Bottom line is that the heavy rainfall and disastrous flooding events that we continue to experience are certainly consistent with what the science tells us about the impacts
from increasing global temperatures.
All the forecasts predict
increasing global temperature trends, depending on the scenario: rapidly increasing temperatures if «business as usual» (A2 red), less rapidly increasing temperatures if action is taken against global warming (B1 blue, A1B green).
Friday's report is expected to contain language that further identifies the role human activity is playing
in increasing global temperatures through burning of fossil fuels and greenhouse gas emissions.
For example, he said, most participants recognized that carbon
dioxide increases global temperatures, yet mistakenly indicated that rising levels of atmospheric CO2 are expected to «reduce photosynthesis in plants.»
And, because the planet hasn't reached boiling point (in bitter defiance of the IPCC's models), the once concrete relationship between CO2 emissions and
increasing global temperature now seems murky, at best.
Confronting the risks posed by
increasing global temperatures requires a deep understanding of energy and agricultural policy, the needs of urbanizing and industrializing populations, and non-climate environmental and public health risks.
After filtering out the emotional (i.e. irrational) hysteria from your last post, I'm left with your statement that the added CO2 from human emissions is likely to a)
increase global temperature b) reduce ocean pH c) increase plant growth
While finishing up her dissertation at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), Parkinson and climate scientist William Kellogg decided to take the theory about carbon dioxide
emissions increasing global temperatures and apply it to a sea ice model that Parkinson had built.
