Most scientists and climatologists agree that weird weather is at least in part the result of global warming — a steady increase in the average temperature of the surface of the Earth thought to be caused by
increased concentrations of greenhouse gasses produced by human activity.
IPCC press releases have warned
about increased concentrations of greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere, yet Dr. Vincent Gray, a member of the IPCC's expert reviewers» panel asserts, «There is no relationship between warming and [the] level of gases in the atmosphere.»
«The rise at the end of the Ice Age and today is about the same [a rise of 100 ppm] and we're going to be well above and beyond,» most
likely increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases by hundreds of parts per million from preindustrial levels, Shakun notes.
Externally forced climate variations may be due to changes in natural forcing factors, such as solar radiation or volcanic aerosols, or to changes in anthropogenic forcing factors, such
as increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases or sulphate aerosols.
The massive Pacific Ocean is helping absorb the extra heat trapped by
increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere
However, solar variability alone can not explain the post-1970 global temperature trends, especially the global temperature rise in the last three decades of the 20th Century, which has been attributed by the Inter-Governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) to
increased concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.»
The feedback loops could be stopped with lots of snowfall and less melting, but that doesn't seem likely given
the increasing concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, Tedesco said.
Increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases are changing the climate.
One thing's for sure:
increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere will continue to warm the Arctic and melt ice and snow.
«Our findings show that
an increasing concentration of greenhouse gases leads to significant changes in atmospheric circulation and tropical rainfall patterns,» said Katinka Bellomo, an alumna of the UM Rosenstiel School.
Increased concentrations of greenhouse gases, from the burning of fossil fuels, slows the loss of heat from Earth's atmosphere to space.
The AGU has made a powerful case that
increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere significantly contributes to the warming of the global climate.
Moreover, most scientists agree that it is extremely likely that humans are causing this problem through activities that
increase concentrations of greenhouse gases.
Climate models try to project how this global warming will continue, but they differ in their response to
increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases.
