Sentences with phrase «terms of heat trapping»

So in terms of heat trapping Gov. Brown should concentrating on reducing the non-greenhouse gases in the atmosphere over CA, gases like N2, O2, and Ar because they trap more heat then the so called greenhouse gases.

Not exact matches

But when it leaks into the air before it gets to the pilot light, methane has 30 times the short - term heat - trapping effects of carbon dioxide.

So the report notes that the current «pause» in new global average temperature records since 1998 — a year that saw the second strongest El Nino on record and shattered warming records — does not reflect the long - term trend and may be explained by the oceans absorbing the majority of the extra heat trapped by greenhouse gases as well as the cooling contributions of volcanic eruptions.

While a strong El Niño has given global temperatures a boost, the main reason for the spate of intensely warm months is the long - term warming of the planet caused by the accumulation of heat - trapping greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, scientists have found.

But even La Nina years now are warmer than El Niño years several decades ago because of the long - term warming caused by carbon dioxide and other heat - trapping gases emitted into the atmosphere.

These records show both the influence of the long - term trend in global warming — caused by the continued release of heat - trapping greenhouse gases into the atmosphere — as well as an exceptionally strong El Niño that is altering weather around the world.

He pledged last year to extract by the end of 2008 a shared long - term goal of this sort from the dozen or so countries responsible for 85 percent of emissions of carbon dioxide and other heat - trapping gases — including established economic powers and emerging giants led by China and India.

I asked Lee and McPhaden how a connection to greenhouse - driven warming could be made, given the possibility that the Pacific shift could be the result of long - term oscillations in conditions in the ocean unrelated to the buildup of heat - trapping greenhouse gases in the air.

And the radiant effects from all greenhouse gas [including H20 gas, which dominate greenhouse gas] has a rather insignificant effect in terms of trapping radiant energy - H20 gas has large effect due to it's latent heat.

This is where the term «blanket» comes from, from traditional physics and it refers to the whole of the Earth's atmosphere trapping heat / delaying the escape of heat from the Sun heated Earth.

I believe that many AGW proponents (a) use the term «heat - trapping gas» to connote the IR absorption / IR emission properties of some gases, and (b) then argue that everything else being equal the heat - trapping nature of a gas is by itself sufficient to conclude that material possessing an internal source of thermal energy will when surrounded by a heat - trapping gas be warmer that it would be in the absence of the heat - trapping gas.

And yet for skeptics, to reverse that presumption — again, the presumption being again that a radical alteration radical alteration of the long term heat trapping «quotient» of the atmosphere would not ultimately change climate, itself an expression of energy — «skeptics» require not just evidence, but proof.

But climatologists said they were still not sure if diminishing polar ice reflected some short - term natural cycle or was a wake - up call of possibly drastic climatic consequences of an industrial civilization's release of heat - trapping gases.

We support educating the public and policymakers in government and industry about the harmful human health effects of global climate change, and about the immediate and long - term health benefits associated with reducing greenhouse gas emissions (i.e., heat - trapping pollution) and taking other preventive and protective measures that contribute to sustainability.
