Sentences with phrase «planetary climate feedback»

Not exact matches

Moreover, for temperatures similar to the present global mean, water vapor feedback actually cancels out some of the positive curvature from the fourth - power law (see Chapter 4 of my book, Principles of Planetary Climate).

Agree with Mr. Richards (31) that a «budget» for 1.5 C has already been exceeded — due e.g. to «thermal response factor» (Hansen), present aerosol dimming, further emissions during energy transition, unfolding climate feedbacks and planetary response to actual total carbon dioxide eguivalent.

[Response: What if we postulate a feedback between ozone depletion, which causes people to get better sun tans, warming the climate due to decreasing planetary albedo?

The identified atmospheric feedbacks including changes in planetary albedo, in water vapour distribution and in meridional latent heat transport are all poorly represented in zonal energy balance model as the one used in [7] whereas they appear to be of primary importance when focusing on ancient greenhouse climates.

And it should be possible to measure zero feedback equilibrium climate sensitivity on a small scale if not on a planetary one.

Both greenhouse gases further turn up the planetary heat, cause more permafrost to melt, and create a terrible feedback loop of ever - worsening climate change.»
