Sentences with phrase «more heat waves because»

This study follows on the heels of a recently leaked draft of an Intergovernmental Panel of Climate Change report, which noted that scientists believe we are experiencing more heat waves because of climate change — which yes, we're still sure humans are causing.

I did a huge - ass Sunday cook - up this week because I didn't want to turn on my oven any more than I needed to during a heat wave.

«The increased air pollution that typically accompanies heat waves can especially harm children, who have a higher risk of developing asthma, have lungs that are still developing and growing, and have higher exposure because they breathe at a higher rate than adults and spend more time outdoors engaging in vigorous physical activity.»

Scorching summertime heat waves in Europe, Asia and North America, as well as extreme cold snaps in central Asia, have become more likely because of changes in the way air is flowing over those regions, a new study detailed in the journal Nature suggests.

In this case, the scientists looked at how much more likely the extreme temperatures recorded across Europe were during this heat wave because of warming, and found clear indications that it upped the odds.

A May 2014 heat wave in Australia was made 23 times more likely because of warming, according to one of the BAMS studies.

So in this sense, the 2002 drought and associated heat waves were more extreme than the earlier droughts, because the impact of the low rainfall was exacerbated by high potential evaporation (Karoly et al., 2003; Nicholls, 2004).

sheesh 2 DEGREES just look at the s ** t we are getting at 0.8 degrees Its like goodbye coral reefs, goodbye amazon rainforest, goodbye himalayan glaciers that provide water to 40 % worlds population (lot of poeple in china), goodbye east india monsoon rains needed to grow crops, hello more droughts, hello more forest fires, hello more heat waves, hello more stronger huricanes / typhones / cyclones, hello more floods (because warmer oceans have even more water evaporated from them turned into clouds and blown over land so even more rain pours down at once), hello more jellyfish (they thrive in acidified oceans because of CO2 absorbtion).

So yes we can say an event we experienced of such and such a magnitude (floods, heat waves etc.) are now more likely, but we can't say any certain event was worse, because nature is using a whole different set of random numbers.

Seal levels keep going up, more natural lakes are drying up and desert areas like Kern county suffer frequent heat waves because of coal power plants.

... climate change is hitting home in more ways than the heat wave we experienced this summer... the giant Australian cuttlefish, which breeds in the gulf waters near Adelaide, has undergone a catastrophic 90 % decline in numbers over the past few years because the waters are too warm for them to breed.»

I'm all for more ocean data because the fascination with arm - waving on missing heat, rapid SLR, bad acid trips, etc. are quite boring.

Now we can see where Headline C came from: global warming made the expected frequency 23 times larger (because 8,547 / 379 = 23) so we expect to see a heat wave of this magnitude (or warmer) 23 times more often because of global warming.

In Los Angeles, African - Americans are nearly twice as likely to die during a heat wave as the average resident, in part because they more often lack access to air conditioning.

Ironically, people in cold regions can be most vulnerable to heat waves, because they are not acclimated to extremely hot weather, and because buildings designed for cold climates may not offer protection against extreme heat and high humidity.32 The elderly and those who do not have access to air - conditioning will likely be less resilient in the face of more frequent heat waves.19

The IPCC scientists predict that because of global warming the future will bring more and deadlier extreme weather of all kinds: more hurricanes, tornadoes, downpours, heat waves, droughts and blizzards.

... And with a general increase in SSTs, I expect certain kinds of low - frequency variability, in particular those in which SST anomalies produce a perturbation wave train in the westerlies allowing for global teleconnections, to be more sensitive to the same SST anomalies, because of the exponential temperature dependence of water vapor concentration (involved in latent heating, enhances deep convection, etc.).

The researchers say that with more solar energy going into the Arctic Ocean because of lost ice, there is reason to expect more extreme weather events, such as heavy snowfall, heat waves, and flooding in North America and Europe but these will vary in location, intensity, and timescales.

The heat wave was surely largely only a deadly event in the statistics in so far as it affected people already weakened severely by other factors, and even that only because of inadequate air conditioning, which might consume a lot of energy, but would do an awful lot more good than trying to lower Northern European summer temperatures through lower CO2.

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.

If you thought last year's heat waves were bad, brace yourself because there's a good chance things are going to become even more intense.

«Global warming is important because it is so persistent and global in scale, and because it brings more extreme events such as heat waves — not because it makes every place warm all the time.
