Sentences with phrase «see changes in the climate system»

If you are looking to see changes in the climate system, then look at climate data, not loss data (climate data can however be used to test the fidelity of loss normalization methodologies)

Not exact matches

Not only do the vagaries of weather patterns and ocean currents make it hard to see climate changes, but the variability in what are often termed the Earth System components complicates the picture enormously.

A separate, unpublished and preliminary economic analysis carried out by the team estimates that implementing large - scale cryogenic systems into coal - fired plants would see an overall reduction in costs to society of 38 percent through a sharp cut in associated health - care and climate - change costs.

The consequences of climate change are being felt not only in the environment, but in the entire socio - economic system and, as seen in the findings of numerous reports already available, they will impact first and foremost the poorest and weakest who, even if they are among the least responsible for global warming, are the most vulnerable because they have limited resources or live in areas at greater risk... Many of the most vulnerable societies, already facing energy problems, rely upon agriculture, the very sector most likely to suffer from climatic shifts.»

[ANDY REVKIN comments: The Antarctic has seen no change in the extent of floating sea ice in recent years, in stark contrast to the situation in the Arctic, and all of this shows the Earth's climate system, particularly at the poles, is not simple — and thus not likely to follow a simple trajectory under a greenhouse push from humans.

SM, what I am saying is that if you had negative sensitivity, that would imply strong negative feedback, and you wouldn't see much change in the climate system — in contrast to the climate we see on Earth.

IF I understand the slow thermal inertia of the climate system correctly, the California fires, this hurricane season, and other extreme weather we have seen in the past few years, all those things that have been exacerbated by climate change are the result of GHG put into the air 30 - 50 years ago.

We have only begun to see the change in temperature and climate caused by the amount of CO2 that we have already added to the atmosphere (+38 %), and it will continue to change until the ocean - atmosphere climate system fully responds to that addition.

Conscious that while our nations lie at the climate frontline and will disproportionately feel the impacts of global warming, in the end climate change will threaten the sustainable development and, ultimately, the survival of all states and peoples — the fate of the most vulnerable will be the fate of the world; and convinced that our acute vulnerability not only allows us to perceive the threat of climate change more clearly than others, but also provides us with the clarity of vision to understand the steps that must be taken to protect the Earth's climate system and the determination to see the job done;

However, in terms of the fast - feedback Charney analysis, changes in CO2 is treated simply as a forcing being applied from to system from «outside» of the climate system, and as a forcing it is not viewed as feedback — at least according to Hansen (2007)-- see above.

It's the long - term range (30 - plus year cycles) that scientists look at to determine real changes in the climate system, and the changes scientists see are unmistakable.

The «warming» of the troposphere as measured by sensible heat is only one very small part of the energy in the overall climate system, and the part with the very lowest thermal inertia and very sensitive to very small changes in ocean to atmosphere sensible and latent heat flux such as we see in the ENSO cycle.

Any reader — even without technical or information - systems background — is invited to click on the link in my post above and see immediately with his or her own eyes that HARRY READ ME is a three - year diary involving a very wide range of activities, transactions and programs involving more than a dozen countries and encompassing collection and processing of major portions of the raw temperature data which underlie more than two of the principal databases used by «climate change scientists».

And through conversations with others in the growing climate justice movement, I began to see all kinds of ways that climate change could become a catalyzing force for positive change — how it could be the best argument progressives have ever had to demand the rebuilding and reviving of local economies; to reclaim our democracies from corrosive corporate influence; to block harmful new free trade deals and rewrite old ones; to invest in starving public infrastructure like mass transit and affordable housing; to take back ownership of essential services like energy and water; to remake our sick agricultural system into something much healthier; to open borders to migrants whose displacement is linked to climate impacts; to finally respect Indigenous land rights — all of which would help to end grotesque levels of inequality within our nations and between them.

Through the Keeling Curve system under the Scripps CO2 program, the Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii saw Earth surpassing another climate change threshold.

