Sentences with phrase «runaway greenhouse effect on»

There is NO observable, runaway greenhouse effect on Venus at 1 bar,... ONLY a factor of temperature increase related to the ratio of solar distances.

Nevertheless, it is clear that if there is a runaway greenhouse effect on Mars, then Mars is very cold as a result.

The planet, however, also has a runaway greenhouse effect on its surface.

Is it credible that we could have a runaway greenhouse effect on Earth?

Not exact matches

If the planet is only one Earth mass, Jenkins says, any life there might be near its end; the world would be on the verge of a runaway greenhouse effect, with gravity too weak to prevent its life - giving water from boiling off into space due to rising surface temperatures.

It may seem surprising to people, but you can look at something like Mars, which has a very thin atmosphere, and you can look at something like Venus which we tend to think of as sort of having this rather heavy, clouded atmosphere, which [is] hellishly warm because of runaway greenhouse effect, and on both of those planets you are seeing this phenomenon of the atmosphere leaking away, is actually what directly has led to those very different outcomes for those planets; the specifics of what happened as the atmosphere started to go in each case [made] all the difference.

For example, he has said in recent years that vast carbon dioxide emissions might ultimately cause a runaway greenhouse effect like on Venus that would boil the oceans and make Earth uninhabitable, the Times reported.

The point at which a planet's atmosphere would experience runaway greenhouse - gas effects like those seen on Venus — a point located just inside Earth's orbit in our solar system — forms the outer boundary.

Eberle and Kim said the early - middle Eocene greenhouse period from 53 to 38 million years ago is used as a deep - time analog by climate scientists for what could happen on Earth if CO2 and other greenhouse gases in Earth's atmosphere continue to rise, and what a «runaway» greenhouse effect potentially could look like.

With no water left on the surface, carbon dioxide built up in the atmosphere, leading to a so - called runaway greenhouse effect that created present conditions.

On a related note, is a «runaway greenhouse» effect impossible, given the current data and understanding about global warming?

«If this runaway greenhouse effect could happen on Venus,» Ingersoll asks, «could it happen on Earth too?»

On Venus, solar wind evaporated the oceans, broke up water vapor and stripped away hydrogen, leaving behind CO2 which caused a runaway greenhouse effect.

Four and a half billion years after its birth, the shrouded planet is much too hot to support the presence of liquid water on its surface because of its dense carbon dioxide atmosphere and sulfuric acid clouds, which retain too much radiative heat from the Sun through a runaway greenhouse effect.

Kasting had one very primitive go at a radiative - convective study of the effect of clouds on runaway greenhouse, which suggested that clouds might prevent the whole ocean from going aloft.

About 1980ish, some old ideas like the greenhouse effect were brought out of mothballs and re-examined with new tools and techniques; simultaneously several researchers and theoreticians released their notes, published, or otherwise got together and there was a surprising consilience and not a small amount of mixing with old school hippy ecologism on some of the topics that became the roots of Climate Change science (before it was called Global Warming); innovations in mathematics were also applied to climate thought; supercomputers (though «disappointing» on weather forecasting) allowed demonstration of plausibility of runaway climate effects, comparison of scales of effects, and the possibility of climate models combined with a good understanding of the limits of predictive power of weather models.

No runaway greenhouse effect like on Venus otherwise we wouldn't be around, would we.

The planet Venus has a runaway CO2 greenhouse gas effect so intense that lead melts on its surface.

If the typical explanation that rising then creates a feedback loop that increases temperatures, and so on, why doesn't this cause a runaway greenhouse effect?

Heck, on this very website, I have noted before that I myself am quite skeptical of Jim Hansen's recent claims that if we really go to town burning fossil fuels then we could / likely would trigger a true Venus - like runaway greenhouse effect.

Joel Shore says, «Heck, on this very website, I have noted before that I myself am quite skeptical of Jim Hansen's recent claims that if we really go to town burning fossil fuels then we could / likely would trigger a true Venus - like runaway greenhouse effect.

They modeled how quickly a planet lost its water based on either a runaway greenhouse effect (Venus) or runaway glaciation (Mars).
