Not exact matches

The initiative, known as Yasuní - ITT, failed to raise the necessary funds as northern Annex 1 countries balked at contributing to keeping fossil fuels in the ground — a strategy that is now a scientific imperative if the world is to meet its declared goal of avoiding a 2 °C rise in temperature.

Keep in mind the interior temperature of ground shipping trucks can be 10 to 20 degree's warmer.

The air temperature had risen to 95 degrees Fahrenheit, which kept most of the area's terrestrial denizens hiding in shade or below ground.

And there remains little doubt that average temperatures are getting warmer at ground level; data from NOAA's National Climatic Data Center reveals that the last decade was the warmest since record - keeping began.

Now that there is snow on the ground and temperatures are very low, we need to keep in mind our pet's safety as well as our own.

The non-profit financial think tank Carbon Tracker has suggested that if world leaders are serious about keeping the world's temperature from rising above 2 degrees, then much of the world's carbon reserves will be unburnable and forced to stay in the ground, including any drilling in the Arctic.

Scientists have shown that most of the coal, oil and gas reserves such companies own will have stay in the ground if the global rise in temperature is to be kept under 2C.

It would be constrained by convective activity to keep in step with ground - level temperature, not by radiation.

A side note: NASA and NOAA are only two of four major government agencies worldwide keeping track of global temperature trends, using both satellites and a network of ground - based thermometers, buoys, radar, and other tools.

36, to use your words, convection - limited would mean «It would be constrained by convective activity to keep in step with ground - level temperature, not by radiation.»

This is also consistent with the bonchardi mechanism mode, which fairly consistently indicates we can expect a reversal of ambient air temperature increase with the next day, as the dual modality of reverse recapture recombination functions as an equalizer, and the increase in low level re radiation acts as a «heat shield» keeping more air from reaching and warming the ground, allowing ice to reformulate, while most of the temporary heat, which will largely be offset by the Atlantic shift paradigm anyway, given the lower absolute percentage of (so called?)

The temperature gradient combined with the height difference between the surface radiating to space and the solid ground causes a temperature difference, maintained by the external work done by convection, that keeps the ground warmer than the radiating surface.

This is why gardeners will put water vapor in the air and water liquid on the ground around their garden on a clear cold night — it protects the local area from cooling as fast because water vapor and liquid both 1) cool much slower than dry air due to their massive heat capacity, and 2) cool even slower because they release their massive latent heat, which means that heat energy is released from them without requiring a drop in temperature — once they're in the latent heat release phase, they just keep shedding energy without dropping in temperature any further.

Today the International Energy Agency released its World Energy Outlook and confirmed estimates that the overwhelming majority of known fossil fuel reserves (75 - 80 %) will have to be kept in the ground to avoid 2 degrees Celsius temperature rise.

I've worked in the NWT in areas of permafrost and it was very nice to be able to just dig a hole in the ground to keep our food cool when the outside temperature was 90 F during the longest days of the year.

The report points to Browne and Erwin's «pivotal roles» in the formation of the burgeoning shale gas industry in the UK at a time when scientists warned most of the world's fossil fuel reserves have to be kept in the ground in order to limit global temperature rise in line with the Paris Agreement.

«Keep it in the Ground» has been a rallying cry for groups working to fight climate change, after researchers calculated that at least a third of known oil reserves, half of gas reserves and 80 percent of coal reserves should not be burned to prevent an average global temperature increase of more than 2 degrees Celsius.
