Again, it is found that a doubling
of carbon dioxide increases the temperature in the lower boundary layer by about one - half of one degree.
For example, when atmospheric concentrations of
carbon dioxide increased in geologic times to a certain unknown threshold, it went into the ocean and combined with positively charged calcium ions to form calcium carbonate — limestone.
You write: «And, speaking of short periods of time on which to be drawing conclusions: the anthropogenic global warming hypothesis, correlating
carbon dioxide increases with temperature increases, is based on only about 23 years — 1975 - 1998.
I would settle for you being able to point to 1 instance in the climate record where a significant peak in
carbon dioxide increases preceded a significant peak in global warming.
Further, «at no time in the last 20 million years have levels of
carbon dioxide increased as rapidly as at present,» Tripati adds; CO2 concentrations have climbed from 280 ppm to 387 ppm in the past 200 years.
And, speaking of short periods of time on which to be drawing conclusions: the anthropogenic global warming hypothesis,
correlating carbon dioxide increases with temperature increases, is based on only about 23 years — 1975 - 1998.
So isn't rapidly extracting and burning all that concentrated form of carbon and turning it into
dispersed carbon dioxide increasing the planet's entropy very quickly, thus taking us very quickly closer to thermodynamic equilibrium and ultimately the planet's death?
They posit a «feedback loop» in
which carbon dioxide increases temperatures, which increases the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere, which increases temperatures even more.
The transient climate response is the change in the global surface temperature, averaged over a 20 - year period, centered at the time of atmospheric carbon dioxide doubling, that is, at year 70 in a 1 % yr - 1
compound carbon dioxide increase experiment with a global coupled climate model.
That leads to an interesting question:
Because carbon dioxide increases have been bouncing around four - tenths of a percent per year for three decades, why do climate modelers insist on using the wrong number?
During the last 200 years, the concentration of atmospheric
carbon dioxide increased from about 275 parts per million to about 380 parts per million.
For example, he said, most participants recognized that
carbon dioxide increases global temperatures, yet mistakenly indicated that rising levels of atmospheric CO2 are expected to «reduce photosynthesis in plants.»
Such one - step oxygen formation could be happening now as
carbon dioxide increases in the region of the upper atmosphere, where high energy vacuum ultraviolet light from the Sun hits Earth or other planets.
You write: «And, speaking of short periods of time on which to be drawing conclusions: the anthropogenic global warming hypothesis,
correlating carbon dioxide increases with temperature increases, is based on only about 23 years -1975-1998.
Why does
the carbon dioxide increase as a result of the burning of fossil fuels, yet the oxygen which is used up in this burning is not significantly depleted?
As the concentration of
carbon dioxide increases in the atmosphere, the oceans warm beyond what corals can withstand, leading to coral bleaching and eventually to die - offs.
«Over the past several decades, we've seen temperatures warming and
carbon dioxide increasing, and our study found that this tropical forest has responded to that increase by producing more flowers.»
There is, therefore, much current interest in how coccolithophore calcification might be affected by climate change and ocean acidification, both of which occur as atmospheric
carbon dioxide increases.
Tsushima, Y., et al., 2006: Importance of the mixed - phase cloud distribution in the control climate for assessing the response of clouds to
carbon dioxide increase: a multi-model study.
PULLMAN, Wash. — Researchers led by a Washington State University biologist have found that arid areas, among the biggest ecosystems on the planet, take up an unexpectedly large amount of carbon as levels of
carbon dioxide increase in the atmosphere.
The pollution produced by
carbon dioxide increases the acidity of the oceans and affects the marine food chain.
