Sentences with phrase «planetary temperature increase»

Once the appropriate planetary temperature increase has been set by the delay in transmission through the atmosphere then equilibrium is restored between radiant energy in and radiant energy out.

Because Al Gore switched his CO2 and temperature curves to make it look like rising carbon dioxide levels caused planetary temperature increases — when in fact increasing temperatures always preceded higher CO2 — shouldn't he have corrected his mistake, returned his ill - gotten millions, and shared his 2007 Nobel Prize and money with Irena Sendler, who should have gotten it for saving 2,500 Jewish children during World War II?

Average planetary temperatures increased by a «net» of 0.7 degrees C (1.3 F) between 1900 and 2000, as atmospheric carbon dioxide levels continued to rise — but not in a straight line: they rose 1900 - 1940, cooled 1940 - 1975 and warmed 1975 - 1995.

«We can see now at true planetary scale that increasing water temperature will have a huge impact on microbial life in the ocean,» said Shinici Sunagawa, an EMBL staff scientist and a senior author on a second Tara paper.

ALMA studies all phases of planet forming: it probes protoplanetary discs — planetary embryos — at high resolution; it can capture the increasing brightness and temperature of planets in the process of formation and directly detect how giant planets cleanse their orbits within the discs.

Surely such a wager should sound interesting to those who think the planetary temperature will increase several tenths of a degree during that period.

The general argument however is being discussed by rasmus in the context of planetary energy balance: the impact of additional CO2 is to reduce the outgoing longwave radiation term and force the system to accumulate excess energy; the imbalance is currently on the order of 1.45 * (10 ^ 22) Joules / year over the globe, and the temperature must rise allowing the outgoing radiation term to increase until it once again matches the absorbed incoming stellar flux.

Scientists in the Department of Geophysics and Planetary Science at Tel Aviv University tell us that for every one degree increase in temperature, lightning strikes will go up another 10 percent.

His estimate for the surface temperature rise due to a doubling of atmospheric CO2 for the zero feedback case is 0.5 C which is further reduced to 0.3 C due to negative feedback caused by the increase in planetary clouds which is in agreement with Idso's experimental analysis to determine the planet's response to a change in forcing.

Detailed analysis of the paleo record shows atmospheric CO2 levels have increased and decreased with no change in planetary temperature.

In our simulations, temperature and wind changes induced by increasing greenhouse gases alter the propagation of planetary waves.

First, this improvement in planetary prospects will still leave the global temperature increase more than twice as high as the internationally agreed target of 1.5 ˚C.

A slower growth rate of the net climate forcing may have contributed to the standstill of global temperature in the past decade, but it can not explain the standstill, because it is known that the planet has been out of energy balance, more energy coming in from the sun than energy being radiated to space.10 The planetary energy imbalance is due largely to the increase of climate forcings in prior decades and the great thermal inertia of the ocean.

Over the past 16 years, while CO2 levels continued to increase «dramatically,» average planetary temperatures did not budge.

And to maintain or slightly increase planetary temperature is also very much a global good if — as Ruddiman and other scientists assert — the human production of greenhouse gases is helping to hold our planetary environment in its historic, benignly warm, interglacial mode.»

It does magnify the night - time greenhouse effect by warming the clouds or the higher levels of the atmosphere, thus increasing the amount of heat radiated back to the surface; though the overall effect is to reduce net planetary greenhouse warming by limiting the temperature gradient.

But no... let's ignore planetary geologic changes, claim that there could be any other cause for the temperature increase, and blame temperature on a trace gas concentration that is temperature dependent.

Analysis of top of the atmosphere radiation changes Vs changes in planetary temperature also support the assertion that planetary clouds increase in the tropics thereby reflecting more sunlight off into space thereby resisting forcing changes rather than amplifying them.

... Global temperature becomes an unreliable diagnostic of planetary condition as the ice melt rate increases.

1) Latitudinal temperature anomaly paradox (Strike 1) The latitudinal temperature anomaly paradox is the fact that the latitudinal pattern of warming in the last 50 years does match the pattern of warming that would occur if the recent increase in planetary temperature was caused by the CO2 mechanism.

2) The 18 year pause without warming (Strike 2) As atmospheric CO2 is increasing with time, the delta T (increase in planetary temperature due to the increase in CO2) should also be increasing with time.

The observations do not support the assertion that the increase in atmospheric CO2 was the principal reason for the increase in planetary temperature.

Scientists have calculated that, were the world ever to burn all its fossil fuels, thus increasing levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide and stoking up planetary temperatures, that would be enough to melt the entire Antarctic continent and raise sea levels by 60 metres.

In the 1980s, some scientists suggested that the greenhouse effect might already be doing what theorists had warned of: increasing planetary temperatures.

(Right) The temperature as driven by CH4 radiative forcing increases strongly during the methane spike, then subsides following the time scale of planetary (oceanic) cooling.

A wide range of other observations (such as reduced Arctic sea ice extent and increased ocean heat content) and indications from the natural world (such as poleward shifts of temperature - sensitive species of fish, mammals, insects, etc.) together provide incontrovertible evidence of planetary - scale warming.

The mechanism most often presented is planetary cloud cover increases or decreases in a manner to resist a change in planetary temperature.

The mechanism most often presented is planetary cloud cover increases or decreases in manner to resist a change in planetary temperature.

We find that an increase in poleward heat transport by the tropical ocean results in a warming of the extra-tropics, relatively little change in the tropical temperatures, moistening of the subtropical dry zones, and partial but incomplete compensation of the planetary - scale energy transport by the atmosphere.

It means that, for every W m $ ^ -LCB--2 -RCB- $ of excess energy we put into our system, our model predicts that the surface temperature must increase by $ -1 / \ lambda = 0.3 $ K in order to re-establish planetary energy balance.

I have a notion that wind speeds decrease as temperatures increase, based on the trend of increasing planetary wind speeds as you get further from the sun.

To claim that the global avg temp might as well have decreased 0.7 degrees as increased 0.7 degrees since preindustrial times flies in the face of basic physics, namely that the planetary temperature is governed (a.o.) by the planetary energy balance, and that this balance has substantially changed over the past 100 or so years due in large part to anthropogenic climate forcings, with a bit of help from natural climate forcings.
