But that doesn't mean that the consequences don't exist,
from changes in marine food webs to shifts
in oceanic and
atmospheric chemical
composition.
Changes in atmospheric composition from human activities are the main cause of anthropogenic climate
change by enhancing the greenhouse effect, although with important regional effects
from aerosol particulates (IPCC 2007).
However, overall sensitivities of lifetime to
changes in atmospheric composition vary widely
from model to model.
Consider the facts: the climate system is indicated to have left the natural cycle path; multiple lines of evidence and studies
from different fields all point to the human fingerprint on current climate
change; the convergence of these evidence lines include ice mass loss, pattern
changes, ocean acidification, plant and species migration, isotopic signature of CO2,
changes in atmospheric composition, and many others.
I was continuing to root through the AGU FM abstracts and came across this
from Christina Ravelo et al. (paragraphed for easier digestion by dyspeptic elderly bunnies): «The response of climate to past
changes in atmospheric greenhouse gas
composition can be used to assess Earth System sensitivity.
Kevin Trenberth says: «Rather, climate models that run with and without the human - induced
changes in atmospheric composition demonstrate that human warming has emerged
from natural climate variability since about 1970.»
Rather, climate models that run with and without the human - induced
changes in atmospheric composition demonstrate that human warming has emerged
from natural climate variability since about 1970.
Specifically, has anyone here framed the issue
in terms of, «
changing the
composition of a substance
changes its properties» — and then related that to activities ranging
from cooking, to metallurgy, to biotechnology, to the
atmospheric effect of taking lead out of gasoline?
the reason the period of the last 1000 years isn't much of a priority
in terms of paleo simulations is that you need some specified
change to external forcing (solar,
atmospheric composition) or bottom boundary conditions (like continents moving around) to get a simulation that is different
from present.
