Sentences with phrase «mean more heat waves»

And even a mild temperature increase will likely mean more heat waves and higher sea - level rise and so on.

It's getting hot in here, and a hotter planet means more heat waves.

Not exact matches

This means that the science of climate change may partially undergo a shift of its own, moving from trying to prove it is a problem (it is now «very likely» that greenhouse gases in the atmosphere have already caused enough warming to trigger stronger droughts, heat waves, more and bigger forest fires and more extreme storms and flooding) to figuring out ways to fix it.

And more heat waves mean more illness and death, as the normally cool Bay Area lacks air conditioners on the scale seen in other parts of the country, the group said.

In the latest 161 - page document, dated March 9, EPA officials include several new studies highlighting how a warming planet is likely to mean more intense U.S. heat waves and hurricanes, shifting migration patterns for plants and wildlife, and the possibility of up to a foot of global sea level rise in the next century.

While heat waves are a regular part of summer weather, the steady warming of the planet means those heat waves are getting ever hotter, making record heat more and more likely

«since the 1960s, the mean heat - wave intensity, length and number across the Eastern Mediterranean region had increased by a factor of five or more»

And the European heat wave of 2003 may be more attributable to AGW than experts figured, if the «normal» cyclical spike aspect of it was also partly due to AGW (a higher mean, plus a higher SD).

You might expect to see heat waves on the list — even though climate and weather are two different (but related) phenomena — but the report is a good reminder of the tremendous scope of problems a warming globe can cause; it's not just about an extra couple degrees and wearing fewer sweaters: «With warming temperatures, the breeding cycle of malaria - carrying mosquitoes is shortening, which means more mosquitoes — and malaria — each year.»

While heatwaves are an annual occurrence in India, global warming has meant recent heat waves are hotter and as a result more deadly.

The small global mean change, however, is expected to create large problems in sensitive areas of the Earth system — rising sea level leading to increased coastal flooding, more heat waves and drought, and the disappearance of summer Arctic sea ice, to name a few.

Increase in temperature means an increase in heating which means there will be more heat wave days and more reasons for occurrence of dust storm and thunderstorms.

Summary of how they got to this finding: They use CMIP models which, if not outright flawed, have not proved their validity in estimated temperature levels in the 2030 to 2070 timeframe, are used as the basis for extrapolations that assert the creation of more and more 3 - sigma «extreme events» of hot weather; this is despite the statistical contradiction and weak support for predicting significant increases in outlier events based on mean increases; then, based on statistical correlations between mortality and extreme heat events (ie heat waves), temperature warming trends are conjured into an enlargement of the risks from heat events; risks increase significantly only by ignoring obvious adjustments and mitigations any reasonable community or person would make to adapt to warmer weather.

It just means that for the time being, natural variability is the primary contributor to heat waves more often than global warming is.

Shorter wavelengths though more energetic does not mean that they are therefore more powerful in penetrating matter, they are much weaker than the longer waves depending on the make up of the matter as more likely to get reflected and scattered because of their tiny size, and here, my point, is that the Solar energy balance graphic is wrong, because it has reversed the properties by giving Light energies the ability to penetrate and heat matter which is the actual, real, property of Thermal IR.
