Sentences with phrase «less greenhouse gas into»

To meet U.S. and international climate goals we need to emit less greenhouse gas into the atmosphere and, eventually, emit none.

«People need to start realizing that — and realizing that we're not going to turn this thing around unless we can really come to grips with figuring out ways to put less greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.»

Not exact matches

Current climate change models indicate temperatures will increase as long as humans continue to emit greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, but the projections of future precipitation are far less certain.

At higher temperatures, less of the gas is absorbed, and the ocean releases more carbon dioxide into the air, contributing to a runaway greenhouse effect.

If less energy is radiated into space because of greenhouse gases, the Earth's temperature must rise until the emission of infrared increases enough that the system returns to equilibrium.

This is about the radiation from the Earth to space, which is prevented by the atmosphere's greenhouse gases, and as we pour more and more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, less energy will be sent into space.

In bands where greenhouse gases (or clouds) absorb a lot, there is less, not more, infrared radiation escaping into space.

Less than a year after it was adopted, the Paris Agreement on Climate Change came into force on 4 November 2016, following ratification by 55 countries whose economies account for 55 per cent of all global greenhouse gas emissions.

Others were less sure of the science, but agreed that as popular attention to global warming mounted, releasing Natuna's greenhouse gases into the air could turn into a public relations debacle, former employees said.

By reflecting the sun's rays back to space, these cool materials also release less heat into the atmosphere, thus cooling the planet and offsetting the warming effects of substantial amounts of greenhouse gas emissions.

The greenhouse gas (GHG) value is a function of converting the methane into carbon dioxide, which traps less heat in the atmosphere than methane.

What is being proposed is that we do less of something (pumping massive amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere) not that we undertake any positive actions.

And as the oceans rise due to the other greenhouse gasses, more of the water moves into the air, the climate becomes less stable, and traps more heat.

The researchers used climate models, based on a tripling of greenhouse gas emissions by 2100, to study whether future atmospheric conditions be more or less likely to blow a storm like Sandy westwards into the Atlantic coast.

Re-absorption by other greenhouse gas molecules complicates the path and destination of an individual unit of IR, but what it all boils down to is that something less than half of the IR absorbed by greenhouse gases eventually finds its way back to the surface, with the remainder escaping into space.

Some recent research, aimed at fine - tuning long - term warming projections by taking this slowdown into account, suggested Earth may be less sensitive to greenhouse gas increases than previously thought.
