Sentences with phrase «depending on average global temperature»

It is well - established in the scientific community that increases in atmospheric CO2 levels result in global warming, but the magnitude of the effect may vary depending on average global temperature.

Not exact matches

Their stock prices and business plans depend on digging up and burning these reserves, which would lead to an unsustainable increase in the average global temperature of between 6 and 12 degrees or more.

For instance, the canvas buckets give a temperature up to 1ºC cooler in some circumstances (that depend on season and location — the biggest differences come over warm water in winter, global average is about 0.4 ºC cooler) than the modern insulated buckets.

But even then the «fraction of the anomaly due to global warming» is somewhat arbitrary because it depends on the chosen baseline for defining the anomaly — is it the average July temperature, or typical previous summer heat waves (however defined), or the average summer temperature, or the average annual temperature?

In terms of the global average, temperatures were probably colder than present day (depending on estimates of latitude dependence and seasonality in response patterns).

Crop yields are likely to increase at higher latitudes under some scenarios of global average temperature increase - and depending on the crop.

The best projections show that average global temperatures are likely to increase 3.1 - 7.2 ° F (1.8 - 4.0 ° C) by the end of the century depending on the amount of carbon emissions.

On current trends, the IPCC finds, emissions will continue to soar and global average temperatures will rise between 2.5 and 7.8 degrees Celsius before the century is out, depending on the pace of economic growth and the sensitivity of the climate system to COOn current trends, the IPCC finds, emissions will continue to soar and global average temperatures will rise between 2.5 and 7.8 degrees Celsius before the century is out, depending on the pace of economic growth and the sensitivity of the climate system to COon the pace of economic growth and the sensitivity of the climate system to CO2.

However, over long time periods, the variation of the global average temperature with CO2 concentration depends on various factors such as the placement of the continents on Earth, the functionality of ocean currents, the past history of the climate, the orientation of the Earth's orbit relative to the Sun, the luminosity of the Sun, the presence of aerosols in the atmosphere, volcanic action, land clearing, biological evolution, etc..

Hence, there is probably no single curve relating the global average temperature to CO2 concentration, but rather, a set of curves that depend on the above factors.

If we were to seriously depend on these well - known, top professionals that supply a seriously large part of the world with temperature data upon which, if not in whole, but at least in majort part, the global average temperatures are calculated, it brings to mind too many serious and disturbing questions that I'm not going to ask a single one.

The United Nations» Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, a global effort involving hundreds of climate scientists and the governments of 100 nations, projected in 2001 that, depending on the rate of greenhouse gas emissions and general climate sensitivities, the global average temperature would rise 2.5 to 10.4 degrees Fahrenheit between 1990 and 2100.

Or that average global temperatures could increase by as much as 11.5 °F by 2100, depending on the level of future greenhouse gas emissions, according to recent climate models.

But the actual change of the global mean temperature in the last 77 years (in average) is so tiny that the place - dependent noise still safely beats the «global warming trend», yielding an ambiguous sign of the temperature trend that depends on the place.»

They found that the warming in the data - sparse regions was progressing faster than the global average (especially during the past couple of years) and that when they included the data that they derived for these regions in the computation of the global average temperature, they found the global trend was higher than previously reported — just how much higher depended on the period over which the trend was calculated.

The IPCC report defines four timeline scenarios (Representative Concentration Pathways or RCPs) plotting amounts of carbon burned and resulting global average temperatures, depending on when global greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) peak and then decline.

However, what McKitrick et al. tried to show is that the global temperature metric is meaningless and tried to imply that you could find just about any trend you wanted (including negative trend) depending on how you decided to take the average.
