Sentences with phrase «out of the ice age increased»

It's important academically, but the most important point is temperatures coming out of the ice age increased very slowly.

Not exact matches

To put things in perspective, the global temperature shift between the last Ice Age and now is believed to be 10 °F; and an estimated 11 °F increase in world temperatures was sufficient to wipe out 95 % of species at the end of the Permian Period 250 million years ago.

The next 6 decades to 1949 are all warming as temperatures climb out of the Little Ice Age, (when the Thames froze) from about 9.1 to 9.6 degrees C. For the last 6 decades, to 2009, we are looking for the impact (or non-impact) of exponentially increasing CO2.

The next 6 decades to 1949 are all warming as temperatures climb out of the Little Ice Age, from about 9.1 to 9.6 degrees C. For the last 6 decades, to 2009, we are looking for the impact (or non-impact) of exponentially increasing CO2.

The science tells us that increased solar insolation brought the Earth out of the little ice age, but solar insolation has declined over the last half century — just as human forcing took over.

The natural variation that has led us out of the Little Ice Age has a bit of frosting on the cake by land use; and, part of that land use has resulted in a change in vegetation and soil CO2 loss so that we see a rise in CO2 and the CO2 continues to rise without a temperature accompaniment (piano player went to take a leak), as the land use has all but gobbled up most of the arable land North of 30N and we are starting to see low till farming and some soil conservation just beginning when the soil will again take up the CO2, and the GMO's will increase yields, then CO2 will start coming down on its own and we can go to bed listening to Ave Maria to address another global crisis to get the populous all scared begging governments to tell us much ado about... nothing.

This also explains why, as you point out, CO2 levels have in the past been high during an ice age (although never at 5000ppm — the late - Ordovician would have been a contender but this recent paper — ttp: / / geology.gsapubs.org/content/37/10/951.abstract — demonstrates that CO2 consumption increased during the mid-Ordovician as a result of continental weathering, however levels were held up by volcanic outgassing.

The inconvenient ice / air age adjustment that is necessary in order to align that false historic record with the recent MLO estimates is another aspect of the attempts to reconstruct past atmospheric CO2 content which warrants careful independent scrutiny, along with the dubious statistical manipulations that are carried out in order to produce the MLO estimates of recent CO2 increase.

If the rise in CO2 continues unchecked, warming of the same magnitude as the increase out of the ice age can be expected by the end of this century or soon after.

Idso's calculations for climate sensitivity are greatly at odds with the paleoclimate data; if sensitivity were as small as he proposes, the Milankovic changes in solar forcing wouldn't be enough to kickstart the climb out of an ice age, but this still presupposes AGW, that CO2 emissions will increase the temperature by some amount.
