Humans keep adding large amounts of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, among them carbon dioxide (CO2), the most important human - made greenhouse gas.
But climate modelers can't add enough carbon dioxide (a planet - warming greenhouse gas) to their Mars atmosphere models to get the temperature high enough to keep water from freezing.
Hyundai also says that the new ultra-rigid rear - drive platform adds more precise vehicle dynamics for those vehicles ordered without the AWD, while active safety features now include available automatic emergency braking, head - up display, a cabin carbon dioxide sensor and lane - keep assist.
Maybe if we had kept on talking about adding carbonic acid to the air (instead of using the modern vocabulary whereby we add carbon dioxide to the air), we would have been talking all along about ocean uptake of carbonic acid and ocean acidification would have been an obvious consequence.
The added carbon dioxide will of course keep absorbing in the IR but it can not cause the greenhouse effect that IPCC calculates for it because the reduction of water vapor I referred to cancels it out.
Researcher Wang Mou from the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences outlined a planetary carbon budget in which adding 2,771 gigatons (a gigaton equals one billion tons) of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere above the level in 1900 would still keep the average global temperature below the 2 degree Celsius threshold.

Scientists keep track of natural forcings, but the observed warming of the planet over the second half of the 20th century can only be explained by adding in anthropogenic radiative forcings, namely increases in greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide.
The reduction in emissions of carbon dioxide per new unit of non-hydro «renewable» capacity falls off rapidly as additional «renewable» capacity is added to an electric grid because additional fossil fuel sources must be kept in «spinning reserve» in case the wind dies or the sun goes under a cloud unless hydro is available.
The added carbon dioxide will of course keep absorbing in the IR but simultaneous reduction of water vapor will keep the total absorption constant and no greenhouse warming is possible.
