It does indeed
cause some
warming of our planet, and we should thank Providence for that, because without the greenhouse
warming of CO2 and its
more potent partners,
water vapor and clouds, the earth would be too cold to sustain its current abundance of life.
Before you touch your face, make sure to wash your hands with soap and
warm water to clean your hands of bacteria that can
cause more blemishes.
Many lakes have been
warming with a changing climate, and clearer
water caused by invasive zebra mussels provides
more sunlight for algae to grow in thicker mats.
A rather straightforward calculation showed that doubling the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere... which would arrive in the late 21st century if no steps were taken to curb emissions... should raise the temperature of the surface roughly one degree C. However, a
warmer atmosphere would hold
more water vapor, which ought to
cause another degree or so of
warming.
Warmer air temperatures
cause more water containing the heavier isotopes oxygen - 18 or deuterium to evaporate from the surrounding ocean.
Moreover, the
warming makes the atmosphere damper (providing still
more water vapor) and may
cause the stratosphere to heat up, speeding the chemical reactions that destroy ozone.
A possible
cause for the accelerated Arctic
warming is the melting of the region's sea ice, which reduces the icy, bright area that can reflect sunlight back out into space, resulting in
more solar radiation being absorbed by the dark Arctic
waters.
Totten Glacier, the largest glacier in East Antarctica, is being melted from below by
warm water that reaches the ice when winds over the ocean are strong — a
cause for concern because the glacier holds
more than 11 feet of sea level rise and acts as a plug that helps lock in the ice of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet.
Indeed, conventional wisdom held that higher levels of aerosol pollution in the atmosphere should cool the earth's climate because aerosols can increase cloudiness; they not only reduce precipitation, which raises the
water content in clouds, but they also increase the size of the individual
water droplets, which in turn
causes more warming sunlight to be reflected back into space.
Another hypothesis is that rapidly
warming water in the Gulf of Maine, which includes Cape Cod Bay and
waters north to Nova Scotia, could be luring turtles farther north than they once ventured,
causing more to become trapped on their southbound journey when the
water cools in the fall.
The knock - on effects of such a transition would be huge — they would
cause marked increase of
warming at the pole, since open
water absorbs
more of the sun's energy than ice - covered seas.
If they begin to melt, however — particularly as they're exposed to
warmer ocean
water — the shelves become thinner and the grounding line begins to retreat backward,
causing the glacier to become less stable and making the ice shelf
more likely to break.
The clearest impact of
warming on drought is when higher temperatures
cause more evaporation and increase
water demand, as has happened with this drought.
A
warming atmosphere
causes more evaporation, meaning
more water is available for precipitation.
Warmer air also
causes more water to evaporate from the soil.
Remember that direct greenhouse effect from CO2 is quite small; the predictions rely on positive feedback from other effects (particularly
water vapour feedbacks, a far
more significant greenhouse gas) to
cause substantial
warming.
However, the surface
warming caused by human - produced increases in carbon dioxide, methane, and other greenhouse gases leads to a large increase in
water vapor, since a
warmer atmosphere holds
more moisture.
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.
Scientists working with the World Weather Attribution team revealed that climate change made the
warm waters that
caused the bleaching last year up to 175 times
more likely.
leave cap off make sure fill with antifreeze and start car allow it to
warm up and watch u should be able to see the
water flow this will allow the air to come out per air pockets are a big
cause... now buy a new radiator cap per this also small but
cause a big prob... also while watching the
water flow flow if bubbles stay present it could be head gasket this pushes combustion gas thru and can
cause antifreeze to dicipate hence why u keep having to put
more unless yur pump leaking or hose this the only other way u will get low on anti freeze... hope this helps it took me a while to figure out so i did nt have to spend lots of cash on a mech that wouldnt probably now this either top secrets lol... they wont tell u its all biz... hope this helps
«Note: LOTI provides a
more realistic representation of the global mean trends than dTs below; it slightly underestimates
warming or cooling trends, since the much larger heat capacity of
water compared to air
causes a slower and diminished reaction to changes.»