«A dynamical system such as the climate system, governed by nonlinear deterministic equations (see Nonlinearity), may exhibit erratic or chaotic behaviour in the sense that very small changes in the initial state of the system in time lead to large and apparently unpredictable changes in its temporal evolution.

So to help set the record straight, we're going to focus on 10 major changes scientists have seen in our climate system.

So, for now, we have seen the Executive Summary, the Introduction, and the Concluding Remarks of Chapter 7: Couplings Between Changes in the Climate System and Biogeochemistry.

The advantage of recognising a reversed sign for the solar effect high up in the atmosphere is that it enables a scenario whereby the bottom up effects of ocean cycles and the top down effects of solar variability can be seen to be engaged in a complex ever changing dance with the primary climate response being changes in the tropospheric air circulation systems to give us the observed natural climate variability via cyclical latitudinal shifts in all the air circulation systems and notably the jet streams.

This time period is too short to signify a change in the warming trend, as climate trends are measured over periods of decades, not years.12, 29,30,31,32 Such decade - long slowdowns or even reversals in trend have occurred before in the global instrumental record (for example, 1900 - 1910 and 1940 - 1950; see Figure 2.2), including three decade - long periods since 1970, each followed by a sharp temperature rise.33 Nonetheless, satellite and ocean observations indicate that the Earth - atmosphere climate system has continued to gain heat energy.34

Since to me (and many scientists, although some wanted a lot more corroborative evidence, which they've also gotten) it makes absolutely no sense to presume that the earth would just go about its merry way and keep the climate nice and relatively stable for us (though this rare actual climate scientist pseudo skeptic seems to think it would, based upon some non scientific belief — see second half of this piece), when the earth changes climate easily as it is, climate is ultimately an expression of energy, it is stabilized (right now) by the oceans and ice sheets, and increasing the number of long term thermal radiation / heat energy absorbing and re radiating molecules to levels not seen on earth in several million years would add an enormous influx of energy to the lower atmosphere earth system, which would mildly warm the air and increasingly transfer energy to the earth over time, which in turn would start to alter those stabilizing systems (and which, with increasing ocean energy retention and accelerating polar ice sheet melting at both ends of the globe, is exactly what we've been seeing) and start to reinforce the same process until a new stases would be reached well after the atmospheric levels of ghg has stabilized.

From my experience watching the climate science issue advance over the years, what I continually see is people, like yourself who have clear expertise in a specific area, believing that they understand the entire breadth of the climate change issue when, in actuality, they understand very little of the other broader elements of the global climate system that come into play.

Counters: «Once the model finishes producing the data representing how radiative forcing has changed over time, we can then go back and analyze that data to see how the climate system in terms of temperature and other factors will change based on empirical relationships between atmospheric factors and changes in temperature.»

Once the model finishes producing the data representing how radiative forcing has changed over time, we can then go back and analyze that data to see how the climate system in terms of temperature and other factors will change based on empirical relationships between atmospheric factors and changes in temperature.

This talk will draw upon results from ice core research over the past twenty years, as well as a new NRC report on abrupt climate change in order to address abrupt change, as seen in the past in ice cores, as seen today in key environmental systems upon which humans depend, and what may be coming in the future.

Translating the above to climate science, if you tell me that in 100 years earth inhabited by your children is going to hell in a handbasket, because our most complicated models built with all those horrendously complicated equestions you can find in math, show that the global temperatures will be 10 deg higher and icecaps will melt, sea will invade land, plant / animal ecosystem will get whacked out of order causing food supply to be badly disrupted, then I, without much climate science expertise, can easily ask you the following questions and scrutinize the results: a) where can I see that your model's futuristic predictions about global temp, icecaps, eco system changes in the past have come true, even for much shorter periods of time, like say 20 years, before I take this for granted and make radical changes in my life?

