Sentences with phrase «celsius warming of the atmosphere»

THERE is little grey area or middle - ground in often heated debates, with the CAGW camp blaming the burning of fossil fuels, namely coal, not only for a > 1 degree celsius warming of the atmosphere since 1850, but on literally anything and everything that moves, shifts, spins or tilts upon contact with colourless, odourless, tasteless, non-reactive, trace gas and plant food carbon dioxide!

Co-researcher Retha Edens - Meier, Ph.D., a professor and research scientist in SLU's School of Education, using thermocouples, and a hypodermic tissue probe, learned that these dark petals are up to 3 degrees Celsius (5.4 degrees Fahrenheit) warmer than the surrounding atmosphere when they stand in a pool of Spring sunlight.

For instance, if nothing is done to reduce the amount of heat - trapping gasses, such as carbon dioxide, in the atmosphere, Earth could be 5 to 15 degrees Fahrenheit (3 to 8 degrees Celsius) warmer by the end of century, said Sivan Kartha, a senior scientist at the Stockholm Environment Institute.

Specifically, the draft report says that «equilibrium climate sensitivity» (ECS)-- eventual warming induced by a doubling of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which takes hundreds of years to occur — is «extremely likely» to be above 1 degree Celsius (1.8 degrees Fahrenheit), «likely» to be above 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.4 degrees Fahrenheit) and «very likely» to be below 6 degrees Celsius (10.8 Fahrenheit).

As I understand it (from the IPCC report and from Ramanathan en Feng, Sept 23 2008 in PNAS) stopping all emissions suddenly would cause about 1.6 degree Celsius of extra warming, because short - lived pollution would quickly be removed from the atmosphere.

Heavier deluges are expected on a warmer planet; each temperature rise of 1 degree Celsius increases the amount of moisture the atmosphere can hold by about 7 percent.

By measuring changes in winds, rather than relying upon problematic temperature measurements, Robert J. Allen and Steven C. Sherwood of the Department of Geology and Geophysics at Yale estimated the atmospheric temperatures near 10 km in the Tropics rose about 0.65 degrees Celsius per decade since 1970 — probably the fastest warming rate anywhere in Earth's atmosphere.

«The direct warming due to doubling CO2 levels in the atmosphere can be calculated to cause a warming of about one degree Celsius.

And according to emissions specialists like the Tyndall Centre's Kevin Anderson (as well as others), so much carbon has been allowed to accumulate in the atmosphere over the past two decades that now our only hope of keeping warming below the internationally agreed - upon target of 2 degrees Celsius is for wealthy countries to cut their emissions by somewhere in the neighborhood of 8 — 10 percent a year.27 The «free» market simply can not accomplish this task.

Is it: The troposphere, close to the surface air temperature, sea surface temperature, the temperature of the deep oceans??? It matters, because the amount of energy accumulation which may warm the atmosphere by 1 K (K = Kelvin, same as Celsius) is only enough to warm the oceans by about 0.001 K.

Patrick Brown and Ken Caldeira of the Carnegie Institution for Science say incorporating observational data of «Earth's top - of - atmosphere energy budget» shows the «warming projection for the end of the twenty - first century for the steepest radiative forcing scenario is about 15 per cent warmer (+0.5 degrees Celsius)... relative to the raw model projections reported by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.»

It concluded that due to the amount of human carbon emissions in the atmosphere, the planet has reached 3 to 7 degrees Celsius of global warming.

Lam and team used climate models from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change to examine the economic impacts of climate change on fish stocks and fisheries revenues under two different emissions scenarios: a high - emission scenario, in which the rates at which greenhouse gases are pumped into the Earth's atmosphere continue to rise unchecked, and a low - emission scenario under which ocean warming is kept below two degrees Celsius.

That list rated carbon - intensive resources or projects that could single - handedly pour enough carbon dioxide into the atmosphere to push the Earth's temperature above the catastrophic warming limit of 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.

In draft versions of the report, scientists said they are «virtually certain» that humanity's fossil - fuel - related emissions drove the warming of the Earth's atmosphere by about 1.44 degrees Fahrenheit (0.8 degrees Celsius) from 1901 to 2010.

If the earth is warmed by 1 degree Celsius, then the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere increases by 7 percent.

Another is, the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere is increasing because the atmosphere is getting warmer, and therefore the amount of water being dumped during these storms is larger because of the human, global - made — global warming, human - made global warming, which is now more than 1 degree Celsius.

Ridley asserted that «the net positive feedbacks from water vapor in the atmosphere [is] low, so that we face only 1 to 2 degrees Celsius of warming this century.»

An internal memo, sent by Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver's deputy minister Serge Dupont and released to Postmedia's Mike De Souza through access to information legislation, highlighted a section of a Conference Board of Canada report that said demand for fossil fuels could drop if countries attempt to prevent the planet's atmosphere from warming by more than two degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.

Globally averaged, Earth's atmosphere has warmed about 0.45 Celsius (about 0.82 ° F) during the almost one - third of a century that sensors aboard NOAA and NASA satellites have measured the temperature of oxygen molecules in the air.

As I understand it (from the IPCC report and from Ramanathan en Feng, Sept 23 2008 in PNAS) stopping all emissions suddenly would cause about 1.6 degree Celsius of extra warming, because short - lived pollution would quickly be removed from the atmosphere.

No more than one trillion metric tons of carbon could be burned and the resulting gases released into the atmosphere, the panel found, if planetary warming is to be kept below 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit (2 degrees Celsius) above the level of preindustrial times.

«Our own UAH measurement of a 0.1 degree Celsius increase per decade in the upper atmosphere was actually the warmest of all the datasets.»

Peters is a researcher who is on the record stating that he thinks there's little chance of holding warming to 2 degrees Celsius unless we come up with so - called «negative emissions» technologies that allow us to actively withdraw carbon dioxide from the atmosphere later in the century.
