They tend to believe that as the planet
warms,
low - level cloud cover will increase, thus increasing planetary albedo (overall reflectiveness of the Earth), offsetting the increased greenhouse
effect and preventing a dangerous level of
global warming from occurring.
This
low - budget British eco-doc cuts between case studies of the causes and
effects of
global warming.

Although the January - November year - to - date
global ranking is 4th
warmest, the
effect of continued presence of La Niña conditions on the December
global surface temperature is expected to result in a slightly
lower ranking for the year as a whole.
The drought - induced decline of carbon - dense tropical forests and their replacement by
lower - carbon savannas would release enormous amounts of CO2 to the atmosphere, amplifying
global warming far beyond the
effects of just the CO2 released by burning fossil fuels.
In this regard, I would observe that at least one important AGW
effect, rising sea level, does not depend on a specific regional outcome so much as on
global mean T. (At least, I think this is so (because my understanding is that most of the rise comes from
lower density of
warmer water, not from melting ice sheets — though again, not 100 % sure on this point)-RRB-.
Anthropogenic
global warming (AGW), a recent
warming of the Earth's
lower atmosphere as evidenced by the
global mean temperature anomaly trend [11], is BELIEVED to be the result of an «enhanced greenhouse
effect» mainly due to human - produced increased concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere [12] and changes in the use of land [13].
The whole debate on
global warming is misguided, since it focuses on statistical
effects of the pathetically
low levels of CO2 in the atmosphere now, and tries to portray CO2 and higher world temps as bad.
Some possible
effects of
global warming are the inundation of
low - lying islands due to rising sea levels, increased frequency of severe storms and the retreat of glaciers and icecaps.
We predicted that an otherwise identical question would (i) elicit
lower levels of existence beliefs when worded in terms of «
global warming» rather than «climate change,» and that (ii) this
effect would be more pronounced for respondents who self - identify as Republicans (as opposed to Democrats or Independents) for the reasons discussed above.
And it seems if somehow the ocean's
effect is reduced, one will colder conditions and possibly even higher day time high temperatures, but there less room to get
warmer, as compared to get cooler, and so
global temperature
lowers.
Despite differences in volcanic aerosol parameters employed, models computing the aerosol radiative
effects interactively yield tropical and
global mean
lower - stratospheric
warmings that are fairly consistent with each other and with observations (Ramachandran et al., 2000; Hansen et al., 2002; Yang and Schlesinger, 2002; Stenchikov et al., 2004; Ramaswamy et al., 2006b); however, there is a considerable range in the responses in the polar stratosphere and troposphere.
Anthropogenic
global warming (AGW), a recent
warming of the Earth's
lower atmosphere as evidenced by the
global mean temperature anomaly trend [9], is believed to be the result of an «enhanced greenhouse
effect» mainly due to human - produced increased concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere [10] and changes in the use of land [11]..
It acknowledges that
global warming will continue as long as humans continue increasing the greenhouse
effect, and merely suggests that future
warming will be toward the
lower, slower end of the IPCC estimates.
Other gases, like some of the blowing agents used in some foam insulation products, have much higher
global warming potential but less overall
effect than CO2 because of their much
lower concentrations.
But not only must models of ozone loss and recovery factor in
global warming — abnormally
low stratospheric ozone has also a marked
effect on climate change here and now.
The runaway greenhouse
effect has several meanings ranging from, at the
low end,
global warming sufficient to induce out - of - control amplifying feedbacks, such as ice sheet disintegration and melting of methane hydrates, to, at the high end, a Venus - like hothouse with crustal carbon baked into the atmosphere and a surface temperature of several hundred degrees, a climate state from which there is no escape.
That approach could be done for the
low billions of dollars (far cheaper than either curtailing oil use or allowing a
global warming catastrophe), and almost provably would work if we were sure of the
global warming effect.
Modeled regional and
global climate responses to simulated (107, 110, 111) and reconstructed historical land cover changes over the past century (112) and millennium (113) generally agree that anthropogenic deforestation drives biogeophysical cooling at higher latitudes and
warming in
low latitudes and suggest that biogeochemical impacts tend to exceed biogeophysical
effects (113).
Foster and Rahmstorf (2011) used multiple linear regression to filter out the
effects of the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO), and solar and volcanic activity (Figure 2), and found that the underlying
global surface and
lower atmosphere
warming trends have remained very steady in recent years (Figure 3).
Whether it's the threat of dramatic sea level rise to coastal areas or current climate change refugees from
low - lying islands, the
effects of climate change and
global warming on the world's oceans are both real and imminent.
David Springer wrote: The greenhouse
effect, by trapping infrared radiation, can
lower the albedo of the earth and cause
global warming.
Also, since you agree with P&O's description of how the greenhouse
effect works (i.e. downward long - wave radiation
warms the
lower atmosphere and the ground), will you retract statements like the following «-LSB-...] I demonstrate that the down - welling radiation hypothesis divulged by the proponents of the anthropogenic
global warming [is] incompatible with the laws of thermodynamics.»
Of course, raising awareness in India will help as
global warming will have a massive
effect in their country, including the drop in fresh water from the Himalaya and the eventual flooding of Bangladesh and other
low lying areas.
As for sea level rise: we see 30 years of steep
global temperature rise during a time when, according to Spencer Weart, whose views on this matter are shared by most if not all climate scientists, «the temperature rise up to 1940 was... mainly caused by some kind of natural cyclical effect, not by the still relatively low CO2 emissions...» (from «The Discovery of Global Warming,» by Spencer Weart — https://history.aip.org/climate/co