«TCR was originally defined as the warming at the time of CO2 doubling (i.e., after 70 years) in a 1 % yr — 1 increasing CO2 experiment (see Hegerl et al., 2007b), but like ECS, it can also be thought of as a generic property of the climate system that determines the global temperature response ΔT to any gradual increase in RF, ΔF, taking place over an approximately 70 - year time scale, normalized by the ratio of the forcing change to the forcing due to doubling CO2, F2 × CO2: TCR = F2 × CO2 ΔT / ΔF»

The identification of potential key vulnerabilities is intended to provide guidance to decision - makers for identifying levels and rates of climate change that may be associated with «dangerous anthropogenic interference» (DAI) with the climate system, in the terminology of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Article 2 (see Boxclimate change that may be associated with «dangerous anthropogenic interference» (DAI) with the climate system, in the terminology of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Article 2 (see Box change that may be associated with «dangerous anthropogenic interference» (DAI) with the climate system, in the terminology of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Article 2 (see Boxclimate system, in the terminology of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) Article 2 (see BoxClimate Change (UNFCCC) Article 2 (see Box Change (UNFCCC) Article 2 (see Box 19.1).

As we have seen in part I and II of the series, low frequency - high amplitude climate change does not take place in a chaotic manner, but mainly through cycles, quasicycles, and oscillations that respond to periodic changes in the forcings that act over the climate system.

Based on the understanding of both the physical processes that control key climate feedbacks (see Section 8.6.3), and also the origin of inter-model differences in the simulation of feedbacks (see Section 8.6.2), the following climate characteristics appear to be particularly important: (i) for the water vapour and lapse rate feedbacks, the response of upper - tropospheric RH and lapse rate to interannual or decadal changes in climate; (ii) for cloud feedbacks, the response of boundary - layer clouds and anvil clouds to a change in surface or atmospheric conditions and the change in cloud radiative properties associated with a change in extratropical synoptic weather systems; (iii) for snow albedo feedbacks, the relationship between surface air temperature and snow melt over northern land areas during spring and (iv) for sea ice feedbacks, the simulation of sea ice thickness.

Hansen began his career studying Venus, which was once a very Earth - like planet with plenty of life - supporting water before runaway climate change rapidly transformed it into an arid and uninhabitable sphere enveloped in an unbreathable gas; he switched to studying our planet by 30, wondering why he should be squinting across the solar system to explore rapid environmental change when he could see it all around him on the planet he was standing on.

If one says any length of time that rules out the prospect of seeing the change in our lifetimes then that person is saying that Natural Variability [otherwise known as our current state of knowledge of the climate system] is a lot stronger [more unknown] than any of the known and supposed forcings and feedbacks currently postulated.

In conclusion, a solar and heliospheric modulation of the cloud system would greatly contribute to climate change through an albedo modulation (see Eq.

So we can see that despite this huge step change in the climate system inputs the output settled back to the same equilibrium point.

We define abrupt climate change as a large - scale change in the climate system that takes place over a few decades or less, persists (or is anticipated to persist) for at least a few decades, and causes substantial disruptions in human and natural systems (see Glossary).

«Over the years we have seen clearly the value of careful and consistent monitoring of our climate, which allows us to document real changes occurring in the Earth's climate system,» says Keith Seitter, executive director of the American Meteorological Society.

Seems to me David's mistake is not noticing that the rapid events are internal to the climate system, not external; they may cause fast changes in albedo for example for a while; and they are modeled, see Dr. Bitz's work on Arctic sea ice, or any model including volcanos or Atlantic deep water currents etc..

With respect to the term «climate change», I (and others) have urged a broadening of the subject of «climate change» to be much more than annual - global average trends in the heat of the climate system; e.g. see

What really interests me, however, is the growing evidence that we may see radical change in our energy and transportation systems despite, not because of, such international climate deals.

«Even without a strong El Niño in 2017, we are seeing other remarkable changes across the planet that are challenging the limits of our understanding of the climate system,» said WMO director David Carlson.

Prof Camille Parmesan, expert in the impacts of climate change on natural systems at the University of Plymouth, tells Carbon Brief that even with 0.8 C of warming since pre-industrial times we are already starting to see a decline in biodiversity.
