Sentences with phrase «significant driver of temperature»

Now then if CO2 is a significant driver of temperature one would expect to see a significantly different rate in the rate of warming as soon as CO2 becomes a driver.

Not exact matches

Researcher Xin Qi, from QUT's Institute of Health and Biomedical Innovation, studied the socioenvironmental drivers of suicide rates in Australia over 20 years and found variations in temperatures coupled with spikes in unemployment were significant risk factors for suicide.

One driver of temperatures in this region is the abundance and variability of ozone, but water vapor, volcanic aerosols, and dynamical changes such as the Quasi - Biennial Oscillation (QBO) are also significant; anthropogenic increases in other greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide play a lesser but significant role in the lower stratosphere.

Carbon dioxide can cause temperatures to rise without being the primary driver, or even a significant driver, of climate change.

This would be true if the only thing changing was the precipitation rate, but this is obviously not the case because the driver of all these precipitation changes is the expected significant increase in air temperature.

As I see it, the prediction is, that if anthropogenic CO2 is a significant driver of global warming in recent times, and has continued to increase, then temperatures should have continued to increase in the last decade or so.

It would appear rather odd that Bhaskar et al. (2017) would wish to claim, for example, that methane gas has been a significant driver of warming, but at the same time reject water vapour and cloud cover changes as factors affecting global temperatures.

«Accompanied by significant peaks at 60.2 and 73 years, the continuously periodicities around 49 — 114 years in our regional temperature reconstruction might tentatively be related to PDO, Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation... as well as solar activity... The AMO was an important driver of multidecadal variations in summer climate not only in North America and western Europebut also in the East Asia... The 60.2 - year peak associated with AMO demonstrated that multidecadal variations in late summer temperature in the NWSP NWSP [northwestern Sichuan Plateau, China] might be controlled by AMO.»

If we take an epicyclic periodic leap of faith an assume the hypothesis that this 1470 year cycle is a significant driver of present day warming, and align it with the Medieval warm period, we get temperatures rising from ~ 800 BC to a warm peak at ~ 468 BC — a little early for the Roman warm period.

Global data on anthropogenic aerosols is poor to non-existent, but I would content that reductions in aerosols were a significant driver of low level cloud decreases over the 1975 to 2000 period, and hence atmospheric temperatures.
