Sentences with phrase «substantially warm the world»

Not exact matches

Climate models predict that as the world warms, heat in inner Asia will continue to rise substantially faster than the global mean.

This isn't news to top climate scientists around the world (see Hadley Center: «Catastrophic» 5 — 7 °C warming by 2100 on current emissions path) or even to top climate scientists in this country (see US Geological Survey stunner: Sea - level rise in 2100 will likely «substantially exceed» IPCC projections, SW faces «permanent drying») and certainly not to people who follow the scientific literature, like Climate Progress readers (see Study: Water - vapor feedback is «strong and positive,» so we face «warming of several degrees Celsius»).

In the first comprehensive international report on Antarctica's climate, there was strong agreement that the West Antarctic Ice Sheet will contribute substantially to the ongoing rise in sea levels in a warming world, while increased snowfall in the interior could offset the contribution somewhat.

Habitable, of course, but it would appear that the world will be changing quite substantially — and the long - term effects may be more significant than «global warming.»

But the world is actually greening due to the warming (despite any deforestation) and there are substantially bigger risks in swapping cheap, reliable energy with expensive intermittent energy.

Anthropogenic activities led to the stabilization of atmospheric CO2 concentrations at a level that made the world substantially warmer than it otherwise would be.

In terms of greenhouse agents, the main conclusions from the WGI FAR Policymakers Summary are still valid today: (1) «emissions resulting from human activities are substantially increasing the atmospheric concentrations of the greenhouse gases: CO2, CH4, CFCs, N2O»; (2) «some gases are potentially more effective (at greenhouse warming)»; (3) feedbacks between the carbon cycle, ecosystems and atmospheric greenhouse gases in a warmer world will affect CO2 abundances; and (4) GWPs provide a metric for comparing the climatic impact of different greenhouse gases, one that integrates both the radiative influence and biogeochemical cycles.

But with heat waves becoming more intense and happening more often as the world warms, that air conditioner use on the hottest days will put substantially more demand on the nation's electricity grids, a new study finds.
