Not exact matches

sunstance = substance, though I kind of like the new word «sunstance» which should either mean standing in a ray of sunlight feeling the warm glow on your face an appreciating being alive or possibly the viewpoint one might have if standing where the sun is looking at the earth.

This is an attitude that some sincere climate change «skeptics» (as opposed to ExxonMobil - funded deliberate frauds) exhibit: their so - called «skepticism» arises from an a priori sense that human activities can not possibly affect the Earth system in the way that the theory of anthropogenic global warming describes.

Computer models reveal that exoplanets with very saline oceans could have circulation patterns opposite to that on Earth, resulting in dramatic warming of their polar regions, possibly extending their range of habitability.

On the other hand, lead - laden clouds send more heat from the earth back into space, cooling the world slightly and possibly lessening global warming by greenhouse gases.

Since we know that the earth's surface is significantly warmed by geothermal heat, that geothermal heat is variable, that truly titanic forces are at work in the earth's core changing its structure and alignment, and that geothermal heat flux has a much greater influence on surface temperatures than variations in carbon dioxide can possibly have, it makes sense to include its effects in a compendium of global warming discussion parameters.

This is an attitude that some sincere climate change «skeptics» (as opposed to ExxonMobil - funded deliberate frauds) exhibit: their so - called «skepticism» arises from an a priori sense that human activities can not possibly affect the Earth system in the way that the theory of anthropogenic global warming describes.

There are many things that have caused climate changes in the past — in both directions, and man is now adding heavily to the warming, as is possibly the Earth's inconsistent orbit (which is due about now).

In combination these two could possibly produce a «measurable» decline in the rates of warming, but I suspect that it would be measurable only if there was an equivalent Earth without the greater melting and evaporation rates so that a comparison could be made.

And the only way to do that is with technical fixes that can be applied as quickly as possible — evolutionary changes in the way that human beings relate to the rest of the Earth's biosphere can not possibly have any impact in the very short time frame that is required to prevent the worst outcomes of global warming.

The one and only influence that carbon dioxide could possibly have in the atmosphere is to increase the dispersal of reflected IR energy from the earth's surface, but most certainly not warming it in any way whatsoever.

If you were a nerdy scientist and could a great salary for playing computer games in an air - conditioned office, get in the media by making a scary climate prediction, and possibly become famous — maybe even getting to fly to an overseas global warming conference in Al Gore's private jet, and while doing all of this you can tell everyone you are working» hard» (9 am to 5 pm heh heh) «to save the Earth»....

Earth system and carbon - cycle feedbacks such as the release of carbon from thawing permafrost or vegetation changes affecting terrestrial carbon storage or albedo may further extend and possibly amplify warming (6).

«The problem is that the earth is very large and the temperature is always changing, everywhere, so how can we possibly tell if overall it is a mere half - degree warmer today than it was around 1902?

I also have a very difficult time understanding how global warming could possibly have anything to do with the composition of the earth.

Furthermore, with the recent increases of late season hurricanes reaching the northeastern region of the United States, Irene in 2011 and Sandy's recent landfall in New Jersey on October 29, 2012 and the record breaking temperatures we are now seeing in the western United States where temperatures are reaching within a few degrees of the hottest recorded temperature on earth, 134 degrees Fahrenheit, are more evidence that the global climate is changing possibly due to global warming.

«Climate science» as it is used by warmists implies adherence to a set of beliefs: (1) Increasing greenhouse gas concentrations will warm the Earth's surface and atmosphere; (2) Human production of CO2 is producing significant increases in CO2 concentration; (3) The rate of rise of temperature in the 20th and 21st centuries is unprecedented compared to the rates of change of temperature in the previous two millennia and this can only be due to rising greenhouse gas concentrations; (4) The climate of the 19th century was ideal and may be taken as a standard to compare against any current climate; (5) global climate models, while still not perfect, are good enough to indicate that continued use of fossil fuels at projected rates in the 21st century will cause the CO2 concentration to rise to a high level by 2100 (possibly 700 to 900 ppm); (6) The global average temperature under this condition will rise more than 3 °C from the late 19th century ideal; (7) The negative impact on humanity of such a rise will be enormous; (8) The only alternative to such a disaster is to immediately and sharply reduce CO2 emissions (reducing emissions in 2050 by 80 % compared to today's rate) and continue further reductions after 2050; (9) Even with such draconian CO2 reductions, the CO2 concentration is likely to reach at least 450 to 500 ppm by 2100 resulting in significant damage to humanity; (10) Such reductions in CO2 emissions are technically feasible and economically affordable while providing adequate energy to a growing world population that is increasingly industrializing.

It has been predicted that global warming from human activity in the twentieth and twenty - first centuries will heat the Earth so much and for so long that it will suppress the next ice age, which is not due to arrive for 50,000 years, and quite possibly several ice ages beyond.

Kent points out that according to the Milankovitch theory, we should be at the peak of a 20,000 - some year warming trend that ended the last glacial period; the Earth may eventually start cooling again over thousands of years, and possibly head for another glaciation.

I can't possibly take seriously any discussion which hinges on this commonly number that the earth is 33C warmer than it would be sans ocean and atmosphere when it appears to be 5C smaller than experimental observations.

«Now we're seeing the same degree of warming happen possibly over a century or two,» says Ross Secord, and assistant professor of Earth and atmospheric sciences at the University of Nebraska - Lincoln.
