Not exact matches

It currently keeps our planet 20 °C to 30 °C warmer than it would be otherwise.

Thus we hear so much about «down welling» re - radiation from the atmosphere warming up the planet dangerously because humanity is releasing a certain amount of CO2 that would not otherwise be in the atmosphere.

That is, a warming planet (anthropogenic or otherwise) would result in less volatile temp patterns.

You appear to have your knickers all twisted about the generally accepted greenhouse theory, which states that GH gases (primarily water vapor, plus some smaller ones, such as CO2) keep our planet warmer than it would otherwise be if they were not in our atmosphere.

Most of us have heard that the greenhouse effect keeps the planet much warmer than it would be otherwise, and similarly we may have heard that increasing amounts of greenhouse gases are enhancing the natural greenhouse effect.

At this point, very simple physics takes over, and you are pretty much doomed, by what scientists refer to as the «radiative» properties of carbon dioxide molecules (which trap infrared heat radiation that would otherwise escape to space), to have a warming planet.

Giving away energy - efficient light bulbs or otherwise encouraging energy savings is the cheapest way to reduce planet - warming emissions, because it can help lessen the need for new power plants, many analysts say.

But the idea that the planet is nearing tipping points — thresholds at which change suddenly becomes unstoppable — has driven a wedge between scientists who otherwise share deep concerns about the implications of a human - warmed climate...

Slowing the escape of radiation to space means the planet is warmer than it would have been otherwise.

By capturing thermal radiation (heat energy emitted from the earth's surface components and re radiating it in all directions — part of the same process that is accepted (somewhat like the «earth revolves around the sun accepted») to keep the planet much warmer than it would otherwise be in the absence of any of these molecules — it actually «cools.»

Having full knowledge that warmer SST's are very important for increasing Hurricane intensities would make it a basic requirement in explaining otherwise, something they don't want to say, that a warmer planet causes more hurricanes.

Carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, such as methane, warm the planet by absorbing and redirecting outgoing solar radiation that would otherwise escape back into space.

Natural greenhouse effect The natural level of greenhouse gases in our atmosphere, which keeps the planet about 30C warmer than it would otherwise be - essential for life as we know it.

adding GHGs will warm the planet MORE THAN IT WOULD BE OTHERWISE

Otherwise greenhouse gas emissions will push global warming past 2 ˚C of temperature rise worldwide, threatening the survival of many people currently living on the planet.
