Not exact matches

On this week's show: New research shows psychoactive drugs were present at the dawn of the first complex societies, and a long - term study that questions how plants will deal with rising carbon dioxide levels

CSIRO scientist Barrie Pittock presented a paper showing that stabilising the global level of carbon dioxide at three times the pre-industrial level will require reducing emissions below half the present level.

According to Kenneth Miller, lead author and Earth Science professor at Rutgers University, «the natural state of the earth with present carbon dioxide levels is one with sea levels about 20 meters higher than at present.»

John Carter August 8, 2014 at 12:58 am chooses to state his position on the greenhouse effect in the following 134 word sentence: «But given the [1] basics of the greenhouse effect, the fact that with just a very small percentage of greenhouse gas molecules in the air this effect keeps the earth about 55 - 60 degrees warmer than it would otherwise be, and the fact that through easily recognizable if [2] inadvertent growing patterns we have at this point probably at least [3] doubled the total collective amount in heat absorption and re-radiation capacity of long lived atmospheric greenhouse gases (nearly doubling total that of the [4] leading one, carbon dioxide, in the modern era), to [5] levels not collectively seen on earth in several million years — levels that well predated the present ice age and extensive earth surface ice conditions — it goes [6] against basic physics and basic geologic science to not be «predisposed» to the idea that this would ultimately impact climate.»

Referencing Pacala and Socolow's paper in Science (305: 968), Richter presented a chart showing the primary power requirements for scenarios that stabilize carbon dioxide levels at 450ppm and 550 ppm, enough to limit global temperature rise to 1.5 - 4 degrees Celsius by 2050.

At present, carbon dioxide levels are dramatically higher than normal due to man - made emissions.

The carbon they refer to is Carbon dioxide, / CO2 a gaseous product of the burning of practically any combustible product of this planet and a gas which if the planet lacked or was not present at a sufficiently high atmospheric level and had remained so for countless millenniums past, no sentient life or plant life would exist today.

In 1880, carbon dioxide was present in the atmosphere at the level of around 285 parts per million.

However, the researchers say there are no satellites at present that are able to properly target urban areas for accurately measuring carbon dioxide levels.
