Sentences with phrase «sheets in about a decade»

I know this isn't the first time I've featured a link to DIY wool dryer balls, but I'm a HUGE fan of wool dryer balls - I haven't used dryer sheets in about a decade, and wool dryer balls are amazing — not only are you using up scrapes of yarn, but they speed up the drying time of your clothes and get out wrinkles.

Not exact matches

A new study by scientists at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena, California, and the University of California, Irvine, shows that while ice sheets and glaciers continue to melt, changes in weather and climate over the past decade have caused Earth's continents to soak up and store an extra 3.2 trillion tons of water in soils, lakes and underground aquifers, temporarily slowing the rate of sea level rise by about 20 percent.

Aqua America's balance sheet has been about 70 % debt over the last decade, with very little change in its leverage level.

«David Hammons: Five Decades» will present about 40 pieces - many on loan, a few for sale - ranging from the body prints of the»70s to mysterious new works in which the artist has covered mirrors with shrouds or sheets of metal.

Has realclimate ever done (or considered doing) an entry about the immense contribution that satellite measurements have made in the past two - three decades, in helping us to understand various components of the earth system (e.g., vegetation, ozone, ice sheet mass, water vapor content, temperature, sea level height, storms, aerosols, etc.)?

In the couple of decades leading up to the most recent IPCC report, the ice sheets were losing slightly less than 0.001 % of their mass per year, a rate that would require more than 100,000 years to remove all of the ice, and the equivalent of me going on a diet for a year and losing about 1/3 of one potato chip.

The melt - off from the world's ice sheets, ice caps and glaciers over eight years of the past decade would have been enough to cover the United States in about 18 inches (46 centimeters) of water, according to new research based on the most - comprehensive analysis of satellite data yet.

Loss of glacial volume in Alaska and neighboring British Columbia, Canada, currently contributes 20 % to 30 % as much surplus freshwater to the oceans as does the Greenland Ice Sheet — about 40 to 70 gigatons per year, 66,78,63,57,64,58 comparable to 10 % of the annual discharge of the Mississippi River.79 Glaciers continue to respond to climate warming for years to decades after warming ceases, so ice loss is expected to continue, even if air temperatures were to remain at current levels.

The current forecast from climate scientists is that both the Greenland and Antarctica ice sheets will melt 10 times faster than what they have been in recent decades, and this will lead to 10 feet (~ 3 meters) of sea level rise by about 2065.

Hallegatte [8] notes that these sources of uncertainty will not go away in the foreseeable future: social uncertainties will play out over decades, and recent experiences of improving scientific understanding have often led to more uncertainty about the future rather than less [10], as the implications of unappreciated processes such as ice - sheet dynamics become clearer.
