Sentences with phrase «degree of amplification»

But even if it were true that climate change could «amplify» «poverty» and «economic shock» we are no better informed about the degree of amplification for any given amount of global warming.

Not exact matches

I assume you are using a climate sensitivity of 3 degrees, but the amplification values seem a little high.

Climate hard - liners in developing countries have long argued that keeping global temperatures to a 2 degree C rise over pre-industrial levels was simply too hot, and would risk unleashing many of the worst destabilizing impacts of global warming — including perhaps the triggering of cascading effects and warming amplifications within nature, such as the melting of Arctic permafrost, that could release more greenhouse gases and push temperatures even higher.

If you take the global shift as 6 degrees, that gives you a 36 % amplification... and that is roughly what the ice - core literature of two or more decades assumes.

So, what you must be proposing is that this amplification of warming at altitude relative to the surface happens to a greater degree than the models predict.
