Investments in climate - change adaptation and mitigation can provide a wide range of co-benefits that enhance protection from current climate variability, decrease damages from air and water pollution, and advance sustainable development.

Other factors would include: — albedo shifts (both from ice > water, and from increased biological activity, and from edge melt revealing more land, and from more old dust coming to the surface...); — direct effect of CO2 on ice (the former weakens the latter); — increasing, and increasingly warm, rain fall on ice; — «stuck» weather systems bringing more and more warm tropical air ever further toward the poles; — melting of sea ice shelf increasing mobility of glaciers; — sea water getting under parts of the ice sheets where the base is below sea level; — melt water lubricating the ice sheet base; — changes in ocean currents -LRB-?)

We should make sure that the approximations converge, and if there are non-physical changes to make them converge (such as the incorrectly high viscosity of the air in current models), the effect of the non-physical changes should be thoroughly investigated and spelled out.

If La Nina / El Nino can affect global air temperatures in a period of a few years, than other changes in ocean currents (driven by AGW) can affect global atmospheric heat content in a few years.

La Nina / PDO is a perfect example where changes in ocean currents / ocean upwelling affect heat transfer between the phases of the system (and cool the air)-- on a human time scale.

14 OCEAN CURRENTS Cold and warm streams of water move through oceans (based on earth's rotation, differences in water temperature, and change in air pressure.

Either a big chunk of ice has been melting extraordinarily fast — which would cool the surrounding air — or somehow ocean currents would have changed in a way that favoured more rapid warming of deep water.

Older people are at much higher risk of dying during extreme heat events.136, 50,241,233 Pre-existing health conditions also make older adults susceptible to cardiac and respiratory impacts of air pollution25 and to more severe consequences from infectious diseases; 257 limited mobility among older adults can also increase flood - related health risks.258 Limited resources and an already high burden of chronic health conditions, including heart disease, obesity, and diabetes, will place the poor at higher risk of health impacts from climate change than higher income groups.25, 50 Potential increases in food cost and limited availability of some foods will exacerbate current dietary inequalities and have significant health ramifications for the poorer segments of our population (Ch.

«Willis builds a strawman Willis makes a logical fallacy known as the strawman fallacy here, when he says: The current climate paradigm says that the surface air temperature is a linear function of the «forcing»... Change in Temperature (∆ T) = Change in Forcing (∆ F) times Climate Sensitivity What he seems to have done is taking an equation relating to a simple energy balance model (probably from this Wikipedia entry) and applied it to the much more complex climate system.

The current climate paradigm says that the surface air temperature is a linear function of the «forcing»... Change in Temperature (∆ T) = Change in Forcing (∆ F) times Climate Sensitivity

Can changes in air temperature or cloud cover account for that much heat, or do we need to consider ocean currents?

«In addition, safeguarded farmland will continue providing healthy local produce and mitigating climate - change impacts of transporting food around the globe, while conserved wetlands improve the quality of our air and water and serve as buffers from potentially catastrophic storm surges predicted under current climate - change scenarios,» he added.

Sidorenko tells about the factors that affect Earth's rotation, both that short term variability is largely due to changes in the atmospheric air movements and ocean currents, and that the decades - long fluctuations have another source, speed of drift of the lithosphere.

The main purpose of the first phase (development of the RCPs) is to provide information on possible development trajectories for the main forcing agents of climate change, consistent with current scenario literature allowing subsequent analysis by both Climate models (CMs) and Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs).1 Climate modelers will use the time series of future concentrations and emissions of greenhouse gases and air pollutants and land - use change from the four RCPs in order to conduct new climate model experiments and produce new climate scenarios as part of the parallel phase.

If the energy budget of the air is maintained in balance by means of the weather systems neutralising changes in the power of the resistor effect in the air alone (more CO2) and changes in energy received from the oceans (ocean cycles) then the only remaining factor requiring consideration at any particular time is total throughput of energy from the sun (the electric current in the resistor analogy).

My impression is that it is the area of the cloud free subtropical high pressure cells of descending air that is a strong variable factor explaining the change in the temperature of the in - feed waters that become the westerly currents that occupy the tropical latitudes.

The previous suggested reason was that climate change was shifting storms and the powerful air currents known as the jet streams — including the one that traverses the United States — toward the poles, which in turn were driving the movement of the clouds.

In 1989 Maurice Strong was appointed Secretary General of the Earth Summit and in 1992, addressing Earth Summit II in Rio, he told the thousands of climate change delegates: It is clear that current lifestyles and consumption patterns of the affluent middle class — involving high meat intake, consumption of large amounts frozen and convenience foods, use of fossil fuels, appliances, home and work place air - conditioning, and suburbanhousing — are not sustainablIn 1989 Maurice Strong was appointed Secretary General of the Earth Summit and in 1992, addressing Earth Summit II in Rio, he told the thousands of climate change delegates: It is clear that current lifestyles and consumption patterns of the affluent middle class — involving high meat intake, consumption of large amounts frozen and convenience foods, use of fossil fuels, appliances, home and work place air - conditioning, and suburbanhousing — are not sustainablin 1992, addressing Earth Summit II in Rio, he told the thousands of climate change delegates: It is clear that current lifestyles and consumption patterns of the affluent middle class — involving high meat intake, consumption of large amounts frozen and convenience foods, use of fossil fuels, appliances, home and work place air - conditioning, and suburbanhousing — are not sustainablin Rio, he told the thousands of climate change delegates: It is clear that current lifestyles and consumption patterns of the affluent middle class — involving high meat intake, consumption of large amounts frozen and convenience foods, use of fossil fuels, appliances, home and work place air - conditioning, and suburbanhousing — are not sustainable.

In just a few million years from now, entire continents and oceans can be destroyed or created new, changing the flow of air and ocean currents and altering global weather patterns.

The ocean surface is not level, but «lumpy» for various reasons; local gravity, density (temperature, salinity), air pressure, currents, wind, outflow from rivers, rotation of the Earth, tides, changes in Moon's orbit, ocean cycles such as the Pacific Oscillation, North Atlantic Oscillation, and a few others I can't remember just now.

This is due to the slow changes in ocean currents which affect climate parameters such as air temperature and precipitation.

Reductions in sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions in recent years, for cleaner air, mainly in South East Asia due to a severe manufacturing sector slowdown and pollution policy changes (1,2) may attribute to current warming, since the phenomena called global dimming is involved.

Variations in SST due to variations in heat transport by ocean currents or diffusion into the thermocline are neglected while contributions by changes in evaporation, turbulent transfer, and surface radiation are estimated as being proportional to the anomalous air - sea temperature difference.

Whether or not Sonos will inspire change on its own is up in the air, but it definitely isn't going to hurt to have Sonos lend its voice to the current backlash.

As a comparison, 3 m ³ / hr / m ² is the best air leakage rate being proposed for dwellings in current consultations for changes to the Building Regulations, and this value is only proposed for 20013 / 14 in England & Wales.
