Volk: Yeah, yeah that's becoming more and more of a concern as people are realizing that there is not just the greenhouse effect of CO2 being a greenhouse gas and warming the Earth up, but there is a direct chemical effect of its dissolving in the ocean as carbonic acid, and this is going to affect many marine creatures in the coming decades.

«As the climate gets warmer, the thawing permafrost not only enables the release of more greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, but our study shows that it also allows much more mineral - laden and nutrient - rich water to be transported to rivers, groundwater and eventually the Arctic Ocean,» explained Ryan Toohey, a researcher at the Interior Department's Alaska Climate Science Center in Anchorage and the lead author of the study.

The planet is warming at an unprecedented rate and reducing emissions of greenhouse gasses alone is not enough to remove the risk.

Their findings: natural influences such as changes in the amount of sunlight or volcanic eruptions did not explain the warming trends, but the results matched when increasing levels of greenhouse gas emissions were added to the mix.

Warming of arctic soils and thawing of permafrost thus can have substantial consequences for the global climate, as the large C and N stores could be released to the atmosphere as the greenhouse gases carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O).

Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne, however, made clear several times during a press conference announcing the department's decision that, despite his acknowledgement that the polar bear's sea ice habitat is melting due to global warming, the ESA will not be used as a tool for trying to regulate the greenhouse gas emissions blamed for creating climate change.

The sulfur could produce torrents of acid rain, the carbon dioxide and methane could lead to rapid greenhouse warming, and life on Earth just might not have been worth living for a while.

It's not clear how much of a greenhouse effect that would produce, but it's a good bet that Earth would be a lot warmer — much as it would be, say, if there were no plants drawing carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.

Nutrient runoff may well be creating dead zones in coastal waters, but we can't just stop fertilizing our fields; global warming is a serious threat to coral reefs, but we can't just stop emitting greenhouse gases, and at this point it would probably be too late.

Although computer models used to project climate changes from increasing greenhouse gas concentrations consistently simulate an increasing upward airflow in the tropics with global warming, this flow can not be directly observed.

The discovery that forests are not a panacea for global warming only emerged after they were given a central role in the Kyoto Protocol, the treaty signed two years ago by most of the world's governments in a bid to stem the greenhouse effect.

And those feedbacks ultimately determine the extent to which that initial warming will be amplified, but they don't even change the fact that you elevate greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere and you'll get a warming of the surface.

In climate science, for example, where we don't need an elaborate climate model to understand the basic physics and chemistry of greenhouse gases, so at some level the fact that increased CO2 warms the planet is a consequence of very basic physics and chemistry.

Global warming became big news for the first time during the hot summer of 1988 when now - retired NASA climate scientist James Hansen testified before Congress that the trend was not part of natural climate variation, but rather the result of emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gasses from human activities.
