Sentences with phrase «effect of carbon dioxide produced»

Added methane reduces heat radiation to space, amplifying the warming effect of carbon dioxide produced by burning fossil fuels.

Not exact matches

Research at the Rodale Institute found that «organic farming helps combat global warming by capturing atmospheric carbon dioxide and incorporating it into the soil, whereas conventional farming exacerbates the greenhouse effect by producing a net release of carbon into the atmosphere.»

First, volcanic eruptions produce major quantities of carbon dioxide (CO2), a gas known to contribute to the greenhouse effect.

It's not clear how much of a greenhouse effect that would produce, but it's a good bet that Earth would be a lot warmer — much as it would be, say, if there were no plants drawing carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.

The early presence of plants and fungi on land would have reduced the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, producing a cooling effect, the authors note.

A new study in Canada has found that some hydroelectric reservoirs give off as much carbon dioxide and methane — the two most important causes of the man - made greenhouse effect — as coal - fired power stations producing a similar amount of electricity.

The oceans have absorbed approximately one third of human - produced CO2 emissions, dampening the effects of carbon dioxide - driven greenhouse warming.

The discovery team presumes that VP113 has an icy reflective surface like other relatively small, outer Solar System objects, as the dwarf planet is observed to have a pink tinge, which is hypothesized to result from chemical changes produced by the effect of radiation on frozen water, methane, and carbon dioxide.

No matter what other factors affect temperature, the addition of large amounts of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere - ocean system will produce large negative effects.

Data from satellite observations «suggest that greenhouse models ignore negative feedback produced by clouds and by water vapor, that diminish the warming effects» of human carbon dioxide emissions.

Unfortunately, RECs are almost entirely non-additional (e.g. the wind turbines producing them in Iowa would have been built independent of the REC income stream), so buying RECs has no real effect on carbon dioxide emissions.

Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments of the Earth.

Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments of the earth.»

On the contrary, the petition cites «substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments of the earth.»

In fact, that all things green love carbon - dioxide rich environments is the ONLY thing we KNOW about the effects of increase CO2 levels, other than the fact that higher and higher levels of CO2 produce increasingly lesser and lesser amounts of heating due to the «greenhouse effect».

1 - A review of the research literature concerning the environmental consequences of increased levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide leads to the conclusion that increases during the 20th and early 21st centuries have produced no deleterious effects upon Earth's weather and climate.

Atmospheric carbon dioxide build up produces a greenhouse effect that re-radiates some of the thermal wave lengths from the Earth's surface, which would otherwise escape into space, back towards the surface and the lower atmosphere leading to the increase in average surface temperatures.

The enhanced Greenhouse Effect we are now measuring is a human fingerprint because the source of it is the continued emission of greenhouse gases, primarily carbon dioxide, produced by industrial activity.

Around 1850, physicist John Tyndall discovered that carbon dioxide traps heat in our atmosphere, producing the greenhouse effect, which enables all of creation as we know it to live on Earth.

A review of research literature concerning the environmental consequences of increased levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide leads to the conclusion that increases during the 20th and 21st centuries have produced no deleterious effects on Earth's weather or climate.

Human exposure to fine particulate matter increases the risk of acute lower respiratory infection, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, heart disease, stroke and lung cancer, while exposure to carbon dioxide — a colorless, odorless, non-toxic gas — produces none of these effects and is in fact essential for life on earth.

Most of your readers are probably unaware of the fact that doubling carbon dioxide in itself only produces a modest warming effect of about 1.2 C and that to get dangerous warming requires feedbacks from water vapour, clouds and other phenomena for which the evidence is far more doubtful.

However, the low value of these catalysts produces generally low reduction effects of carbon dioxide.

«Moreover, there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plan and animal environments of the Earth.»

With all of the negative effects predicted to occur in response to the ongoing rise in the air's carbon dioxide (CO2) concentration — a result of burning fossil fuels to produce energy — it is only natural to want to see what has been happening to our Earth's many ecosystems as the atmospheric carbon dioxide load has risen.

Satellite observations suggest that GH models ignore negative feedbacks, produced by clouds and by water vapor, that diminish the warming effects of carbon dioxide.»

For millions of years carbon dioxide, from the earth's natural carbon cycle, has worked to produce the greenhouse effect in the earth's atmosphere.

The petition further stated that «there is substantial scientific evidence that increases in atmospheric carbon dioxide produce many beneficial effects upon the natural plant and animal environments of the Earth.»

Burning forests emit massive amounts of carbon dioxide, producing a deeper greenhouse effect.

Regardless, climate models are made interesting by the inclusion of «positive feedbacks» (multiplier effects) so that a small temperature increment expected from increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide invokes large increases in water vapor, which seem to produce exponential rather than logarithmic temperature response in the models.
