Sentences with phrase «probably less warm»

Not exact matches

Scientists first thought this water was melting from surface ice, but that interpretation is less likely for the slopes near the equator, where the surface is probably too warm for ice.

With cold weather fast approaching we'll probably start to spend more time indoors, meaning our pooches may get shorter walks and less tiring exercise than during the warmer months.

Here's something else which you'll probably not bother to read, a real pity, because it explains why your claim that «as water warms it can hold less gas» is not correct as it ignores the partial pressure of (in this case) CO2 in the atmosphere.

During the so - called Holocene Climate Optimum, from approximately 8000 to 5000 years ago, when the temperatures were somewhat warmer than today, there was significantly less sea ice in the Arctic Ocean, probably less than 50 % of the summer 2007 coverage, which is absolutely lowest on record.

Climate models projecting that much less sunlight will be reflected by low clouds when the climate warms indicate that CO2 concentrations can only reach 470 ppm before the 2 ℃ warming threshold of the Paris agreement is crossed — a CO2 concentration that will probably be reached in the 2030s.

Converting from heat content to degrees C, the ocean warming over the last 30 years is less than 0.1 degrees C, which is probably well within the error bars or the Argo float's measurement ability.

I would probably phrase it this way: Global warming will accelerate if the oceans soak up less of the greenhouse gas.

Of course the warming up to 1950 would have a lot less attribution due to co2 warming, so the 0.7 c (due to AGW) estimate is probably far too high.

Modern researchers think that the summers of the first decade of the 14th Century were often dry or very dry & probably often warm as a result; as often happens though, this «fine» mini-era followed a spell in the mid-1290s when summers were less than ideal with possibly one or two chillier such - named seasons.

Except that this is a game played by Western civilization on itself by Westerners — no one else is listening — and, other than people like Al Gore — who could care less about truth — the bad actors of global warming alarmism that are still left are so far to the Left that they will probably be seen more as communists than scientists.

Now a warming atmosphere is probably less obvious aspect of this.

His conclusion was that the CO2 forcing is unquestionably logarithmic, so that each additional molecule we emit has less forcing and warming effect than its predecessors; that the precise value of the coefficient in the CO2 forcing function, which the IPCC has already reduced by 15 %, can not be determined; and that, all things considered, 1 K per doubling was probably in the right ball - park.

Yes, people probably get the point that global warming and climate change mean higher sea levels, melting ice in the Arctic, fewer species, less snow for skiing, and bigger storms and droughts.

This puts me roughly in the same camp as James Annan, though possibly I am less skeptical that there could be benefits for moderate warming, and I am probably more skeptical of claims about the supposedly significant level of damage from the current level of anthopogenically induced climate change.

You know what, even if the Arctic and Antarctic were melting away to nothing to much less, it wouldn't prove anything, other than that we have had some (probably natural) warming and / or cyclical phenomena.

Add in the fact that the thickness of the ice, which is much harder to measure, is estimated to have fallen by half since 1979, when satellite records began, and there is probably less ice floating on the Arctic Ocean now than at any time since a particularly warm period 8,000 years ago, soon after the last ice age.

Eyeball Mark I suggests that deeper waters (OHC to 700 meters) have probably warmed about 1.5 C since 1955, and the surface a bit less — maybe.8 C or so?

Fifth, the governmental actions the CIC proposes would have no measurable effect on global warming, and probably none at all, at a very high cost to taxpayers and ratepayers, particularly less well - to - do ones.

If fact it's probably a better idea to think of La Nina simply being more efficient heat uptake by the ocean, and El Nino being less efficient heat uptake, with a consequence of less or more heat being available to transfer to the atmosphere, than to think of El Nino as warming and La Nina as cooling.

Polar bears are one of the most sensitive Arctic marine mammals to climate warming because they spend most of their lives on sea ice.35 Declining sea ice in northern Alaska is associated with smaller bears, probably because of less successful hunting of seals, which are themselves ice - dependent and so are projected to decline with diminishing ice and snow cover.36, 37,38,39 Although bears can give birth to cubs on sea ice, increasing numbers of female bears now come ashore in Alaska in the summer and fall40 and den on land.41 In Hudson Bay, Canada, the most studied population in the Arctic, sea ice is now absent for three weeks longer than just a few decades ago, resulting in less body fat, reduced survival of both the youngest and oldest bears, 42 and a population now estimated to be in decline43 and projected to be in jeopardy.44 Similar polar bear population declines are projected for the Beaufort Sea region.45

There doesn't seem to be a reservoir of heat accumulating anywhere so if warming resumes it will probably be at the 1990s rate or less.

We have a 161 year record (HadCRUT3), warts and all, that tells us the warming was around 0.7 °C over the entire period, or a linear warming rate of between 0.04 and 0.05 °C per decade, so this is probably more meaningful than the 65 - year «blip» (or the even less meaningful most recent 30 - year «blip», 1976 - 2005, used by IPCC to demonstrate AGW).

That's probably why we hear much less talk about «global warming» and much more talk about «climate change.»

The winds are probably less efficient in that regard than the ocean currents are so we might well see a situation where during a glacial, we have a situation where the equatorial region actually gets warmer than during an interglacial.

If the recent internal cooling was substantial, this assumption is almost certainly incorrect since energy budget considerations limit the earlier internal warming contribution to no more than 0.1 C and probably less.

However, since the shell is at a higher temp than background, though probably not by a lot, (background ~ 3 DegK, which is effectively = 0 for this problem), less heat would be transferred to the shell, and the earth would consequently retain more of it and so it would warm slightly.

But there's no way to interpret it, or the IPCC statements as «it's just as likely than 50 % + of the warming was caused by natural process» — according to the pdf, there's probably a less than 1 % chance that that level of attribution is correct.

So if we could worry less about atmospheric warming, we should probably need to worry more about sea level rise.

So, probably the best thing to do when planning for the future is to be aware of the more or less capricious nature of our nation's climate and keep in mind that humans are supplying an ever - growing warming pressure on top of that.

You would probably agree that solar activity was less in 2005, yet 2005 was # 1 warmest in history.

Hansen and Sato (7) argue that the climate of the most recent few decades is probably warmer than prior Holocene levels, based on the fact that the major ice sheets in both hemispheres are presently losing mass rapidly (9) and global sea level is rising at a rate of more than 3 m / millennium (25), which is much greater than the slow rate of sea level change (less than 1 m / millennium) in the latter half of the Holocene (26).

The multi-decadal ocean oscillations, such as the AMO and PDO, change temperatures by less but over longer periods, so their pools of warm water are probably deeper, and consequently are released over a longer period.

Presumably, much of this water will fall as rain somewhere, so it would probably be more logical to guess that warming would cause more rain rather than less.

The reasons for the lockstep peaks are probably complex, but in general scientists say that colder air holds less moisture than warmer air, and that cold periods tend to be windier; this means both dustier land, and more dust getting blown away.

LONDON, 28 April — The odds that global warming of almost 1 °C since 1880 is just a natural fluctuation are very low: less than one in a hundred and probably less than one in a thousand, according to a study in the journal Climate Dynamics.
