Sentences with phrase «cause of the additional warming»

Not exact matches

The additional warming caused a near - doubling of melt rates in the twenty - year period from 1995 to 2015 compared to previous times when the same blocking and ocean conditions were present.

The release of that carbon can, in turn, cause additional warming and the release of more carbon, something scientists call a positive feedback loop.

Even allowing for the relative strength of the effects, CO2 is still responsible for two - thirds of the additional warming caused by all the greenhouse gases emitted as a result of human activity.

And that additional water vapour would in turn cause further warming - this being a positive feedback, in which carbon dioxide acts as a direct regulator of temperature, and is then joined in that role by more water vapour as temperatures increase.

One possible cause might be the 16 - year old, slightly mechanically stretched timing chain that gets the «right» amount of additional elongation from the warm engine that puts the engine timing and more specifically the ignition timing out.

However, the Management and Guest Contributors at WUWT accept the basic truth that CO2, water vapor, and other «greenhouse gases» are responsible for an ~ 33ºC boost in mean Earth temperature, that CO2 levels are rising, partly due to our use of fossil fuels, that land use has changed Earth's albedo, and that this human actvity has caused additional warming.

As the atmosphere warms it can hold more water; that additional water vapor provides more of the warming than is directl caused by CO2.

Global average surface temperatures are not expected to change significantly although temperatures at higher latitudes may be expected to decrease to a modest extent because of a reduction in the efficiency of meridional heat transport (offsetting the additional warming anticipated for this environment caused by the build - up of greenhouse gases).

The oft - cited evidence for solar irradiance as an additional cause of the same warming has never been confirmed and remains an untested hypothesis.

If the temperature doesn't decline with height in that layer (perhaps because of solar heating), it is still the case that increasing the LW optical thickness will, by concentrating the source of OLR into a yet thinner layer at the top of the atmosphere, remove some of the cooling of the lower part of the original OLR source (by adding additional downward LW flux from above, replacing the darkness of space), thus tending to cause warming there.

The Nature commentary by Penner et al. on which this argument is based actually says that on top of the global warming caused by carbon dioxide, other short - lived pollutants (such as methane and black carbon) cause an additional warming approximately 65 % as much as CO2, and other short - lived pollutants (such as aerosols) also cause some cooling.

Here we would like to try to distinguish between warming in the nocturnal boundary layer due to a redistribution of heat and warming due to the accumulation of heat... It is likely that the observed warming in minimum temperature, whether caused by additional greenhouse forcing or land use changes or other land surface dynamics, is reflecting a redistribution of heat by turbulence - not an accumulation of heat.

Mr. Gates may be absolutely correct that when the arctic is warmed there results some (serious) additional warming: however, if that warming is not caused overwhelmingly by anthropogenic sources, then — at the very least — we can halt the alarmist cry over CO2 emissions and start the important work of science.

So even if increased infrared radiation caused by man does try to warm the surface of the oceans those processes will increase immediately and neutralise at least the majority of any extra warming from additional down welling anthropogenic infrared radiation.

An increase of atmospheric CO2 causes ocean warming, which causes a release of dissolved CO2, which causes additional warming.

As the ocean and airs warm, these carbon stores release causing a massive spike of additional greenhouse gasses to hit the atmosphere and setting off ever - more - rampant heating.

«We evaluate to what extent the temperature rise in the past 100 years was a trend or a natural fluctuation and analyze 2249 worldwide monthly temperature records from GISS (NASA) with the 100 - year period covering 1906 - 2005 and the two 50 - year periods from 1906 to 1955 and 1956 to 2005... The data document a strong urban heat island eff ect (UHI) and a warming with increasing station elevation... About a quarter of all the records for the 100 - year period show a fall in temperatures... that the observed temperature records are a combination of long - term correlated records with an additional trend, which is caused for instance by anthropogenic CO2, the UHI or other forcings... As a result, the probabilities that the observed temperature series are natural have values roughly between 40 % and 90 %, depending on the stations characteristics and the periods considered.»

«The climate alarmists maintain that man's emissions of CO2 caused such a rapid increase world - wide, and further increases in CO2 will create additional catastrophic global warming.

Although there is considerable scientific evidence that limiting warming to 1.5 degrees C is necessary to prevent very dangerous warming, a fact implicit in the recent Paris Agreement in which nations agreed to work to keep warming as close as possible from exceeding 1.5 degrees C additional warming, if the international community seeks to limit warming to 2 degrees C it must assure that global emissions do not exceed the number of tons of CO2 emissions that will raise atmospheric concentrations to levels that will cause warming of 2 degrees C.

Prolonged thinning of the ablation zone (as shown in Fig. 8) causes an additional warming for these areas, which should be lower in altitude if the topography could evolve during the simula - tion.

There is plenty of doubt about how much additional warming our enhancement of the greenhouse effect may cause, but there is no legitimate doubt about the fact of the greenhouse effect.

There is new information that lack of sea ice causes storms to produce larger waves and more coastal erosion.5 An additional contributing factor is that coastal bluffs that were «cemented» by permafrost are beginning to thaw in response to warmer air and ocean waters, and are therefore more vulnerable to erosion.22 Standard defensive adaptation strategies to protect coastal communities from erosion such as use of rock walls, sandbags, and riprap have been largely unsuccessful.23 There remains considerable uncertainty, however, about the spatial patterns of future coastal erosion.

It is true that adding more of the greenhouse gas affected by the specific wavelength (s) of IRR will cause more warming but that increase in warming diminishes exponentially which renders any increase from additional gas insignificant.

The smaller the rate of warming, the smaller the possibility that a separate, additional cause of warming is being missed, and that, therefore, greenhouse gases account for most or all of the total amount of warming.

Most non-scientists are misled by the impression (not corrected by the pro-wraming crowd) that CO2 acts in a linear fashion, with each additional amount (ppm) causing a commensurate amount of warming.

Increasing greenhouse gases cause a top of the atmosphere (TOA) imbalance in energy, which can only be rebalanced (preserving the first law of thermodynamics) by the climate warming, and radiating enough additional IR to balance what energy is coming in.

The team believes that global climate change has caused additional warming to the subsea permafrost by raising the temperature of river run - off entering the ocean.

Not only does it confirm a root cause, but it yields an additional benefit of a confidence level: when 29 out of 30 experts vote that the «global warming» is «catastrophic anthropogenic», they have reached that conclusion on a 97 % confidence level.

The lack of warming for more than a decade — indeed, the smaller - than - predicted warming over the 22 years since the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) began issuing projections — suggests that computer models have greatly exaggerated how much warming additional CO2 can cause.

And that additional water vapour would in turn cause further warming - this being a positive feedback, in which carbon dioxide acts as a direct regulator of temperature, and is then joined in that role by more water vapour as temperatures increase.

Quigley: «Thermal inertia of the ocean is the cause of the 1 °F (0.5 - 0.6 °C) additional warming in the pipeline.

(That cooler upwelled water is then warmed by the La Niña - caused additional sunlight as it travels from east to west across the tropical Pacific, and it collects in an area east of Indonesia called the west Pacific Warm Pool, where it warms the ocean heat content of the tropical Pacific.)

You presented the theory that during an La Nina the ocean water is warming by additional sunshine (because of a lack clouds caused by trade winds) and that this energy is released to the atmosphere (and also to other oceans) during an El Nino.

I have absolutely no doubt that additional CO2 in the atmosphere will cause warming (in must), and I agree that at least some of the warming measured over the past 60 + years is most likely due to GHG forcing.
