Sentences with phrase «human burning fossil fuels»

Climate change is real, caused by humans burning fossil fuels, and potentially a serious threat to society.

He strongly implies that this year's warmth is consistent with the theory that greenhouse gases from humans burning fossil fuels makes the earth warmer: it's our fault.

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

Many lines of evidence now confirm our planet is warming because of carbon pollution released when humans burn fossil fuels like oil and coal.

The primary way freshwater ecosystems absorb CO2 created by humans burning fossil fuels is likely different than what happens in oceans.

Absent humans burning fossil fuels, the best bet has been the methane locked in ice — so - called methane hydrates — beneath the sea floor.

CO2 can act as both a primary driver, if humans burn fossil fuels to increase CO2 levels, and a secondary driver (part of the positive feedback loop) if CO2 levels increase naturally as a result of other forcings which cause a warming and which, in turn, lead to increased CO2 levels.

98 % of actual climate scientists (a distinction Dr. Willie Soon does not earn) agree that global warming is real and primarily drive by humans burning fossil fuels like coal and oil.

Annual carbon dioxide released in these infernos can exceed half the emissions from humans burning fossil fuels.

as humans burn fossil fuels and dump ever greater concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

Michigan State students note how Willie Soon now refutes research indicating adverse impacts from ocean acidification, a global crisis that is married to climate change (both problems stem from humans burning fossil fuels and releasing carbon dioxide into the atmosphere).

You seem to accept that (a) the planet is warming, (b) this is bad, (c) it is due to increased atmospheric carbon, and (d) this increase is due to humans burning fossil fuels.

Humans burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) release carbon dioxide, a powerful greenhouse gas.

The permafrost is a vast reservoir of ancient carbon, protected from decay by microorganisms simply by its frozen state: it becomes increasingly vulnerable as the world warms, as humans burn fossil fuels and dump ever greater concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

Also, the basic theory behind the scientific argument i.e. increasing greenhouse gases in the atmosphere due to humans burning fossil fuels will lead (and is leading) to global warming which will change the climate, is not being stated often enough in the media.

And do you also agree that there is a completely clear correlation between increases in CO2 concentration in the atmosphere and CO2 released by humans burning fossil fuels and land clearning?

A: Carbon dioxide (CO2) is not the most abundant greenhouse gas, nor is it the most potent, but it is the number one greenhouse gas responsible for the accelerated greenhouse effect, added by humans burning fossil fuels.

The US agency says that the rapid rise is mainly attributable to humans burning fossil fuels.

The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC) Fifth Assessment Report predicts that high concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere (CO2) created by humans burning fossil fuels will cause catastrophic global warming, more intense storms, the loss of polar ice sheets and rising sea levels.

If you add up all the fluxes, you find that 0.2 Gt of carbon are being absorbed by terrestrial plants and soils, 2 Gt are being absorbed by the ocean, and 5.5 Gt are being emitted by humans burning fossil fuels.
