Sentences with phrase «significantly slowing warming»

And with the catastrophic impacts of the climate crisis bearing down on us, it's no small thing to be presented with a clear set of possibilities for quickly and significantly slowing warming.

If we lower these emissions by a lot and keep below 400 - 450 ppm CO2 and watch those methane emissions and melting permafrost we can significantly slow the warming in 60 - 100 years and reduce the risks in the couple of decades, adjusting for the lag phase.

Not exact matches

Their growth is slow until it warms up significantly.

The rate of warming was just 0.04 °C per decade from 1998 to 2012, significantly lower than the average 0.11 °C warming per decade since 1951 (see «How much has warming slowed?

Natural global warming is self - rectifying either by slow chemical weathering processes responsible for mineral sequestration of carbon or by gradual return of Earth's orbital parameters to what they were before the onset of global warming, thereby significantly reducing the amount of solar radiation reaching the Earth's surface.

That the heat absorption of the ocean as a whole (at least to 2000 m) has not significantly slowed makes it clear that the reduced warming of the upper layer is not (at least not much) due to decreasing heating from above, but rather mostly due to greater heat loss to lower down: through the 700 m level, from the upper to the lower layer.

FYI, I am in the «undecided» crowd — as in undecided on how much warming is natural vs anthropogenic, undecided whether or not warming is good vs bad, undecided whether or not warming can be catastrophic (and at what level of GHG such a thing would happen), undecided whether or not man can significantly slow - down or reverse warming, undecided whether or not we should be concerned with trying to fight climate change vs preparing to deal with it, etc..

I wish it were the case that the rate of global warming has significantly slowed and that we don't have to «be scared» of more extreme weather events, droughts and flooding.

The likes of Tom Harris, better known for his lobbying work on behalf of the Canadian energy industry, and Fred Singer, formally a tobacco company expert - for - hire, are trying to make headlines again claiming that the warming of our planet has significantly slowed down.

Natural global warming is self - rectifying either by slow chemical weathering processes responsible for mineral sequestration of carbon or by gradual return of Earth's orbital parameters to what they were before the onset of global warming, thereby significantly reducing the amount of solar radiation reaching the Earth's surface.

More clouds both drastically reduce energy input from the sun and simply slow release of what energy there is trapped in the lower troposphere, but the long term effect would be a fall in average temperature because of the significantly reduced input power but the atmosphere's ability to cool is aided by air current circulation whereby the warmer air rises above those low clouds and that infra - red is more easily re-emitted into space, whereby the low clouds now block that re-emission from hitting the ground again to any significant degree.

been reduced significantly (enough for the heating to slow down and prevent boiling), what we have is a warming planet.

According to data from the Ocean Surface Topography Mission / Jason 2 satellite, ocean temperatures in the central and eastern equatorial Pacific are significantly warmer than usual due to slowing trade winds.

All of these factors significantly warm the surface of the snow, even in mid-winter, and slow the growth of ice.
