increasing aerosols (Schneider et al) then all of the warming since 1975 is caused by decreasing aerosols.

You can make them go down just as easily by increasing that aerosol forcing within it's uncertainty bounds and the earlier «ice - age» model projections did exactly that — using surface temperature as a target.

But the decrease in «aerosols» caused by All those spanking new scrubbers we installed from the 70s to 90s all over the world could have been the big contributors to the increase in temp in those decades.

DK12 compounded their erroneous analysis by attempting to calculate the net climate feedback based solely on their estimated 2002 - 2008 OHC increase for the uppermost 700 meters, and only considering the CO2 and solar radiative forcings, ignoring the significant aerosol forcing, for example.

One theory of many behind the solar / volcanic connection is that MUONS, a by product of galactic cosmic rays can affect the calderas of certain volcanoes by changing the chemical composition of the matter within the silica rich magma creating aerosols which increase pressure in the magma chamber and hence lead to an explosive eruption.

While SO2 emissions may have had some small role in that period, they can't have a role in the current standstill, as the increase of emissions in SE Asia is compensated by the decrease in emissions in the Western world, thus there is hardly any increase in cooling aerosols while CO2 levels are going up at record speed and temperatures are stalled.

The (lack of) skill of the current GCM's always wondered me and I have been suspicious about the use of human aerosols as a convenient «tuning knob» to fit the past, and even so not so good, especially not in current times where the reduction of aerosols in the Western world is near fully compensated by the increase in SE Asia.

Science published a study in 1971 by S. Ichtiaque Rasool and Stephen H. Shneider titled «Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide and Aerosols: Effects of Large Increases on Global Climate.»

Note also, having aerosols a cooling means that your relationship between CO2 and temperature in the ice - cores is blown away; dust levels increase by three orders of magnitude going from warming to cooling, and dust changes occur before temperature changes, which occur before CO2 changes.

McCusker et al. (2012) performed an experiment in which global - mean surface temperature was held constant by increasing CO2 while simultaneously increasing sulfate aerosol... to compensate.

For the current climate, we calculate the reduction in wet deposition by dust radiative forcing and find that the aerosol burden is increased only modestly.

Barrett also predicted that this increase in CO2 «should increase the temperature by 0.3 °C; this trend might be detectable by careful analysis unless it is offset by other effects, such as those of aerosols».

However, I am not a «warmista» by any means — we do not know how to properly quantify the albedo of aerosols, including clouds, with their consequent negative feedback effects in any of the climate sensitivity models as yet — and all models in the ensemble used by the «warmistas» are indicating the sensitivities (to atmospheric CO2 increase) are too high, by factors ranging from 2 to 4: which could indicate that climate sensitivity to a doubling of current CO2 concentrations will be of the order of 1 degree C or less outside the equatorial regions (none or very little in the equatorial regions)- i.e. an outcome which will likely be beneficial to all of us.

(3) Is supported by the period of» global brightening» which occurred roughly simultaneously with significant reductions in aerosol emissions (around 1985), and which ended when Eastern emissions began to increase.

The slight downward trend in temperature from about 1945 until about 1975 is due to the increase in Sulfate Aerosols (SO4), largely produced by burning coal that contains sulfur.

Svensmark et al., 2017 https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-017-02082-2 «In conclusion, a mechanism by which ions condense their mass onto small aerosols and thereby increase the growth rate of the aerosols, has been formulated theoretically and shown to be in good agreement with extensive experiments.

Here we find a long list of climate components that «are now changing at rates and in patterns that are not natural and are best explained by the increased atmospheric abundances of greenhouse gases and aerosols generated by human activity during the 20th century.»

tempterrrain, agreed, this is an underestimate by neglecting lag in an accelerating forcing, and neglecting possibly further increasing aerosol effects.

This study of course does not take away very different concerns related to stratospheric aerosol SRM geoengineering, like possible damage to the ozone layer [which in turn would be good news if you hate waiting for that spring tan] and the fact that allowing CO2 concentrations to keep rising presents other problems, like the necessity to never stop with the active process of SRM geoengineering, and increasing ecological damage caused by ocean acidification.

7.4.5 Impact of Cosmic Rays on Aerosols and Clouds 43 44 High solar acti0vity leads to variations in the strength and three - dimensional structure of the heliosphere, 45 which reduces the flux of galactic cosmic rays (GCR) impinging upon the Earth's atmosphere by increasing 46 the deflection of low energy GCR.

Their belief came about because the optical physics of aerosols, originating from Sagan and introduced to climate modelling by his ex-students, Lacis and Hansen in 1974 at GISS / NAS, predicts the cloud part of «global dimming», the increase of albedo by aerosols supposed to hide present CO2 - AGW.

Similarly, atmospheric aerosols, generally human - caused, can increase albedo and cool the planet — especially if they also increase cloudiness by providing condensation nuclei for WV.

To the extent the aerosol cooling estimates in the climate models are accurate, potential intensity theory (discussed in the previous post) implies that hurricane intensities shouldn't have started to increase at all until the 1980s or 1990s, even though by that point the planet had warmed quite a bit.
