Warm ones can be easier for our bodies to digest (again, because we don't have to expend the energy of warming them up) and can leave us with a more balanced, grounded feeling.

Add in that if it's the sun, the entire atmosphere will warm, since there's just simply more energy put in to the system, whereas if it is CO2 or other blanketing method, there's no extra energy put in, therefore the ground will warm and the upper air cool (since the upper air isn't getting the warming from the lower layers it used to get and the lower layers aren't losing the heat they used to).

As the «Six Americas» surveys run by the Yale Project on Climate Change Communication have shown, there's plenty of common ground on energy innovation and incentives for efficiency, so it's possible to have a constructive conversation on global warming science and at least some solutions across a range of ideologies.

But you claimed that if the atmosphere contained more CO2 then the ground would radiate less energy and therefore warm.

You also agreed that the cold ground does not result in warming of the hands, but the hands were losing energy to the ground.

I also explained why the extra warmth at the surface is provided by compression of descending air converting potential energy (PE) to kinetic energy (KE) and not from downward radiation from GHGs in the air warming the ground beneath.

Warmer temperatures have increased the amount of snow and ice on the ground (because more moisture evaporates into the atmosphere), which forces caribou to dig deeper to feed on the lichens and mosses below, using up energy; some die of exhaustion and starvation.

If we had snow on the ground it would be much colder because of the albedo effect, and any warming that is happening right now is due to the fact that the snowless surface is absorbing energy, where a snow covered surface would be reflecting the energy back into space.

Dr. George Carlo who helped set the ground - work for TASSC and remained on its «Advisory Board», was simultaneously working for Dow Chemicals (dioxins and breast implants); the Cellular Telephone Industry Association (opposing the need for research into the GSM / D - AMPS pulsed EMF power); and the energy companies (global warming).

More clouds both drastically reduce energy input from the sun and simply slow release of what energy there is trapped in the lower troposphere, but the long term effect would be a fall in average temperature because of the significantly reduced input power but the atmosphere's ability to cool is aided by air current circulation whereby the warmer air rises above those low clouds and that infra - red is more easily re-emitted into space, whereby the low clouds now block that re-emission from hitting the ground again to any significant degree.

Warming ground warms these inert molecules by Conduction, then they transfer a lot of heat to higher levels of the Troposphere via Convection (carries a lot more energy in air then conduction....

If solar energy does not reach the ground it can not warm the surface..

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the World Bank, the International Energy Agency and other major institutions agree that most of the world's available fossil fuel reserves must be left in the ground in order to limit global warming to safe levels (well below 2 degrees Celsius, and as close as possible to 1.5 degrees).

Tom Vonk is correct when he says that the following statements are over-simplifications and need corrections (in caps): «CO2 absorbs AND EMITS the outgoing infrared energy and warms the atmosphere TO A HIGHER TEMPERATURE THAN IT WOULD HAVE WITHOUT CO2» — or — «CO2 traps part of the infrared radiation between ground and the upper part of the atmosphere» AND IS THE MAJOR SOURCE OF INFRARED RADIATION FROM THE UPPER ATMOSPHERE TO SPACE.

Hundreds of thousands of people joined an estimated 2,300 marches and actions in 175 countries over the weekend, demanding that the heads of state and negotiators in Paris pull together a strong deal to fight global warming — and fight to keep fossil fuels in the ground and shift to 100 percent clean energy.

The Earth's albedo reflects away about 30 % of the Sun's 1,368 W / m ^ 2 energy leaving 70 % or 958 W / m ^ 2 to «warm» the surface (1.5 m above ground) and at an S - B BB equilibrium temperature of 361 K, 33 C cooler (394 - 361) than the earth with no atmosphere or albedo.

Air containing water in vapour form will rise higher than dry air because it is lighter so when the vapour is removed it must fall back to its «correct» height but because of the air around it becoming warmer as it descends it will remain too dense for its height until it reaches the ground and receives more energy from the irradiated surface.

Global warming is implicated in the loss of Arctic ozone because greenhouse gases trap energy lower down, heating up the atmosphere nearer the ground but cooling the stratosphere, creating conditions conducive to the formation of the reactive chemicals that break apart the three - oxygen molecules of ozone.

But whether or not this specific divestment movement is successful, the situation showcases how environmental advocates and investment groups are stepping up their pressure on banks as a way to push forward clean energy policies under the Trump administration, which has shown itself to be unsupportive of investment decisions grounded in a desire to combat global warming.

In a ground - breaking new paper (Lansner and Pepke Pedersen, 2018) published in the journal Energy and Environment, an analysis of land surface instrumental records from across the globe's ocean air sheltered (OAS) regions reveals that, like the proxy evidence presented above, most of the modern era warming occurred prior to the 1940s, and the there has effectively been no net warming since then.

Instead, the global energy imbalance of the Earth increased as the heat energy that would have been warming the ground surface was being diverted toward heating the ocean» Andy gives no scientific justification for the energy he imagines warming the «ground» surface being diverted toward heating the ocean.

How much the ozone hole may be warming the planet is unknown, but Grise and his colleagues estimate an increase of less than 0.09 watts per square foot (1 watt per square meter) of energy could be reaching the ground.

Energy in = energy out is not technically true though, the heat that reaches the surface is attenuated as the surface warms and cools, for example heating of the ocean surface and ground suEnergy in = energy out is not technically true though, the heat that reaches the surface is attenuated as the surface warms and cools, for example heating of the ocean surface and ground suenergy out is not technically true though, the heat that reaches the surface is attenuated as the surface warms and cools, for example heating of the ocean surface and ground surface.

However, when the ground warms a layer of air near the surface, it expands and rises, carrying away energy from the surface.

These effects are magnified by snow and ice: by reducing snow and ice cover, warming reduces the reflectivity of the ground and allows more solar energy to be absorbed, further increasing the warming; conversely for cooling.»

But, it can warm the air close to the ground, if the air is cooler, and does do that if that very energy just bounces around locally in the air maintaining equilibrium and equipartition, and this is what normally happens (really it is thermalization and re-emission from the GHGs), in your room, on your patio, in a field, on the ocean, its just it can never raise the temperature greater than the local surface itself is.
