WMO will issue its full Statement on the State of the Climate in 2017 in March which will provide a comprehensive overview of temperature variability and trends, high - impact events, and long - term indicators of climate change such
as increasing carbon dioxide concentrations, Arctic and Antarctic sea ice, sea level rise and ocean acidification.
About BIOACID: Since 2009, more than 250 BIOACID scientists from 20 German research institutes have investigated how different marine organisms respond to ocean acidification and
increasing carbon dioxide concentrations in seawater, how their performance is affected during their various life stages, how these reactions impact marine food webs and elemental cycles and whether they can be mitigated by evolutionary adaptation.
Few can now dispute the global agricultural benefits
of increased carbon dioxide concentration, but in the UK and elsewhere we are seeing the chronic health damage resulting from the dash to diesel subsidised by foolish governments.
The Statement also highlighted that long - term indicators of climate change such
as increasing carbon dioxide concentrations, sea level rise and ocean acidification continue «unabated», with Arctic sea ice coverage remaining below average and the previously stable Antarctic sea ice extent at or near a record low.
These processes affect the transport of water, heat, salinity, nutrients and carbon in the ocean, impacting on the climate system by modifying it's ability to absorb human - emitted carbon dioxide and excess heat resulting
from increased carbon dioxide concentrations.
In a paper «Global warming preceded
by increasing carbon dioxide concentrations during the last deglaciation», Shakun et al. (Nature 2012) contend that rising temperature at the end of the last Pleistocene glaciation were preceded by increasing atmospheric CO2.
Those gasses will
increase the carbon dioxide concentration.
«A significant challenge for the future is
increasing carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere,» said senior author Tobias Erb, a research group leader at the Max Planck Institute for Terrestrial Microbiology in Marburg, Germany.
They will also need to
increase the carbon dioxide concentrations to more closely imitate the Martian atmosphere.
The standards for high school note that «changes in the atmosphere due to human activity have
increased carbon dioxide concentrations and thus affect climate.»
The greenhouse effect is real, as is the enhancement due to
increasing carbon dioxide concentration.
Humans have
increased carbon dioxide concentrations in the atmosphere from a pre-industrial level of 280 parts per million to over 400 today, a level not seen for millions of years.
Bradley, R.S. and Jones, P.D., 1985: Data bases for isolating the effects of
the increasing carbon dioxide concentration.
Changes in the atmosphere due to human activity have
increased carbon dioxide concentrations and thus affect climate.
An increase in net energy input to the ITCZ in a perturbed climate (via reduced outgoing longwave radiation due to
increased carbon dioxide concentrations, for example) means that, for energetic balance, the circulation and vertical velocity in the ITCZ must strengthen in order to export the excess energy (assuming the gross moist stability in the ITCZ is positive and constant).
On the other hand, organic eutrophication (without fertilizers) does tend to cause an increase in respiration,
increasing the carbon dioxide concentration and lowering the pH again.
If we can't properly model how the earth will respond to
increased carbon dioxide concentrations, how can we estimate what the consequences will be if we do nothing to curb the activities that are filling earth's atmosphere with excess carbon dioxide?
«According to Plaintiffs,
increased carbon dioxide concentrations have led to higher global temperature, and it is «likely» that «human influence has been the dominant cause of the observed warming since the mid-20th century.»
