But then I read IPCC FAR WG1 s. 1.2.1, which includes this stunning nugget: [quote -RCB- The concentration [of CO2 following a pulse] will actually never return to its original value, but reach
a new equilibrium level, about 15 percent of the total amount of CO2 emitted will remain in the atmosphere.
At this moment new buyers emerge and take the price to
a new equilibrium level or new resistance level.
Although there will be market instability as it attempts to find
new equilibrium levels, and economic changes in the short term, the resulting changes will provide a huge bonanza for consumers everywhere except in countries with large, inexpensive - to - extract oil reservoirs, whose value has fallen precipitously.
Clay content and initial organic matter content are the main factors in the determination of
new equilibrium levels of carbon and nitrogen in the soil.
Not exact matches
If it is a
new era of faster growth and
new investment opportunities, then the
equilibrium real interest rate (the rate at which monetary policy neither boosts nor restrains the economy) would rise, so the central bank would be right to move interest rates towards that
level.
Changing environmental conditions and land management may induce a temporary or definite change of the
equilibrium to a
new level that is considered stable.
By the early 1980s, dramatic increases in union membership began to
level off at a
new equilibrium.
By the early 1980s, the percentage of unionized workers in government had skyrocketed from trivial
levels two decades earlier to a robust 37 percent - where, as with teachers, it stabilized at a
new equilibrium.
Eventually the response is a «give up,» after which, the US Dollar slowly overshoots and then finds a
new temporary
equilibrium level, and the rest of the world adjusts to it.
So while I'm confident of a step - up here, based on the revenue / earnings drivers I've fully confirmed already (vs. those still to be confirmed), I'm also conscious that changes in fee rates / AUME, sterling, possible
new business investment, etc. could eat into this earnings step - up, and / or a
new revenue & earnings
equilibrium might simply re-emerge (albeit, at higher
levels).
After all, precipitation went down in the late 19th century, and Lake Victoria found an
equilibrium at a
new, lower
level without drying up and disappearing.
Equilibrium climate sensitivity describes how much the planet will warm if carbon dioxide
levels were to double, and the Earth goes on to cope and stabilize to the
new atmosphere.
Fred, are you distinguishing the stratosphere temperature — during the period of nonequilibrium from — during the
new equilibrium period after CO2 stops increasing and the warming has
leveled off at a higher temperature?
So, if the atmosphere warms up, the absolute humidity
level of the atmosphere must increase until a
new equilibrium is reached.
The mass balance and d13C balance shows that vegetation as sink is not large enough to absorb all human CO2 if the oceans are a source and ice cores show that CO2 and temperature go to a (surprisingly linear)
new equilibrium for every change in temperature
level, not a sustained increase or decrease.
The alternative formula, that a change in temperature causes a change in dynamic
equilibrium between CO2 release and CO2 absorption is far more normal in nature: higher temperatures lead to a
new equilibrium at a higher CO2
level.
In your many lines — thankyou — i found the key argument how you can be convinced that the temperature only creates variation for a very short time: YOu write: «The net result is that a
new equilibrium (at a higher CO2
level) is reached in relative short time, between a few months (seasons) to a few years (sustained higher average temperature
level).»
The seasonal trend is what it shows: CO2
levels follow temperature up and down with a fast response, again to a
new (temperature)
equilibrium.
But as the emissions show a constant increase, there is no
new equilibrium in sight, despite a constant increasing atmospheric CO2
level (at 55 % of the emissions).
A
new equilibrium (at a higher CO2
level) can be reached, if the increase in atmospheric CO2 is sufficient to increase the uptake by the oceans and biosphere to the same
levels as the continuous addition.
About the one year to multiyear effect of a one time temperature change and stable temperature after that: The real first year sensitivity of CO2 for temperature will be 2 - 4 ppmv / °C, the second year it will not be zero, but a lot smaller, as a
new equilibrium between temperature and CO2
levels will be approached.
D. Conclusion: The influence of temperature on CO2
levels is strong on very short time periods but fades when approaching a
new equilibrium.
This has boosted the GH gas concentrations to
levels not seen since the mid-Pliocene, and the planet will warm to a
new equilibrium.
The
new entropy at
equilibrium is higher and stays constant at the higher
level b / c the control volume is adiabatic.
19 seconds after the initial injection, the water
levels in both sides had stopped moving, and had reached a
new equilibrium.
It is defined as the amount of warming expected if carbon dioxide (CO2) concentrations doubled from pre-industrial
levels and then remained constant until Earth's temperature reached a
new equilibrium over timescales of centuries to millennia.
It doesn't change the fact that there is more of that element and it will seek a
new level of
equilibrium with a higher
level in the atmosphere.
When the variables which alter the
level stored in the tub are changed (knobs turned) there will be an imbalance between inflow and outflow until the
new equalibrium is reached — a
equilibrium at which a different
level of energy is stored in the tub.
That's not actually correct (think about how long it takes changes in sea
level to reach
equilibrium with a
new temperature), but I think I understand why you made the argument.
if a disturbance is a continuous fixed addition, then the process will increase assymptotely to a
new, higher
level equilibrium.
In short the PETM seems to contradict the AGW point of
equilibrium climate sensitivity based on a
new level of forcing through CO2 increase..
Maybe there would be a
new, higher
level of
equilibrium, after «government agency» intervention had screwed everything up in pursuit of re-inventing the wheel.
