Logically, say Howarth and other researchers interested in how much methane leaks to the atmosphere, a higher lost and unaccounted for percentage would mean more gas is escaping the system and warming the planet.

One of the reasons scientists have been so interested in the argon ratio in Martian meteorites is that it was — before Curiosity — the best measure of how much atmosphere Mars has lost since the planet's earlier, wetter, warmer days billions of years ago.

The model shows how pools of lava could release gases and create a greenhouse effect that warmed the planet.

EARTH SCIENTISTS have been forced to think again about how our planet kept warm in its first two billion years.

The loss of so much gas may explain how the planet morphed from a wet, warm world to a dry, icy one.

The answer holds the key to how our planet will respond to global warming, according to one climate researcher.

To research his latest book, How to Cool the Planet: Geoengineering and the Audacious Quest to Fix Earth's Climate, he spent several years with some of the world's top climate modelers, as well as Cold War physicists, philosophers, politicians, and crackpot entrepreneurs, all of whom are involved with the development of new technologies that might someday be used to manipulate the earth's climate to reduce the risks associated with global warming.

So, now that global warming has transformed your planet into one giant jacuzzi, how are you going to keep your feet dry?

A journalist from Jyllands Posten present at the conference got the message, as my criticism was echoed in a news report the following day («Klimaforskere i åben krig» [translation «Climate researchers in open war»], May 28, 2002): It's tricky to explain how a warming caused by decreasing albedo would be stronger at the night - side (dark) of the planet.

[1] CO2 absorbs IR, is the main GHG, human emissions are increasing its concentration in the atmosphere, raising temperatures globally; the second GHG, water vapor, exists in equilibrium with water / ice, would precipitate out if not for the CO2, so acts as a feedback; since the oceans cover so much of the planet, water is a large positive feedback; melting snow and ice as the atmosphere warms decreases albedo, another positive feedback, biased toward the poles, which gives larger polar warming than the global average; decreasing the temperature gradient from the equator to the poles is reducing the driving forces for the jetstream; the jetstream's meanders are increasing in amplitude and slowing, just like the lower Missippi River where its driving gradient decreases; the larger slower meanders increase the amplitude and duration of blocking highs, increasing drought and extreme temperatures — and 30,000 + Europeans and 5,000 plus Russians die, and the US corn crop, Russian wheat crop, and Aussie wildland fire protection fails — or extreme rainfall floods the US, France, Pakistan, Thailand (driving up prices for disk drives — hows that for unexpected adverse impacts from AGW?)

How much warmer would our planet be, according to recent models and estimations?

the reason I mentioned it in the first place is that I don't think we know all that well how eco-systems will respond as the planet warms and ocean pH decreases, etc..

But the sheer rate of increase over just the past 55 years shows how fast global warming could hit us in the future — and the present — and underscores how much we've failed as a planet to slow down carbon emissions.

Overall, the questions seem to focus on minutia rather than the big picture of how CO2 emissions warm the planet and the evidence supporting that.

If the world's foremost climate scientists didn't know whether man's activities were warming or cooling the planet, how could any responsible government condone scaring its people with «descriptions of climate - related health risks»?
