It is surprising for me that all this fierce fighting here is not really on the trend of the Hurricanes, not even on a
potential influence of global warming but just on the question if this influence acts by SSTs or by affecting the vertical wind shear.
Allen pointed out that this is the first quantitative evaluation of
the influence of global warming on Britain's 2014 floods.
But decision makers need to appreciate
the influence of global warming on extreme climate and weather events.
The results are also in line with previous work of Karoly's that found that the record warm year Australia experienced in 2013 was «virtually impossible» without
the influence of global warming, as he put it.
«BIOACID studies demonstrated that
the influences of global warming and acidification are able to reinforce each other», Riebesell explains.
One can ask two different questions about
the influence of global warming on heat waves (Otto et al. 2012), and we take them in turn.
The influence of global warming alone on a more moisture starved atmosphere would seem to require fewer and thinner clouds (the warmer atmosphere can hold more water vapor in suspension without requiring it to condense into cloud).
When we discuss whether
the influence of global warming has appeared in TCs, there is a fundamental problem that we are not very sure about theoretically how TCs should react to (greenhouse - gas - induced) global warming.
What's still unclear is whether that differential in sea temperatures will persist under
the influence of global warming or whether the ocean regions will in the future warm more in lockstep.
In recent decades, these anthropogenic effects have been greatly amplified by
the influence of global warming, which will continue to loom large as a critical threat to the future survival of many of these species even as we begin taking constructive steps towards remedying the situation.
There are very real decisions that depend on having accurate, understandable information about
the influence of global warming on these kinds of extreme events.
In thinking about
the influence of global warming on patterns of extreme weather, it may be worth thinking back to that memorable moment in the mock heavy metal documentary «This is Spinal Tap» when Nigel Tufnel, the band's lead guitarist, notes how his amplifier volume settings go to 11 instead of the standard peak setting of 10.
Many scientists and some politicians say such storms might become more frequent in the future due to
the influence of global warming.
The chances of breaking the current record are much greater for the current climate, including
the influence of global warming, than they would have been with no global warming.
«Australian snowpack disappearing under
the influence of global warming and solar activity.»
The rise was caused partly by the simple thermal expansion of sea water under
the influence of global warming, and increasingly by the melting of glaciers and ice sheets.
It has been suggested that
the influence of global warming on the western tropical Pacific and Indian Oceans may already be detectable, and along with cool SSTs in the eastern tropical Pacific, may have been a cause of drought conditions at the turn of the 21st century that affected regions including southwestern North America (19).
This cooling effect may have disguised
the influence of global warming on Arctic sea ice and may have resulted in sea ice growth recorded by Russian aerial surveys in the region from 1950 through 1975, according to the new research.
Consequently, McAneney et al. matter - of - factly attest that they were «unable to detect
any influence of global warming at this tropical location on either the frequency or the height of major flooding.»
He seems to prefer the second possibility and ends literally with the sentence: «This would suggest
an influence of global warming on the vertical wind structure».
Quantifying
the influence of global warming on unprecedented extreme climate events.
And some hurricane experts who previously have questioned
the influence of global warming now say the evidence is mounting that it has contributed to recent intense tropical storms.
