Sentences with phrase «less ice +»

What is distinct about global warming is that the basics of 100 - year - old theory have stood the test of time (more CO2 = warming world = less ice + higher seas and lots of climate change).

The formula holds: more CO2 = warming world = less ice + higher seas + lots of changing climate patterns.

So here we are, still facing a clear long - term picture (more CO2 = warming world = less ice + higher seas + lots of changing climate patterns), but sufficient murk in the short run to fuel the «green noise» and «destructive interference» in climate discourse.

The uncomfortable reality: Outside the basics (more CO2 = warming world = many climate shifts + less ice + rising seas) more research on complex scientific questions often leads to more questions rather than resolving the one at hand.
