Sentences with phrase «reduce short term warming»

It is argued that the advantage of such a change would be to more rapidly reduce short term warming and buy time for CO2 reductions.

Ministers from Canada, Russia and US join call to tackle black carbon and methane emissions to reduce short term warming

Not exact matches

Dr Meleady, a lecturer in psychology, added: «If similar interventions were to be implemented in comparable situations in other cities and countries, the potential contribution to reducing air pollution, improving short and long term health, and reducing effects of global warming could be substantial.»

«While we can't stop the huge impact of global warming on coral health in the short term, this new work should drive policy toward reducing plastic pollution.»

Large variability reduces the number of new records — which is why the satellite series of global mean temperature have fewer expected records than the surface data, despite showing practically the same global warming trend: they have more short - term variability.

The paper appears to conclude that if we wait 20 years to begin reducing GHG emissions, assuming a modest amount of mitigation in the short term, we will have to reduce emissions at a 3 to 7 times greater rate than if we start now in order to keep warming to a 3 degree C increase around 2100.

Reducing emissions of the short - lived climate forcers black carbon and tropospheric ozone — soot and smog — has been identified by scientists as the most effective strategy to slow Arctic warming and melting in the near term, forestalling potentially irreversible tipping points such as the melting, while the world works to reduce emissions of GHGs.

There is growing recognition of the value of near - term actions to reduce short - lived climate pollutants (SLCPs) such as methane, black carbon, and various hydrofluorocarbons that have large global warming potentials.

Changing over to low - soot stoves can be a short - term solution to reduce global warming till other measures kick in.

Based on his research, he developed a new approach for mitigating climate change that involves mitigating emissions of four short - lived climate pollutants (SLCPs) to drastically reduce near - term warming and slowing down the retreat of the Himalayan glaciers.

If we regress the annual rate of CO2 change against temperature, we are likely to see a significant short term temperature effect as warming reduces the solubility of CO2 in the surface ocean layers (with effects on terrestrial sinks as well).

Reducing soot would do a lot in the short term to help slow warming.

Because of its short atmospheric lifetime, the scientists suggested that reducing soot could provide a quick, effective way to slow global warming in the short - term.

«When the data are adjusted to remove the estimated impact of known factors on short - term temperature variations (El Nino / southern oscillation, volcanic aerosols and solar variability), the global warming signal becomes even more evident as noise is reduced.»

Other surprises include the recognition that reducing methane emissions from whatever source has important indirect impacts on a range of other drivers and is a more effective strategy for short - term reductions in global warming than had been previously recognized.
