Sentences with phrase «things absorb more heat»

Not exact matches

As things heat up, I would therefore expect that hotter air will create less dense air and that said, air expansion would push the jet streams north and south as the tropics get more sunlight and the heat is trapped in the climate system, and absorbed slowly by the oceans.

This is a fortuitous thing, for if there was not this alteration of the energy flow, with the oceans absorbing more heat being the excellent heat sink they are, we'd have a much faster warming troposphere as greenhouse gases increase.

Pielke seniors thing is that land use changes leadto albedo changes which lead to more heat absorbed, so actually the warming isn't much to do with CO2 and so there isn't much of a problem.

Among other things, there is evidence that the oceans have absorbed more heat than we initially calculated.

(BTW, the skeptics like to game the Beer's Law thing — «existing CO2 already absorbs all the IR from the ground» — forgetting that absorbed heat has to be re-emitted, and more CO2 shifts up the equilibrium temperature.
