Sentences with phrase «rapid warming supports»

Emerging evidence for variability in the coral calcification response to acidification, geographical variation in bleaching susceptibility and recovery, responses to past climate change, and potential rates of adaptation to rapid warming supports an alternative scenario in which reef degradation occurs with greater temporal and spatial heterogeneity than current projections suggest.

The purpose of the conference is to generate international media attention to the fact that many scientists believe forecasts of rapid warming and catastrophic events are not supported by sound science, and that expensive campaigns to reduce greenhouse gas emissions are not necessary or cost - effective.

Several new studies support this human - caused boost of a natural pattern, though controversy still exists regarding the mechanisms linking rapid Arctic warming with weather patterns farther south in the mid-latitudes.

The aerosol emissions / concentrations graphs provide some support for the process, but there is no way that they account for the massive transition from rapid warming in the period 1910 — 1940 to cooling which occurs abruptly and equally in the northern and southern hemispheres between 1940 and 1947.

Evidence for a wavier jet stream in response to rapid Arctic warming New metrics and evidence are presented that support a linkage between rapid Arctic warming, relative to Northern hemisphere mid-latitudes, and more frequent high - amplitude (wavy) jet - stream configurations that favor persistent weather patterns.

I actually think the evidence of the more rapid cooling and warming of land comes from the period before 1940 and actually breaks down in the 1940 - 45 period (ocean warming without land warming) which supports your contention that the war period data is anomalous.

There is growing scientific support for one of the most provocative and counterintuitive ideas in climate change research, which holds that rapid Arctic warming may be causing colder winters across large swaths of the Northern Hemisphere.

Scientists around the world have now amassed a virtually unassailable body of evidence to support the conclusion that a rapid warming of our planet - caused principally by greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel burning - is under way.»

The conference invitation identified its goal as «to generate international media attention to the fact that many scientists believe forecasts of rapid warming and catastrophic events are not supported by sound science.»

Most of the other skeptics keep quiet about the clouds reducing during the rapid warming from 1970 - 2000, because that is exactly opposite to their hopes of a negative cloud feedback, and supports the positive feedback idea more.

Jim D: Most of the other skeptics keep quiet about the clouds reducing during the rapid warming from 1970 - 2000, because that is exactly opposite to their hopes of a negative cloud feedback, and supports the positive feedback idea more.

Geological evidence, mainly coral reefs on tectonically stable coasts, was described in the review of Overpeck et al. [51] as favouring an Eemian maximum of +4 to more than 6 m. Rohling et al. [52] cite many studies concluding that the mean sea level was 4 — 6 m above the current sea level during the warmest portion of the Eemian, 123 — 119 kyr BP; note that several of these studies suggest Eemian sea - level fluctuations up to +10 m, and provide the first continuous sea - level data supporting rapid Eemian sea - level fluctuations.

Would you care to offer some evidence to support the assertion that aerosols were reduced dramatically in the mid-seventies, in order to explain the rapid and sustained return to warming?

If you exclude a rapid rise of sea level (which there is ZERO reliable data to support the concept of) why is a warmer world something to fear?

There must have been brief periods of very rapid temperature change mixed in there (certainly on the regional level) in addition to slower - warming periods, and I'm under the impression other data (such as Greenland ice cores and deep - sea cores) support that scenario as well.

Less generous was the 2008 offer from the Heartland Institute of $ 1000 plus an all - expenses - paid trip to New York to any scientist willing to help «generate international media attention to the fact that many scientists believe forecasts of rapid warming and catastrophic events are not supported by sound science, and that expensive campaigns to reduce greenhouse gas emissions are not necessary or cost - effective.»

[Carl: Just FYI, the article does not support George Will: «It is possible that a fraction of the most recent rapid warming since the 1970s was due to a free variation in climate,» Isaac Held of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in Princeton, New Jersey wrote in an email to Discovery News.
