Sentences with phrase «different warming levels»

Among them, to you Leonard, are: what do you think constitutes «small AGW» and catastrophic AGW, and to what extent have you reviewed the biological / ecological literature that address the ecosystem's functional sensitivity of different warming levels (sufficient CO2 - driven ocean acidification alone likely qualifies as «catastrophic» — or are you separating warming from the other effects of high CO2?)

Polar amplication is of global concern due to the potential effects of future warming on ice sheet stability and, therefore, global sea level (see Sections 5.6.1, 5.8.1 and Chapter 13) and carbon cycle feedbacks such as those linked with permafrost melting (see Chapter 6)...

They result in different predicted atmospheric CO2 levels by year 2100, which are then used together with the assumed 2xCO2 climate sensitivity, to arrive at a net GH warming expected by year 2100.

I will note that this is also a very different level of certainty from the «it is likely that increased CO2 will lead to sufficient warming to cause problems for humanity and ecosystems», which I will posit is likely, but if CO2 went up to 600 ppm and temperatures in 2100 only increased by a degree or so, I would be very surprised but would not feel like the laws of physics had been repealed.

Our analysis combines published relationships between cumulative carbon emissions and warming, together with two possible versions of the relationship between warming and sea level, to estimate global and regional sea - level commitments from different emissions totals.

Steven, mostly for me are the lines of evidence that indicate that in the past it was about 3 - 5 C warmer than now, several different times, and sea levels were much higher than now during those times of warmth.

... 2014 Won't Be Statistically Different from 2010 For a «record» temperature to be statistically significant, it has to rise above its level of measurement error, of which there are many for thermometers:... A couple hundredths of a degree warmer than a previous year (which 2014 will likely be) should be considered a «tie», not a record....

Warming might be the relevant factor, but we don't know the relative contributions by the different natural and anthropogenic components to warming, so saying that warming causes sea level rise doesn't give us much inforWarming might be the relevant factor, but we don't know the relative contributions by the different natural and anthropogenic components to warming, so saying that warming causes sea level rise doesn't give us much inforwarming, so saying that warming causes sea level rise doesn't give us much inforwarming causes sea level rise doesn't give us much information.
