Even though many of the planets orbit their stars very closely and have high temperatures, which in turn causes their hydrogen - rich atmospheres to expand and a fraction of the gases to escape the planet over time, it's unlikely that the planets will lose enough of their atmosphere to become rocky bodies like Earth, the researchers report online today in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society.

This resulted in a sudden drop of temperature all over the planet.

They need to know: what a GHG is and how the GHE works; the carbon cycle; how climate has changed over the entire geologic history of the planet; how the climate has changed recently (relatively speaking); the main variables of climate like temperature, rainfall, etc.; the role of the sun, atmosphere and oceans on climate.

but of course we'll be able to control the planet's temperature fluctuations and inconvenient excesses, and precisely guide geohistorical climatic trends over the next decades and centuries by regulating our co2 emissions.

The climate beat has kind of exploded over the past two weeks, with the normally intense run - up to treaty talks, which begin in Copenhagen on Monday, compounded by the unauthorized disclosure of thousands of e-mail messages and documents suggesting a back story behind efforts to chart the planet's past temperatures.

Although this is an over simplified model, I believe it is closer to the truth than the current idea that a change in the height of layer of atmosphere near the tropopause, around 100 mb, can affect the temperature of the planet at the 1000 mb level.

The global temperature record represents an average over the entire surface of the planet.

Rather than engaging in endlessly nitpicking, unproductive arguments over unknowns such as the logarithmic exponent describing the almost nonexistent / nonexistent effect of carbon dioxide on temperature, and the «estimate» of CO2 sensitivity, let's look at empirical evidence, and the big picture: CO2 is rising, and the planet's temperature is falling.

Verify using data collected only over the 1/3 of the planet that is covered with land strikes me as odd, particularly because we expect the land temperatures to rise faster than ocean temperatures.

Thus, as more energy accumulates in the lower - troposphere averaged over the whole planet, we would expect the temperatures of the near - surface troposphere to increase.

But that's actually an understatement by Gallup, since more than 97 % of the world's climatologists say that those carbon gases, which are given off by humans» burning of carbon - based fuels, are causing this planet's temperatures to rise over the long term, as those carbon gases accumulate in the atmosphere and also block the heat from being radiated back into outer space.
