«We've long known that heat radiated by buildings, roads, bridges and other structures keeps surface air temperature higher in cities than in surrounding areas.

The former is likely to overestimate the true global surface air temperature trend (since the oceans do not warm as fast as the land), while the latter may underestimate the true trend, since the air temperature over the ocean is predicted to rise at a slightly higher rate than the ocean temperature.

The other argument might be that the FREEZING point of heavy water is also higher than regular water, so more of it would snow out of the air before it gets to Greenland, so the temperature of Greenland matters.

The higher temperatures mean city buildings need more air conditioning, and therefore use more energy than they otherwise would.

High quality heat (5000K sunlight) is transformed into low quality heat (255K water) and it can never again be used to heat anything to a temperature higher than 255K which includes the ocean surface and the air above it.

100 years of 0.5 W / m2 energy imbalance can only raise ocean basin temperature 0.2 C which can not raise air temperature more than 0.2 C. Temperature rise can be temporarily higher in the ocean's surface if energy is being added faster at the surface than it can diffuse downward to the otemperature 0.2 C which can not raise air temperature more than 0.2 C. Temperature rise can be temporarily higher in the ocean's surface if energy is being added faster at the surface than it can diffuse downward to the otemperature more than 0.2 C. Temperature rise can be temporarily higher in the ocean's surface if energy is being added faster at the surface than it can diffuse downward to the oTemperature rise can be temporarily higher in the ocean's surface if energy is being added faster at the surface than it can diffuse downward to the ocean floor.

Snowfall varies across the region, comprising less than 10 % of total precipitation in the south, to more than half in the north, with as much as two inches of water available in the snowpack at the beginning of spring melt in the northern reaches of the river basins.81 When this amount of snowmelt is combined with heavy rainfall, the resulting flooding can be widespread and catastrophic (see «Cedar Rapids: A Tale of Vulnerability and Response»).82 Historical observations indicate declines in the frequency of high magnitude snowfall years over much of the Midwest, 83 but an increase in lake effect snowfall.61 These divergent trends and their inverse relationships with air temperatures make overall projections of regional impacts of the associated snowmelt extremely difficult.

So the IPCC have formalized the claim that, were it not for Chinese air pollution, the global temperature rise would be higher than it has been, justifying more actual sensitivity to CO2 than we appear to observe.

While the eastern U.S. suffered very cold temperatures in the recent cold snap, much of the rest of the Northern Hemisphere saw higher - than - average air temperatures.

More than 20 million people in the Midwest experience air quality that fails to meet national ambient air quality standards.14 Degraded air quality due to human - induced emissions66 and increased pollen season duration67 are projected to be amplified with higher temperatures, 68 and pollution and pollen exposures, in addition to heat waves, can harm human health (Ch.

So.the evaporation of the oceans is because it has slightly higher temperature than the local air.

Even in areas where precipitation does not decrease, these increases in surface evaporation and loss of water from plants lead to more rapid drying of soils if the effects of higher temperatures are not offset by other changes (such as reduced wind speed or increased humidity).5 As soil dries out, a larger proportion of the incoming heat from the sun goes into heating the soil and adjacent air rather than evaporating its moisture, resulting in hotter summers under drier climatic conditions.6

Average air temperatures over the Arctic Ocean were much higher than normal for the month, reflecting unusual atmospheric conditions.

Based on changes in tree line, pollen samples and ocean sediments, scientists estimate Arctic air temperatures during the mid Holocene averaged 2 to 7 °C higher than today.

For instance, ground source heat pumps tend to have higher efficiencies than air source units during the heating season due to the relative stability of ground temperatures below certain depths, though air source units — which involve much lower capital costs — have closed the gap in recent years as manufacturers have refined their design, and there is evidence to indicate that space heating demand in many Irish buildings may be peaking in Ireland's frequently relatively mild but windy weather, as the guide to air source heat pumps in Issue 24 of Passive House Plus discussed.

The carbon dioxide filled bottle both heats up faster and reaches a higher temperature than the air filled bottle under the same powered heat lamp at the same distance from the bottle.

Invariably the temperature inside of the CO2 filled bottle is seen to be higher than the bottle with just air in it.

If what they believe is true — IR radiation is blocked by glass — then what is physically happening in these experiments is that the heat lamp is simply heating the container itself which in turn heats via conduction the gases inside of the container and again, the CO2 gas warms faster and to a higher temperature than the air because its specific heat is lower.

But other than that wouldn't be similar in terms of air temperature and air temperature decreasing with higher elevation?