But since it is linear, if the temperature rises then the
water vapour will run away, because the higher temperature leads to
more water vapour which
causes more greenhouse
warming which leads to higher temperatures.
As the atmosphere
warms it can hold
more water; that additional
water vapor provides
more of the
warming than is directl
caused by CO2.
--- ignorance about atmospheric chemistry really shows here...... snip --- «Moreover, the CO2 that is supposedly
causing «catastrophic»
warming represents only 0.00035 of all the gases in the atmosphere (1.25 inches out of a 100 - yard football field), and proposals to control this vital plant nutrient ignore a far
more critical greenhouse gas:
water vapor.»
Simple physics dictates that with less sea ice there is magnified
warming of the Arctic due to powerful albedo feedback; this in turn reduces the equator to pole temperature gradient which slows the jet stream winds
causing them to become
more meridional; this combined with 4 %
more water vapor in the atmosphere (compared to 3 decades ago) is leading to much
more extremes in weather.
Warmer temperatures
causes more water vapor, which
causes more warmth, etc..
Warming must occur below the tropopause to increase the net LW flux out of the tropopause to balance the tropopause - level forcing; there is some feedback at that point as the stratosphere is «forced» by the fraction of that increase which it absorbs, and a fraction of that is transfered back to the tropopause level — for an optically thick stratosphere that could be significant, but I think it may be minor for the Earth as it is (while CO2 optical thickness of the stratosphere alone is large near the center of the band, most of the wavelengths in which the stratosphere is not transparent have a more moderate optical thickness on the order of 1 (mainly from stratospheric water vapor; stratospheric ozone makes a contribution over a narrow wavelength band, reaching somewhat larger optical thickness than stratospheric water vapor)(in the limit of an optically thin stratosphere at most wavelengths where the stratosphere is not transparent, changes in the net flux out of the stratosphere caused by stratospheric warming or cooling will tend to be evenly split between upward at TOA and downward at the tropopause; with greater optically thickness over a larger fraction of optically - significant wavelengths, the distribution of warming or cooling within the stratosphere will affect how such a change is distributed, and it would even be possible for stratospheric adjustment to have opposite effects on the downward flux at the tropopause and the upward flux a

However, higher temperatures do
cause an increased chance of heavy precipitation events, and it is likely that the flooding in some of this year's U.S. flooding disasters were significantly enhanced by the presence of
more water vapor in the air due to global
warming.
At the meeting this week, scientists are reporting
more on the extent of Arctic
warming — the
waters, particularly near Alaska and Russia, were up to 9 degrees Fahrenheit above average — and narrowing down the
causes.
Increased melting in the
warmer summer is
causing the internal drainage system of the ice sheet to accommodate
more melt -
water, without speeding up the flow of ice toward the oceans, the journal Nature reports.
Totten Glacier, the largest glacier in East Antarctica, is being melted from below by
warm water that reaches the ice when winds over the ocean are strong — a

more than 11 feet of sea level rise and acts as a plug that helps lock in the ice of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet.
Their
causes range from completely unpredictable events like volcanic eruptions (which have mainly local effects) to
more regular phenomena such as «El Niño» (a
warming of the surface
waters of the tropical Pacific that occurs every three to five years, temporarily affecting weather world - wide).
Also part of the explanation is the claim that
more humid air results in
more precipitation, but again I'm unclear on why
warmer air can
cause more water to be evaporated, but
warmer air does not by the same mechanism prevent the same
water from condensing.
Warmer water from the engine block
causes metal in the thermostat to expand which widens the opening allowing
more water to move from block to radiator for disposal.
Lake - effect snow happens when moisture from
warmer lake
waters mixes with cold air coming from the north,
causing more than 2 to 3 inches of snow an hour.
The paper discusses that melting ice will decrease the salinity of the ocean
waters around Antarctica, which will
cause decreased mixing with the relatively
warmer deep ocean
waters, reducing sea surface temperatures,
causing more sea ice to form.
