Increased warming of the cool skin layer (via increased greenhouse gases) lowers its temperature gradient (that is the temperature difference between the top and bottom of the layer), and this reduces the rate at which heat flows out of the ocean to the atmosphere.

This reduces Δ [Ca2 +] i and reduces contractility, but may be compensated for in vivo by the faster heart rates that accompany warming [13,14].

In contrast to a warm up, the main goal of a cool down is to slowly decrease the body temperature, lower an athlete's heart rate, and reduce against injury.

The reason for warming up is to increase circulation to your muscles (which will help reduce the risk of injury) and gradually increase your heart rate, it also helps mentally prepare yourself for the workout ahead.

The cool down is as important as the warm up period of the workout and when done correctly it helps to remove lactic acid build up from the muscles reducing muscle soreness and restores the heart rate and core temperature back to its normal state.

It is also true that after static passive stretching your coordination is temporarily reduced, your heart rate and respiratory system slows down (The complete opposite of what you want your warm up to achieve) and instead of increasing your readiness for physical exertion this type of flexibility training is more likely to make you feel sleepy which is why it should be used as part of a cool down.

These studies lend greater confidence to the detection of human - induced global warming and they serve to reduce the level of uncertainty inherent in estimates of the rate of warming.»

«It has been claimed that the early - 2000s global warming slowdown or hiatus, characterized by a reduced rate of global surface warming, has been overstated, lacks sound scientific basis, or is unsupported by observations.

Feed - in tariffs on fossil energy imports to the United States would surely end up reducing demand for fossil fuels as more and more renewable capacity became available — which is exactly what you would want to see happen if you are serious about slowing the rate of global warming.

Our results support previous findings of a reduced rate of surface warming over the 2001 — 2014 period — a period in which anthropogenic forcing increased at a relatively constant rate.»

The study was too limited to clarify whether the warming Arctic climate and related summer expansion of open water in the Arctic Ocean is necessitating more long swims — or whether that is reducing the bear's survival rate or reproductive success.

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.

We could reduce short - lived pollutants later, of course, but the inertia from CO2 - induced warming means that those measures can only slow the rate of warming, not reverse it and bring us back below 2 ̊C.

Temperature tends to respond so that, depending on optical properties, LW emission will tend to reduce the vertical differential heating by cooling warmer parts more than cooler parts (for the surface and atmosphere); also (not significant within the atmosphere and ocean in general, but significant at the interface betwen the surface and the air, and also significant (in part due to the small heat fluxes involved, viscosity in the crust and somewhat in the mantle (where there are thick boundary layers with superadiabatic lapse rates) and thermal conductivity of the core) in parts of the Earth's interior) temperature changes will cause conduction / diffusion of heat that partly balances the differential heating.

They suggest drastic measures that would reduce the rate of CO2 emissions to that of 30 years ago as a solution while failing to show their logic flaws such as how if global warming was an issue 30 years ago, then how could us going back to the level of emissions then solve anything?

That warming on descent also reduces the rate of temperature decline with height which suppresses convection from the surface so that the surface on the day side then warms more than it otherwise would have done and the surface on the night side cools less quickly than it otherwise would have done..

For policy - makers, the speed of climate change over the coming decades matters as much as the total long - term change, since this rate of change will determine whether human societies and natural ecosystems will be able to adapt fast enough to survive.New results indicate a warming rate of about 2.5 C per century over the coming decades (assuming no attempt is made to reduce GHG emissions).

Greenhouse gases reduce the rate of cooling and they postulate a direct logarithmic relationship They translate this to increased GGs automatically equals a warmer Earth.

To understand emissions reductions necessary to have a good chance of limiting warming to 2 °C, the climate community has focused largely on emissions pathways — that is, when greenhouse gas emissions peak and the rate at which they must decline (e.g. peak sooner and then reduce less steeply versus peak later and then reduce more steeply).
