Sentences with phrase «ocean methane contributed»

Not exact matches

The relative contribution of each trace GHG to increased Eocene and Cretaceous land temperatures at 4 × CO2, assessed with multiple separate coupled - ocean atmosphere HadCM3L model simulations, revealed methane and associated increases in stratospheric water vapor dominate, with nitrous oxide and tropospheric ozone contributing approximately equally to the remainder.

Strong ocean currents promote the release of the potent greenhouse gas methane in the Arctic, according to new research, shedding light on how they may contribute to climate change.

Methane release from the ocean floor is feared to contribute to greenhouse gas budget, not mitigate it.

In short: methane release from the ocean floor may have caused a weakness in the sediments that contributed to development of these huge dents in the Norwegian continental margin.

In a new study, researchers claimed that a group of methane - munching microbes that live in rocky dwellings on the seafloor could be preventing large amounts of greenhouse gas from reaching the surface of the ocean and the atmosphere, where it could contribute to rising global temperatures.

More generally, carbon, methane and nitrous oxide emissions of all kinds — those from aircraft, manufacturing, farm animals, etc. — contribute to climate change and ocean acidification.

But now new research shows that ocean currents may be hindering these critical methane - eating bacteria, thus contributing to global warming.

The obvious ethical restrictions to releasing large amounts of methane (which contributes 25 times more greenhouse effect than carbon dioxide) into the ocean has complicated study of how seepage of natural gas at the ocean floor contributes to global warming.

For example, if more methane remains tied up in the ocean depths, the microbial buffet will contribute more seriously to oxygen depletion, and a corresponding loss of biodiversity.
