Sentences with phrase «other halocarbons»

Not exact matches

Combustion of coal, oil, and natural gas, and to a lesser extent deforestation, land - cover change, and emissions of halocarbons and other greenhouse gases, are rapidly increasing the atmospheric concentrations of climate - warming gases.

In 1990, emissions of halocarbons and other halogenated compounds occurred almost exclusively in the OECD90 region, which contributed 95 % to the world total (Figure 5 - 19).

Results show that the globally and annually averaged radiative forcing caused by the observed loss of sea ice in the Arctic between 1979 and 2007 is approximately 0.1 W m − 2; a complete removal of Arctic sea ice results in a forcing of about 0.7 W m − 2, while a more realistic ice - free - summer scenario (no ice for one month, decreased ice at all other times of the year) results in a forcing of about 0.3 W m − 2, similar to present - day anthropogenic forcing caused by halocarbons.
