Sentences with phrase «happens at a slower rate»

Earth's wet regions are getting wetter and dry regions are getting drier, but it is happening at a slower rate than previously thought, research shows.

Research from the University of Southampton has provided robust evidence that wet regions of Earth are getting wetter and dry regions are getting drier but it is happening at a slower rate than previously thought.

I assume it happens at a slower rate while on the shelf, but will still happen over time as it becomes aged.

Although the vole population also saw a large rise, it happened at a much slower rate (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, DOI: 10.1073 / pnas.1012714108).

Actually, the rate with which the metabolism slows down is pretty minimal and the weight gain which usually happens in midlife is not due to having a slower metabolism at all.

It's still happening just at a slower rate, which is good for us we believe.The total amount of institutional corporate loans outstanding was $ 994 billion as of March 31, a 12 % increase from the prior year and 4 % up from the end of 2017, according to S&P Capital IQ.

CH4 — yes, the rate at which, as a feedback, a C reservoir is depleted with some fraction going into the atmosphere would be relatively more impotant if more of it is as CH4; if Chuvian runaway (thanks, wili) can be achieved, to the point of exhausting some (designated portion of a) surface C reservoir, with a CH4 flux, then there would be a cooling period afterword (setting aside other slow feedbacks), and if the CH4 feedback were slowed down, then the feedback wouldn't be as strong, and perhaps the C reservoir wouldn't be exhausted unless the external forcing were larger (this being a hypothetical discussion; no assertion that it will happen).

The IPCC 2007 Fourth Assessment of climate change science concluded that large reductions in the emissions of greenhouse gases, principally CO2, are needed soon to slow the increase of atmospheric concentrations, and avoid reaching unacceptable levels.However, climate change is happening even faster than previously estimated; global CO2 emissions since 2000 have been higher than even the highest predictions, Arctic sea ice has been melting at rates much faster than predicted, and the rise in the sea level has become more rapid.

It's ok to build a perpetual motion machine that causes an isolated system to spontaneously cool to absolute zero and stores all of its heat energy reversibly in a battery or a spring as long as it happens at a rate that is slow compared to the rate of power production in a nuclear reactor?

The effects of cooling are rather academic at this point, since the world isn't cooling, the hypothetical long minimum hasn't happened as yet, and the solar scientists are not predicting that the world will cool if that occurs, only that the rate of warming will slow, slightly.

More troubling still, the rate at which the world was warming seems to have slowed considerably, leading sceptics to ask whether global warming is still happening.

Trenberth still relates the effect from CO2 based on 100ppmv causing an increase of 0.6 °C but does not subtract the 0.5 °C of natural warming as recovery from the LIA that has nothing to do with CO2 emissions therefore producing an effect six times too high for the effect from increased CO2 Trenberth is not aware that CO2 is not increaseing at an accelerated rate as predicted by Hansen but at a near linear rate averaging 2.037 ppmv / year so by 2100 the concentration will not be as predicted by the IPCC as per scenario A1 but merely reach a level of 573.11 ppmv by 2100, This is only in the case that CO2 increase is maintained but this may not happen as the rate appears to be slowing down with the average rate for the past 5 years being lower than the rate for the past ten years.
