Sentences with phrase «globally average temperature rises»

As humans burn fossil fuels, adding carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, globally average temperature rises as a result.

Not exact matches

«Future projections based on theory and high - resolution dynamical models consistently suggest that greenhouse warming will cause the globally averaged intensity of tropical cyclones to shift towards stronger storms,» Knutson et al. (2010); Grinsted et al. (2013) projected «a twofold to sevenfold increase in the frequency of Katrina magnitude events for a 1 °C rise in global temperature.»

Since 1850, CO2 levels rose, as did the «globally and annually averaged land and sea surface temperature anomaly» (for what it's worth), but nobody knows whether or not the increase in CO2 had anything whatsoever to do with the warming.

CSE climate researchers say more heat waves were expected as globally temperatures had risen by an average 0.8 degrees in the past 100 years.

Globally, average temperatures have risen about 1 °C (nearly 2 °F) since the 1800s.

It should say something like «Although CO2 concentrations in the atmosphere have risen in line with earlier projections, globally - averaged temperature observations have risen less than projected and are currently at or below the low end of the range in past IPCC assessments.»

Greenhouse gases continued to rise unabated, BUT instead of a warming there was a net cooling of the globally averaged land and sea surface temperature anomaly (HadCRUT3).

Research published in Nature recommends that, globally, a third of oil reserves, half of gas reserves, and over 80 percent of current coal reserves should remain unused from 2010 to 2050, in order to keep average global temperatures from rising no more than two degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels.

Although temperatures have been increasing globally, since the mid-1970s temperatures here have risen by 0.34 C per decade faster than the global average of 0.17 C.

The thermometers out there (even the ones next to AC exhausts in the summer or heated buildings in the winter) tell us that the «globally and annually averaged land and sea surface temperature» has not risen over more than a decade (in fact it has cooled slightly).

These feedbacks are the primary source of uncertainty in how much the earth will warm (side note: the question that most climate scientists who study the forcing due to CO2 try to answer is, how much will the long - term globally averaged surface temperature of the earth rise due to an rapid rise of CO2 to twice its industrial level, that is, 270 ppm to 540 ppm; it is currently about 380 last time I checked, and rising at ~ 3ppm / year, although this rate of change appears to be accelerating).

A positive feedback will re-inforce the trend and cause surface temperature (globally / temporally averaged, of course) to rise even faster than it would have without the feedback.

Globally, at the United Nations Conference on Climate Change in Paris, 195 countries — including the United States, at the time — agreed to pollution - cutting provisions with a goal of preventing the average global temperature from rising more than 1.5 degrees Celsius above preindustrial times.

Globally, we are well off track to meet commitments on emissions reductions to keep average global temperature rise below 1.5 degrees Celsius.
