The climate does not respond instantly to emissions, and most greenhouse gases remain in the atmosphere for decades after being released, continuing to influence the climate.

And today we know that the excess carbon dioxide accumulating in the atmosphere from human activity — like burning coal and oil and clearing forests — is altering our climate.

He agreed that we would still need to reduce the rate at which we put carbon dioxide in the atmosphere in order to counteract acidification of the ocean.

It is impossible to know whether or not this event would have taken place if we had not increased the concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere as much as we have.

CO2 stays in the atmosphere for over a century; the atmosphere doesn't care what year it arrives.

I understand that climate sensitivity is temperature response to change in atmosphere CO2 concentration, not a response to change to man - made CO2 emission.

The team's goal is to map the electron content in the atmosphere with high resolution.

But one thing is clear: the extra energy in the atmosphere from greenhouse gases increases the probability of extreme weather events.

When the total concentration of GHGs in the atmosphere rises, temperature rises.

Approximately 43 % of our CO2 emissions stay in the atmosphere with the rest being absorbed by carbon sinks.

«Global warming» refers to a rise in the planet's average temperature due to increasing greenhouse gas emissions in the atmosphere from burning fossil fuels.

They will continue to accumulate in the atmosphere over the next years and possibly even decades, which together with the inertia of the climate system will support further warming.

So the characteristic level in the atmosphere which emits to space gets higher (and therefore colder).

It is a proven fact that plants, including trees and all our food crops, are capable of growing much faster at higher levels of CO2 than present in the atmosphere today.

This process makes the temperature rise in the atmosphere just as it does in the greenhouse.

This assumption means that if temperatures increase for any reason, the amount of water vapour in the atmosphere increases.
