Sentences with phrase «human industrial activity»

So greenhouse gases emitted by human industrial activity not only cause more heat to become trapped in the atmosphere, they also cause more of the sun's energy to accumulate in the oceans.

It recognized that climate change was a result of greenhouse gases created by human industrial activity.

The Durham team compared data from all earthquakes resulting from human industrial activity since 1929.

That anyone can still believe this all of this warming is natural and cyclical and not related to the sudden rise in human industrial activity during the past 150 years continues to boggle my mind.

In the meantime, it gives clear insights into what scientists see happening to the planet's climate as human industrial activities, as well as land - use changes, pump increasing amounts of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the air.

The first, and probably unanswerable question is How much will human industrial activities actually raise the concentration of carbon dioxide etc. in the air in the future?

These are just a few obvious examples, but because the future Fox News pundit was talking about climate change let's consider something that is indisputable: the measured rise of carbon dioxide in the earth's atmosphere is numerically consistent with that predicted from the output of human industrial activity.

Natural processes have determined Earth's climatic history, but human industrial activities have introduced a new mechanism that is driving Earth's climate future.

Human industrial activity may also prove to be visible in the geological record in the form of long - lived synthetic molecules from plastics and other products, or radioactive fallout from nuclear weapons.

For about two decades, the vast majority of climate scientists have agreed that human industrial activity is forcing the planet to warm.

But, that's one of the hallmarks of human industrial activity: sustained emissions.

The oceans are currently warming because of the extra greenhouse gases that human industrial activity has added to the atmosphere.

Lacis expressly rejects the IPCC's use of the word a «substantial» factor, and argues: «Based on this basic input data, the relevant physics is inescapably clear that the increase in atmospheric CO2 is indeed enhancing the strength of the terrestrial greenhouse effect, and thus causing global warming to happen — all directly attributable to human industrial activity.»

«It is not surprising then that global warming can be linked directly to the observed increase in atmospheric carbon dioxide and to human industrial activity in general.»
