It is not only sunlight that plays a role in these cycles, but the influence of glaciers and atmospheric carbon dioxide.

Previous studies have suggested that temperature and, more specifically, atmospheric carbon dioxide levels influence body size more via an indirect impact on food availability and nutritional content.

«Influence of increasing carbon dioxide levels on the seabed: Storing CO2 below the seabed is one way to counteract increasing atmospheric CO2 - levels.

«Human influence is so dominant now,» Baker asserts, «that whatever is going to go on in the tropics has much less to do with sea surface temperatures and the earth's orbital parameters and much more to do with deforestation, increasing atmospheric carbon dioxide and global warming.»

The model also accounted for natural drivers of change, including the direct influence of increased carbon dioxide on ocean - carbon uptake and the indirect effect that a changing climate has on the physical state of the ocean and its relationship to atmospheric carbon dioxide.

The study argued that changes in the sun's radiation output played a major role in influencing shifts in Arctic air temperatures — a view at odds with mainstream climate science, which fingered atmospheric carbon dioxide as a bigger player.

One would see the temperature line rising away from the SOI line if, for example, rising atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations had a significant influence.

Given the atmospheric lifetime of carbon dioxide is many hundreds to thousands of years, we can now understand that long - lived greenhouses will also continue to exert a warming influence on the worlds oceans for a very long time.

[UPDATED 6/23, 9:30 a.m.] Twenty years ago today, James E. Hansen testified before the Senate Energy Committee — in a room kept intentionally warm by committee staff — that the atmospheric buildup of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases from burning fossil fuels and forests was already perceptibly influencing Earth's climate.

This is due to the fact that changes in atmospheric transport and deposition in the case of 10Be or changes in the carbon cycle in the case of 14C can influence the measured concentrations.

Together with the long - term decrease of 15 p.p.m.v. during the past four glacial cycles, we suggest significant slow fluctuations in the atmospheric CO2 concentration on timescales of several 105 years, probably influenced by changes in the weathering14 or by major reorganizations in the carbon reservoir of the global ocean15.

There is every likelihood that current changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide are being influenced by events up to a millennium ago.

I have, in front of me, the paper «The influence of the 15 micron carbon - dioxide band on the atmospheric infra - red cooling rate» by Gilbert Plass of the Johns Hopkins University.

Fire can heavily tip the balance of land carbon uptake and strongly influence global atmospheric carbon accumulations.

Biomass burning is a major global influence, affecting biogeochemical cycles, atmospheric chemistry and the carbon cycle.

In these papers, we show that carbon dioxide does not influence the atmospheric temperatures.

The short - term influence of various concentrations of atmospheric carbon dioxide on the temperature profile in the boundary layer.

From CSIRO: «What we learned is that in spite of droughts, floods, volcano eruptions, El Niño and other events, the Earth system has been remarkably consistent in regulating the inter-annual variations in atmospheric carbon dioxide levels,» Tropical ecosystems regulate variations in Earth's carbon dioxide levels Rising temperatures, influenced by natural events such as El Niño,...

Only over climate timescales (typically, 30 years or more), do the long - term trends emerge that reflect the influence of changes in atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide.»

The potential influence of rising atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) on public health: pollen production of common ragweed as a test case.

This calculation corrects for the known influences of the carbon cycle on the atmospheric C concentration (for details see Muscheler et al. 2005a).

Early work at GFDL relating to carbon focused on CO2 as a greenhouse gas and it's potential for doubling in response to human activities, through water vapor and other atmospheric feedbacks in the context of latitudinal, land - sea and other inhomogeneities influencing climate (e.g. Manabe 1968, 1986, 1987).

It is well established that the level of atmospheric CO2, which directly influences the Earth's temperature, depends critically on the rates of carbon uptake by the ocean and the land, which are also dependent on climate.

Change to the level of atmospheric carbon dioxide had no significant influence.

Even if this hypothesis was at first founded upon assumptions for the absorption of carbon dioxide which are not strictly correct, it is still an open question whether an examination of the «protecting» influence of the higher atmospheric layers upon lower ones may not show that a decrease of the carbon dioxide will have important consequences, owing to the resulting decrease in the radiation of the upper layers and the increased temperature gradient at the earth's surface.

In terms of greenhouse agents, the main conclusions from the WGI FAR Policymakers Summary are still valid today: (1) «emissions resulting from human activities are substantially increasing the atmospheric concentrations of the greenhouse gases: CO2, CH4, CFCs, N2O»; (2) «some gases are potentially more effective (at greenhouse warming)»; (3) feedbacks between the carbon cycle, ecosystems and atmospheric greenhouse gases in a warmer world will affect CO2 abundances; and (4) GWPs provide a metric for comparing the climatic impact of different greenhouse gases, one that integrates both the radiative influence and biogeochemical cycles.
