Sentences with phrase «previous warming cycle»
The ice at the GISP2 site in central Greenland was only one ice age thick before they hit rock, (as opposed to Antarctica where the ice is more than 6 cycles 700,000 years thick) indicating that ALL the Central Greenland ice melted during the previous warming cycle (125,000 years ago).

Previous research indicates that amplification of the water cycle, is happening at 7 per cent per 1 °C of global warming.
My co-authors and I have argued in previous papers that climate cycles on early Mars could have been driven by oscillations in the carbonate - silicate cycle, which would have provided transient warming from the accumulation of greenhouse gases by volcanoes and subsequent loss by weathering.
Ice ages have occurred in a hundred thousand year cycle for the last 700 thousand years, and there have been previous periods that appear to have been warmer than the present despite CO2 levels being lower than they are now.
Glaciers retreating in western Canada have revealed evidence of previous forests, showing that warming and cooling cycles do indeed occur, even without SUVs.
We know there have been previous ice ages and subsequent warming cycles; we know when they were, and how much time elapsed between them.
In a reconstruction of Pacific Ocean temperatures in the last 10,000 years, researchers have found that its middle depths have warmed 15 times faster in the last 60 years than they did during apparent natural warming cycles in the previous 10,000.
We are looking at the end of this interglacial period based firmly upon historical cycles and norms without any acceleration when compared to previous cycles, as that happens, more warm would be seen as a blessing.
This means that in previous post ice age warming cycles, the Arctic ice at the GISP2 site in central Greenland DID actually ALL melt.
(1) The Earth has largely benefited by past warming cycle's and that these previous «warmings» had nothing to do with man's activities.
For instance, perfect initialization of the state of the Atlantic ocean, a correct simulation of the next 10 years of the solar cycle, a proper inclusion of stratospheric water vapor, etc may be important for whether the next 5 years are warmer than the previous 5, but it has nothing to do with climate sensitivity, water vapor feedback, or other issues.
Ice ages have occurred in a hundred thousand year cycle for the last 700 thousand years, and there have been previous periods that appear to have been warmer than the present despite CO2 levels being lower than they are now.
According to Prof Curry and others, the previous warm Pacific cycle and other natural factors, such as a high solar output, accounted for some of the warming seen before 1997 — some say at least half of it.
Other experts point out one of the biggest natural factors behind the plateau is the fact that in 2008 the temperature cycle in the Pacific flipped from «warm mode», in which it had been locked for the previous 40 years, to «cold mode», meaning surface water temperatures fell.
THAT might be the reason for today's climbing CO2 levels — just a echo of previous warm climate cycling through the oceans.
He also wants them to go over the history of climate change research, focusing on ice ages and previous cooling and warming cycles, among other topics.
Ice ages have occurred in a 100,000 - year cycle for the last 700,000 years, and there have been previous interglacials that appear to have been warmer than the present despite lower carbon - dioxide levels.
Ice ages have occurred in a hundred thousand year cycle for the last 700 thousand years, and there have been previous periods that appear to have been warmer than the present despite CO2 [continue reading...]
The previous and present models do project the possibility of a hiatus in warming, most commonly because increased wind shear over tropical oceans can transfer more energy into the oceans especialy during the La Nina phase of the ENSO cycle.
I wrote to the BBC at the time pointing out that the audience was likely to have been severely misled by this question, that the warming over the previous 16 years reached a conventional threshold of statistical significance (p < 0.05), and that over a short timescale natural causes of variability (ENSO, volcanoes, the solar cycle) tend to predominate, so the short answer is «15 years is too small a sample to demonstrate statistical significance.»
In previous postings here at WUWT I have estimated the human contribution to net warming since 1880 at 0.2 ºC, the natural cycles and processes contribution over which we humans have no control at 0.3 ºC to 0.4 ºC, with the remainder of the supposed warming of 0.8 ºC due to data bias and cooking of the books by the official climate Team.
Such a release could potentially create enough additional warming to make the 4 degree world unstable, just as the carbon cycle feedbacks discussed in the previous section might render the 3 degree world unstable.
Criteria Description Fish Toxicity Measure of the acute toxicity to fish (both saltwater and freshwater) Daphnia Toxicity Measure of the acute toxicity to Daphnia (invertebrate aquatic organisms) Algae Toxicity Measure of the acute toxicity to aquatic plants Persistence / Biodegradation Rate of degradation for a substance in the environment (air, soil, or water) Bioaccumulation Potential for a substance to accumulate in fatty tissue and magnify up the food chain Climatic relevance Measure of the impact a substance has on the climate (e.g., ozone depletion, global warming, etc.) Other Any additional characteristic (e.g., soil organism toxicity, WGK water classification, etc.) relevant to the overall evaluation but not included in the previous criteria 1.3.3 Material Class Criteria The following material classes are flagged due to the concern that at some point in their life cycle they may have negative impacts on human and environmental health.
Anthropogenic warming has interrupted the Glacial - Interglacial cycle of the Quaternary (Ganopolski et al., 2016; Haqq - Misra, 2014) and there will be no coming Ice - Age n - 1000 years from now to reseal all of this volatile Carbon, as happened at the end of each previous interglacial.
The fact of previous climate change due to «natural cycles» is probably the strongest evidence we have that adding the same amount of heat will warm future climate about as much as the warming following the last Ice Age.
«Class C» were those nearing the 4 - to 5 - year home - cycle, plus warm leads from the previous year — all potential business for the coming year who may not know it yet.
