Sentences with phrase «observed warming of the planet»

A new study published in the Nature Geosciences journal this week by largely UK - based climate scientists has led to claims in the media that climate models are «wrong» and have significantly overestimated the observed warming of the planet.

The paper caused quite a stir, with parts of the media claiming that climate models — the basis for carbon budget estimates — are «wrong» and have overstated the observed warming of the planet.

Scientists keep track of natural forcings, but the observed warming of the planet over the second half of the 20th century can only be explained by adding in anthropogenic radiative forcings, namely increases in greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide.

Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas and we can demonstrate clearly that the observed warming of the planet would not have occurred without that change in atmospheric composition.

Not exact matches

According to Wordsworth, «Even then, however, the warm / wet early Mars does not explain the patchwork of Martian water erosion features and valley networks observed on the planet today, and why these features tend to be concentrated near the planet's equator.»

«There is no agreement among climatologists as to the relative contributions of Man and Nature» to the warming of the planet that has already been observed, they claim.

As the planet warms, scientists have observed a radical disruption in the geographic distribution of thousands of animals and plants, which has unknown consequences for species survival.

Such a tendency is observed with other variables and is consistent with model projections of a warmer planet.

The Solomon Committee report amplifies this conclusion when it confirms that we observe, in any year, only 50 % of the warming to which we have committed the planet by allowing atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases to rise to the then current level.

Unlike a belief in leprechauns, there is a preponderance of evidence that CO2 warms the planet and that the anthropogenic contribution of CO2 to the atmosphere is causing the observed warming trend.

If you question whether or not our atmosphere warms the planet, consider what the temperature should be at the surface based on the Stefan - Boltzmann Law and observe the temperatures of the atmosphereless moon.

DSCOVR was designed to directly measure climate change for the first time ever by observing our warming planet from the unique vantage of the Lagrange Point — one million miles towards the Sun.

Hi gurujames5, First of all we have not observed warming on every planet in our solar system.

It looks likely that the rapid warming of the Arctic has broken the thermometer temperature record in two different ways - firstly by violating the assumption that unobserved regions of the planet warm at a broadly similar rate to observed regions, and secondly by violating the assumption that neighbouring regions of the planet's surface warm at a similar rate.

Using observed data for the past and the IPCC assumption that 93 % of past warming was anthropogenic, I have just defended the position that raising CO2 level to ~ 1,000 ppmv by burning up all the fossil fuels that exist on our planet will not cause alarming warming.

They are also wrong in assuming that the Sun was capable of warming the surface of Venus, Earth or other planets to the observed temperature which is then maintained by back radiation being supposedly the only process that slows such surface cooling.

I believe, largely from your presentations of the observed data and discussion, as well as having read thousands of other climate change articles and discussion, that it's our planet's oceans that are the biggest players in climate warming and cooling, especially on short timescales.

For 46 % of the surface of the global oceans (about 33 % of the surface of the planet), the models doubled the observed warming rate.

Tropical cyclone activity and intensity increasing Record droughts, floods, heat waves, cold spells, high tides occurring Unequivocal warming of the climate system observed with very high confidence that human activities are to blame Temperature rising even more dramatically in Arctic, threatening ice loss and extinction of species Halving human CO2 emissions immediately might save the planet from catastrophe.

There has been no test, or observation of CO2 warming the atmosphere, or it «holding the heat», or any other speculated property of this gases so called greenhouse effect — not observed on this real planet's atmosphere.

This page presents the latest information from several independent measures of observed climate change that illustrate an overwhelmingly compelling story of a planet that is undergoing global warming.

Aubry notes that while the planet continues to warm, scientists have observed a slight decline in the rate of global warming over the last 10 to 15 years.

It will also include scientifically refuting the apparent falsification of the above «dangerous AGW» hypothesis, which has resulted from the observed «lack of warming» of our planet over the past decade (atmosphere, at both the surface and troposphere since 2001, sea surface temperature since ARGO measurements were installed in 2003), despite record increase in atmospheric CO2, as measured at Mauna Loa, by demonstrating with empirical data where the «missing energy» is hiding.

There is a laundry list of possible or observed impacts, from the return of the megadroughts western North America experienced during the Medieval Climate Anomaly, to the continuation of the already observed «death spiral» of the Arctic sea ice, with its implications for Northern hemisphere weather and increased warming of the whole planet.

But in defiance of the naysayers who want to chalk the recent warming up to natural cycles, there is insufficient evidence that enough extra solar energy is reaching our planet to account for the observed rise in global temperatures.

These cloud changes are, of course, hardly without consequence — the growth of so - called dry zones or drylands, as the planet warms, has been long predicted and indeed, observed by climate scientists.
