According to researchers, additional future warming of tropical Pacific waters — due in part to human activity — should continue the long - term storminess trend.

Schlesinger and Ramankutty reach broadly similar conclusions, but they also point out that even though greenhouse gases now dominate global warming, if part of the warming during this century is indeed due to solar changes, the additional greenhouse effect may be weaker than was previously thought (Nature, vol 360, p 330).

Studies such as Otto et al. (2012) display how the numerical scale of the simulation numbers allows for clear separation between a climate with lower level of heat - trapping gases (1960s) and the recent period (2000s), such that the 2010 heat wave in western Russia was more likely to occur with the additional warming due to climate change (Figure 3).

Additional ridges or «tooth marks» on the sides of the swollen tongue are evidence of excess cold in the digestive system, which is often due to a lack of warming foods in the diet.

However, the Management and Guest Contributors at WUWT accept the basic truth that CO2, water vapor, and other «greenhouse gases» are responsible for an ~ 33ºC boost in mean Earth temperature, that CO2 levels are rising, partly due to our use of fossil fuels, that land use has changed Earth's albedo, and that this human actvity has caused additional warming.

A very rough back of the envelope calculation suggest that energy required to melt that ice is equivalent to 1 - 2 % of the additional energy due to greenhouse warming over the same period.

With even further warming more hydrates are released, additional global soil feedback (extreme soil respiration rates, compost bomb instability) and weathering becomes a driver, now Ocean very stratified, maybe things like permanent El Nino, weather systems probably move very slow — everything gets stuck due to lack of perturbed ocean, no or very little frozen water at the poles.

It is also very crucial to include the most definitive estimates of additional carbon cycle feedbacks that have already been locked in due to current (and future) warming.

Do you agree that when the heating effect of extra CO2 is due almost exclusively to what it itself absorbs from outside, but the cooling effect entails an ability to dissipate heat from the additional source, cooling can now outweigh warming?

Given that this 2.0 C goal calculation apparently excludes the ~ doubling of warming due to the predictable loss of the «sulphate parasol», and excludes all carbon feedback outputs, it is hard to see how an additional forcing from feedback permafrost methane «comparable to what CO2 can do» can be viewed as anything but calamitous.

Here we would like to try to distinguish between warming in the nocturnal boundary layer due to a redistribution of heat and warming due to the accumulation of heat... It is likely that the observed warming in minimum temperature, whether caused by additional greenhouse forcing or land use changes or other land surface dynamics, is reflecting a redistribution of heat by turbulence - not an accumulation of heat.

The supposedly dangerous warming is due to the additional assumption of constant relative humidity, which is put into GCMs.

We know that the warming effect of atmospheric carbon dioxide is logarithmic (meaning each additional unit has less effect than the one preceding) and estimates of warming due to increased carbon dioxide since the Industrial Revolution are really quite small.

The fact that there has on any basis been little further warming over the course of the last 10 to 15 years over and above that which had already occured by the mid / late 19902 suggests that recent extreme weather events are not the consequence of additional warming (there having been all but none these past 15 years) and therefore must be due to natural variability of weather events in an ever changing and chaotic world in which we live.

Studies such as Otto et al. (2012) display how the numerical scale of the simulation numbers allows for clear separation between a climate with lower level of heat - trapping gases (1960s) and the recent period (2000s), such that the 2010 heat wave in western Russia was more likely to occur with the additional warming due to climate change (Figure 3).

«Arctic Ice in «Death Spiral» with additional heating due to global warming, the extent of sea ice cover has gotten smaller and smaller over the summers since the 1980s.

Climate change has been steadily raising the earth's average temperature in recent decades, but climatologists expected additional warming this year and next due to the influence of El Niño.

The social cost of carbon is the discounted monetary value of future climate change damages due to additional CO2 emissions (for example, the costs of adverse agricultural effects, protecting against rising sea levels, health impacts, species loss, risks of extreme warming scenarios, and so on).

Due to the amount of forcing that has been added to the system, the negative feedbacks are not expected to outweigh the positive feedbacks, therefore additional warming is expected.

The divergence observed during the last decades is likely due to (1) an additional anthropogenic warming component, which was quite significant during the last decades, and (2) to the necessity of using a more advanced model to obtain the temperature signature of the solar variability.

The worlds oceans have warmed only 0.09 C over the past 55 years [Levitus et al 2012], which could only warm the atmosphere by a maximum of an additional 0.09 C due to both the 1st and 2nd laws of thermodynamics.

So there could be some additional future warming due to sequestration of heat in the deep ocean.

Like I said, «The worlds oceans have warmed only 0.09 C over the past 55 years [Levitus et al 2012], which could only warm the atmosphere by a maximum of an additional 0.09 C due to both the 1st and 2nd laws of thermodynamics.»

Criteria Description Fish Toxicity Measure of the acute toxicity to fish (both saltwater and freshwater) Daphnia Toxicity Measure of the acute toxicity to Daphnia (invertebrate aquatic organisms) Algae Toxicity Measure of the acute toxicity to aquatic plants Persistence / Biodegradation Rate of degradation for a substance in the environment (air, soil, or water) Bioaccumulation Potential for a substance to accumulate in fatty tissue and magnify up the food chain Climatic relevance Measure of the impact a substance has on the climate (e.g., ozone depletion, global warming, etc.) Other Any additional characteristic (e.g., soil organism toxicity, WGK water classification, etc.) relevant to the overall evaluation but not included in the previous criteria 1.3.3 Material Class Criteria The following material classes are flagged due to the concern that at some point in their life cycle they may have negative impacts on human and environmental health.

What matters is that it is self - evident that the warming that has already occurred due to the current anthropogenic excess of CO2 is already having destructive, costly, and worsening impacts, and there is certain to be additional warming from that level of CO2, and adding more CO2 year is only going to make things much, much worse.

These effects combined with an estimated decrease in electricity demand by 2 % due to warmer temperatures, could provide an additional 11 TWh of annual energy.

I have absolutely no doubt that additional CO2 in the atmosphere will cause warming (in must), and I agree that at least some of the warming measured over the past 60 + years is most likely due to GHG forcing.

A very warm desk has become available at Randstad Business Support here in the very heart of Swansea due to the fact we are growing our service offering within the Swansea market and are keen to bring an additional recruitment consultant to our growing team.
