"Slower warming" means that the rate at which something is getting warmer is decreasing or happening at a slower pace than before.
Full definition
But the expected
slow warming trend that results is unlikely to lead to rapid climate change.
Whether you are competing or training, do a
Long Slow Warm - up to recruit oxygen to the muscles of at least 15 - 20 minutes prior to competition.
While we must continue to aggressively reduce CO2 emissions, efforts to reduce short - lived climate pollutants like black carbon and methane can have an immediate effect
on slowing warming.
Long - term climate change since the Little Ice Age has been dominated by a
very slow warming, which the chart's «average» and «maximum» temperature trends reveal.
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.
Even if we only manage to
slow warming rather than prevent it, societies will have more time to adjust to the changes.
Along with the cap - and - trade program I've proposed, we will reduce our dangerous carbon emissions 80 percent by 2050 and
slow the warming of our planet.
Weakening Solar Output Won't
Slow Warming Over Next Century One argument often cited by climate skeptics and global warming deniers is that solar cycles are responsible for at least part of the warming we're seeing now.
The
recent slower warming is mainly explained by the fact that in recent years the La Niña state in the tropical Pacific prevailed, in which the eastern Pacific is cold and the ocean stores more heat (2).
But I expect it will take another 5 - 10 years of
slow warming for reality, physical and political, to force its will on the IPCC; by then «the science» will have changed enough that the fundamental IPCC paradigm («We are doomed unless we stop all burning of fossil fuels NOW!»)
As it does so, it oxidises to CO2, dissolving in seawater or reaching the atmosphere as CO2 which causes
far slower warming, but can nevertheless contribute to ocean acidification.
Again there's a hint of faster warming during April, and for these data of
slower warming during summer months.
They also have a smaller, counter-effect by slightly dimming sunlight and
so slowing warming.
Melting sea ice in the Arctic produces fresh water, slowing the circulation of denser salt water and thereby slowing warming currents
Scientists have raised alarming prospects for the future of the climate of north western Europe as meltwater pours south from the Arctic possibly
slowing the warming ocean currents.
«If these estimates had been accepted, it would have meant that the world community had been advised that little need be done to
slow the warming process, because it was cheaper not to,» he says.
Slowed Warming Zeke Hausfather, a data analyst at the Berkeley Earth project, has filed «Examining the Recent Slowdown in Global Warming» at the Yale Forum on Climate Change and the Media.
Two years of drought and a
constant slow warming across the Sierra Nevada also worked to turn the Rim Fire into an inferno.
In fact what happens is the trend near the end point gets affected by the fitting algorithm (hence 15 years of
slow warming gets ramped up in WHTs analysis).
A new article co-authored by the other of us (Michael Mann), shows that natural ocean oscillations have recently acted to
temporarily slow the warming of the Earth's surface temperatures, in combination with a relatively quiet sun, and active volcanoes.
We have plenty of time (well, we did years ago, but the clock is ticking) to work on alternative energies and other means of
slowing warming if we actually get off our butts and do something.
For example, the fact that UAH /
RSS slower warming in the 2000s has coincided with a solar minimum means that a regression is going to attribute the former to the latter, even though it might not be causal (although it probably is).
Slightly greater warming of the global ocean than the global land in 1910 to 1945 (seen in Table 2.1) is within the uncertainties of either data set, as a
slightly slower warming of the ocean might be expected on physical grounds.
Both datasets show the very
slow warming rates (and cooling at some latitudes) extending from the mid-latitudes of the Southern Hemisphere to the mid-latitudes of the Northern Hemisphere.
