Not exact matches

Given Tesla Motors Inc's (NASDAQ: TSLA) potential positive catalysts, including the January 4 launch of Gigafactory, a potential Model 3 launch in the summer of 2017 and depressed sentiment on the name, Pacific Crest's Brad Erickson is «warming to the name.»

The findings suggest that effective new greenhouse gas controls could help lessen the effects of climate change on the release of carbon from soils of the northern permafrost region and therefore decrease the potential for a positive feedback of permafrost carbon release on climate warming.

[So] there is potential that these tremendous stores of carbon in these soils can be a positive feedback for more warming.»

Warmer, wetter conditions in the Arctic are accelerating the loss of carbon stored in tundra and permafrost soils, creating a potential positive feedback that further boosts global temperatures, a Dartmouth College study finds.

Forcing by heat conduction will certainly cause something to warm up.if there is a thermal gradient (potential difference) but only if the thing being warmed up is at the cooler end of the gradient in terms of radiation or heat (the «positive flow of energy»).

Extratropical cyclones (ETCs) intensify due to three vertically interacting positive potential vorticity anomalies that are associated with warm temperature anomalies at the surface, condensational heating in the lower - level atmosphere, and stratospheric intrusion in the upper - level atmosphere.

Perhaps the potential role of human pollution in causing a «devastating drought» sits too uncomfortably with the intended message of «positive impacts» from global warming.

This suggests a potential positive feedback loop wherein a warming climate supports larger algal populations, larger algal populations provide more organic matter to support more methane production, and a portion of the methane produced escapes to the atmosphere, where it functions to further warm climate.

In fact, it was one of my criticisms earlier that AGW theory seems overly intent on finding positive feedback loops, while not considering negative feedbacks seriously enough — one such potential negative feedback is that on a warmer Earth, more water is evaporated into clouds, in turn cooling things back off.

The potential energy associated with the positive buoyancy of your rising parcel must be enough to allow the warm dry air parcel to descend.

So if the ascending parcel has a positive buoyancy (being warmer), then the associated potential energy can be available to drive the descending parcel down.

Positive feedback means runaway warming «One of the oft - cited predictions of potential warming is that a doubling of atmospheric carbon dioxide levels from pre-industrial levels — from 280 to 560 parts per million — would alone cause average global temperature to increase by about 1.2 °C.

«Our results suggest that the decline of the world's grasslands may result in large part from positive feedback between warming - associated drought events and reductions in grasslands» potential production,» said George Hendrey of City University of New York.

Positive Outlook Counseling Dallas provides a warm, supportive environment in which individuals, families and couples work to overcome barriers which are limiting their full potential.
