significant impact on
human health.

significant difference in bacterial degradation of organic matter from cleared or forested watersheds, Canuel says it did show that «organic
carbon in runoff from watersheds affected by
human activity is less susceptible to solar degradation than that from forested watersheds.»

human contribution is not
significant and that observed increases in
carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases make only a negligible contribution to climate warming,» Douglas wrote.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (the world authority on climate change) has established two simple facts:
carbon dioxide traps energy,
humans create
significant increases on
carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

human contribution is not
significant and that observed increases in
carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases make only a negligible contribution to climate warming.»

carbon dioxide as a dangerous pollutant carrying
significant risks to
human health and the environment.
The basic calculations focus primarily on a few types of
human interactions with forests which are believed to result in the most
significant fluxes of
carbon.
Hypothesis 2a: Although the natural causes of climate variations and changes are undoubtedly important, the
human influ - ences are
significant and involve a diverse range of first - order climate forcings, includ - ing, but not limited to, the
human input of
carbon dioxide (CO2).
As a result of past and current
human greenhouse gas emissions, we have already locked in a substantial and
significant rate of Arctic
carbon emission feedback.
However, I think the evidence favours a
significant climate impact due to
human carbon emissions and therefore some response is required.
«In a clear, understandable manner that a high school graduate with a few general science courses could understand, Climate Change Reconsidered effectively rebuts the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report that
carbon dioxide due to
human activity causes
significant global warming.
The nature of the
carbon dioxide problem is such that
significant effects on many aspects of the natural environment and
human endeavors are possible within the next few decades.
Finally, we are now realizing that black
carbon is a
significant issue which affects
human health as well as the climate.
NIPCC scientists concluded the IPCC was biased with respect to making future projections of climate change, discerning a
significant human - induced influence on current and past climatic trends, and evaluating the impacts of potential
carbon dioxide - induced environmental changes on Earth's biosphere.
The clearing of rainforests and
carbon - rich peatlands for new plantations is releasing globally
significant carbon pollution, making Conflict Palm Oil a major driver of
human induced climate change.
Satellites show no warming in the troposphere «Satellite measurements indicate an absence of
significant global warming since 1979, the very period that
human carbon dioxide emissions have been increasing rapidly.
The latter is a politico -(pseudo) scientific construct, developed since the late - 1980s, in which the
human emission of «greenhouse gases», such as
carbon dioxide and methane, is unquestioningly taken as the prime - driver of a new and dramatic type of climate change that will inexorably result in a
significant warming during the next 100 years and which will inevitably lead to catastrophe for both humanity and the Earth.
They agree
carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas, that the world is warming, and that a
significant fraction of this is down to
humans.
As methane emissions from permafrost degradation will also be accompanied by larger fluxes of CO2, Arctic
carbon stores clearly have the potential to be a
significant amplifier to the
human release of
carbon.
Second of all,
humans can't easily have nearly as
significant effect on water vapor in the atmosphere as
carbon dioxide by direct emissions of these gases.
Most importantly, the observations have confirmed that
human activities, in particular a 40 % increase in atmospheric
carbon dioxide concentrations since the late 19th century, have had a discernible and
significant impact on the climate system already.
