Sentences with phrase «induced by carbon dioxide»

In this paper, Broecker correctly predicted «that the present cooling trend will, within a decade or so, give way to a pronounced warming induced by carbon dioxide», and that «by early in the next century [carbon dioxide] will have driven the mean planetary temperature beyond the limits experienced during the last 1000 years».

If man - made dust is unimportant as a major cause of climate change, then a strong case can be made that the present cooling trend will, within a decade or so, give way to a pronounced warming induced by carbon dioxide.

«Ultimately, the warming induced by carbon dioxide over the many thousands of years it remains in the atmosphere would exceed the warming from combustion by a factor of 100,000 or more,» Caldeira said.

«Ultimately, the warming induced by carbon dioxide over the many thousands of years it remains in the atmosphere would exceed the warming from combustion by a factor of 100,000 or more,» Caldeira said.

Not exact matches

The finding suggests that an increase in hurricanes and tropical storms induced by global warming could turn forests into overall emitters of carbon dioxide, fuelling further climate change.

Going forward, Wang said, the positive effect of carbon dioxide - induced water savings may eventually be offset by the negative effect of carbon dioxide - induced temperature increases when the temperature increase crosses a certain threshold.

This implies that future stratospheric cooling, induced by an increase in the anthropogenic carbon dioxide burden, is likely to enhance denitrification and to delay until late in the next century the return of Arctic stratospheric ozone to preindustrial values.

The Science study finds that this is most likely because the models underestimate the atmospheric warming in the Arctic that is induced by a given carbon - dioxide emission.

The latest draft, seen by New Scientist, states that even following «a complete cessation of emissions... carbon dioxide - induced warming is projected to remain approximately constant for many centuries.

But while the destructive effects of CFCs appear to have been conquered, the global warming almost certainly induced by rising levels of carbon dioxide could tip the balance the other way, says Harris.

Specifically, the draft report says that «equilibrium climate sensitivity» (ECS)-- eventual warming induced by a doubling of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, which takes hundreds of years to occur — is «extremely likely» to be above 1 degree Celsius (1.8 degrees Fahrenheit), «likely» to be above 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.4 degrees Fahrenheit) and «very likely» to be below 6 degrees Celsius (10.8 Fahrenheit).

Changing living conditions caused by climate change or ocean acidification — the decrease of ocean pH due to the uptake of human - induced carbon dioxide from the atmosphere — pose serious threats to marine organisms.

How about BAU with carbon dioxide buildup partially masked by aerosol - induced global dimming, building climate crisis leading to a major economic recession?

«By inducing the self - photosensitization of M. thermoacetica with cadmium sulfide nanoparticles, we enabled the photosynthesis of acetic acid from carbon dioxide over several days of light - dark cycles at relatively high quantum yields, demonstrating a self - replicating route toward solar - to - chemical carbon dioxide reduction.»

«A crucial measure of our knowledge of feedbacks is climate sensitivity — that is, the warming induced by a hypothetical doubling of carbon - dioxide concentration,» he continued.

Climate change skeptics claimed the IPCC 2007 report — the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change Fourth Assessment Report (IPCC 2007), which uses scientific facts to argue humans are causing climate change — was based on an alleged bias for positive results by editors and peer reviewers of scientific journals; editors and scientists were accused of suppressing research that did not support the paradigm for carbon dioxide - induced global warming.

The simulated three - dimensional spatial pattern of the temperature changes induced by increasing concentrations of a well - mixed greenhouse gas, such as carbon dioxide, is complicated and varies from model to model, but one common aspect is the tendency for the lower to mid-troposphere to warm more rapidly than the surface, except over high latitudes.

Countries included in Annex B of the Protocol (most Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development countries and countries with economies in transition) agreed to reduce their human - induced heat - trapping gas (greenhouse gas) emissions (carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, and sulfur hexafluoride) by at least 5 % below 1990 levels in the commitment period 2008 to 2012.

That's why we're seeing so many records lately; El Niño might produce a spike, but that spike is sitting on top of an upward trend, the physical manifestation of human induced global warming, driven mostly by our dumping 40 billion tons of carbon dioxide into the air every year.

But these sinks, critical in the effort to soak up some of our greenhouse gas emissions, may be stopping up, thanks to deforestation, and human - induced weather changes that are causing the oceanic carbon dioxide «sponge» to weaken, a new study led by Fraser and detailed in the May 18 issue of the journal Science found.