The Charney Report stated that numerical modelers of global climate had estimated that the modest
warming caused by carbon dioxide would be greatly amplified by a
more powerful
warming from an increase in
water vapor, particularly in the tropics.
Such events are consistent with the effects of global
warming, which is expected to
cause more heavy precipitation because of a greater amount of
water vapor in the atmosphere.»
We do not need models to anticipate that significant rises in atmospheric CO2 concentrations harbor the potential to raise temperatures significantly (Fourier, 1824, Arrhenius, 1896), nor that the
warming will
cause more water to evaporate (confirmed by satellite data), nor that the additional
water will further
warm the climate, nor that this effect will be partially offset by latent heat release in the troposphere (the «lapse - rate feedback»), nor that greenhouse gas increases will
warm the troposphere but cool the stratosphere, while increases in solar intensity will
warm both — one can go on and on
The theory of AGW says that extra CO2
causes a minor
warming (less than 0.5 degree) which then
causes the atmosphere to absorb
more water vapour.
When fall arrives and cold air moves in again, all the energy stored in the
water gets released into the atmosphere, which, in turn,
causes the air above the
water to
warm up
more than usual.
This snowpack accumulation near the poles, which gets its
water via the Arctic and Antarctic oceans, that in turn rob it from equatorial latitudes of our oceans, also results in a reduction in the earth's spin axis moment of inertia and
causes the spin rate to increase as evidenced in the recent history of the rate at which Leap Seconds are added to our calendar (see Wysmuller's Toucan Equation for
more on this evidence that during this
warm time with much greater polar humidity, earlier seasonal, later seasonal and heavier snows are beginning to move
water vapor from the oceans to the poles to re-build the polar ice caps and lead us into a global cooling, while man - made CO2 continues to increase http://www.colderside.com/faq.htm).
A temperature rise (from whatever
cause) would evaporate
more water from the sea into the atmosphere, this would
cause more warming and set up a feedback of ever escalating temperatures and
water vapour levels.
Totten Glacier, the largest glacier in East Antarctica, is being melted from below by
warm water that reaches the ice when winds over the ocean are strong — a
cause for concern because the glacier holds
more than 11 feet of sea level rise and acts as a plug that helps lock in the ice...
Even though La Niña produces an overall cooling effect over the eastern Pacific, the associated strengthening of the subtropical high - pressure system and trade winds
causes warm water to accumulate
more in the western Pacific.
However, the surface
warming caused by human - produced increases in carbon dioxide, methane, and other greenhouse gases leads to a large increase in
water vapor, since a
warmer atmosphere holds
more moisture.
Note 1: A simple hotspot explanation summarized from this article: Increasing CO2 levels
causes atmosphere to
warm; then atmosphere
causes Earth's surface to
warm;
warming of oceans
cause evaporation; increased evaporation leads to
more water vapor in the upper troposphere;
water vapor is a powerful greenhouse gas that
warms the atmosphere even
more (positive
water vapor feedback); the Earth's surface
warms even
more; and then auto «repeat and rinse» until Earth's oceans boil, per an «expert.»
The theory is that increasing CO2 will
cause a small bit of
warming and this will increase evaporation rates (which occur fastest in the tropics) and dumps
more water vapour in the atmosphere (
water vapour is by far a
more potent greenhouse gas than CO2) and this feedback amplification is meant to continue until Earth settles down and finds a new equilibrium temperature.
(right) With the transition from dimming to brightening (1980s — 2000s), the enhanced greenhouse effect has no longer been masked,
causing more rapid
warming, stronger evaporation / LH, and an intensification of the
water cycle.
These effects are relatively well understood in the lowest level of the atmosphere, the troposphere, where increased
warming leads to greater evaporation,
causing more water vapour and so further
warming, although this is offset to some extent through the formation of clouds that reflect incoming sunlight back into space.
