Not exact matches

Reducing demand for meat, even by a relatively small amount, would have a significant impact on greenhouse gas emissions.

This share may seem relatively small — for perspective, electricity generation and home heating account for more than 40 percent — but aviation is one of the world's fastest - growing greenhouse gas sources.

Beyond Kerosene The amount of emissions from aircraft compared with other vehicles is relatively small — roughly 3 percent of total worldwide greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuel burning, according to the U.N. Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)-- nonetheless it has a major impact on the climate.

Although there have been a few demonstrations that it is possible to store relatively small amounts of CO2 deep below the ground — largely to push more oil and natural gas to the surface — there is no commercial - scale power plant that both captures and stores greenhouse gases, Moniz adds.

It grows quickly and can tolerate cramped quarters in big greenhouse experiments, and its genome is relatively small and structurally simple, so it can be sequenced for relatively little expense.

Note that while results from fingerprint detection approaches will be affected by uncertainty in separation between greenhouse gas and aerosol forcing, the resulting uncertainty in estimates of the near - surface temperature response to greenhouse gas forcing is relatively small (Sections 9.2.3 and 9.4.1.4).

In 1997, there was no organized nursery program, restoration work was relatively small - scale, and greenhouses were made of pipes and plastic sheets.

As far as the greenhouse effect is concerned, as I'm sure you are aware, the effect of CO2 per se is relatively small.

Keep in mind that the overwhelming majority of greenhouse gases have been, and continue to be, emitted by the massive fossil fuel consumption of a tiny percentage of the Earth's human population, most of them in countries with low rates of population growth — and that the overwhelming majority of human beings on the Earth, particularly those in countries with relatively high rates of population growth, generate only a small amount of greenhouse gases.

If proved correct, this theory would suggest that relatively small, naturally occurring fluctuations in greenhouse gases are the master variable that has driven global climate change on time scales of ten thousand to one million years.

However, taking account of sampling uncertainty (as most more recent detection and attribution studies do, including those shown in Figure 9.9) makes relatively little difference to estimates of attributable warming rates, particularly those due to greenhouse gases; the largest differences occur in estimates of upper bounds for small signals, such as the response to solar forcing (Allen and Stott, 2003; Stott et al., 2003a).

However, as discussed above, Gillett et al. also attribute a relatively small amount of warming (~ 0.6 °C) to that greenhouse gas increase.

With its heavy use of coal - fired power and relatively small population, Australia is considered one of the world's worst per capita greenhouse gas polluters.

To clarify my statement above, most «AGW skeptics» don't doubt CO2 greenhouse warming, we just insist that it is a relatively small factor.

That leaves the possibility that either the Earth's atmosphere has an incredibly high positive feedback — sufficient to amplify a relatively small natural variability in TSI enough to cause the sea level to rise in this way — or that greenhouse gases are trapping heat.

Where in a limited period relatively precise data it is impossible to tell where small greenhouse gas takes over from large natural variability.

Greenhouse gases warm the atmosphere in very small increments relatively — this reduces the heat loss from oceans that are routinely warmer than the new higher equilibrium temperature.

A free - standing VAWT of helical design could run above a large circular tarmac and greenhouse, the greenhouse simply having a circular opening below the VAWT; the greenhouse being like a large donut with a relatively small central hole.The greenhouse shutter system would probably remain.

Wayne, Robert Stevenson and others have made the point that, given current concentrations of CO2 and H2O and other so - called «greenhouse gases», the first - generation photons from the Surface up into the Atmosphere are absorbed to extinction in 120 meters or some other relatively small distance compared to the total height of the Atmosphere.

The macroeconomic impacts of reducing greenhouse gas emissions are small, even with our relatively aggressive policy scenarios.

Even relatively small amounts of the gas can warm the Earth by the greenhouse effect, perhaps affecting the climate.

While the impact of one storm like Katrina might be relatively small compared with other sources of greenhouse emissions, such as burning fossil fuels, this effect could add up as the number of storms each year increases, says Chambers.
