Sentences with phrase «trapping additional heat»

Not exact matches

Regardless, the solar change is dwarfed by the impact from the extra heat trapped by CO2 alone since 1750: an additional 1.66 watts per square meter, an effect that other greenhouse gases, such as methane, strengthen further.

Innovative urban design could create increased access to active transport.99 The compact geographical area found in cities presents opportunities to reduce energy use and emissions of heat - trapping gases and other air pollutants through active transit, improved building construction, provision of services, and infrastructure creation, such as bike paths and sidewalks.303, 318 Urban planning strategies designed to reduce the urban heat island effect, such as green / cool roofs, increased green space, parkland and urban canopy, could reduce indoor temperatures, improve indoor air quality, and could produce additional societal co-benefits by promoting social interaction and prioritizing vulnerable urban populations.311, 303

Studies such as Otto et al. (2012) display how the numerical scale of the simulation numbers allows for clear separation between a climate with lower level of heat - trapping gases (1960s) and the recent period (2000s), such that the 2010 heat wave in western Russia was more likely to occur with the additional warming due to climate change (Figure 3).

An additional issue of outdoor enclosures can also be the aptly - named greenhouse effect, a consequence of not using bonded panels, whereby the air trapped between the display panel and overlay will under sun exposure heat at a much faster rate than usual.

For his view, circa 1989, of a way for this age of methane abundance to play out without a concomitant and destabilizing additional burst of heat - trapping carbon dioxide, read here (I've sent a query to see if he'd adjust this scenario at all now, and will report back):

Innovative urban design could create increased access to active transport.99 The compact geographical area found in cities presents opportunities to reduce energy use and emissions of heat - trapping gases and other air pollutants through active transit, improved building construction, provision of services, and infrastructure creation, such as bike paths and sidewalks.303, 318 Urban planning strategies designed to reduce the urban heat island effect, such as green / cool roofs, increased green space, parkland and urban canopy, could reduce indoor temperatures, improve indoor air quality, and could produce additional societal co-benefits by promoting social interaction and prioritizing vulnerable urban populations.311, 303

Somerville and other scientists say they frequently have to make sure people they talk to understand the difference between «emissions» — the amount of additional heat - trapping gas humanity puts in the atmosphere per year, and «concentrations» — the amount of those gases that has piled up in the atmosphere and goes on hanging there for a long time.

Especially because of past emissions of long - lived heat - trapping gases, some additional climate change and related impacts are now unavoidable.

Studies such as Otto et al. (2012) display how the numerical scale of the simulation numbers allows for clear separation between a climate with lower level of heat - trapping gases (1960s) and the recent period (2000s), such that the 2010 heat wave in western Russia was more likely to occur with the additional warming due to climate change (Figure 3).

Scientists are studying how carbon - rich permafrost known as yedoma acts much like frozen vegetables to hungry microbes — and is becoming an additional source of heat - trapping gases.

Radiative forcing is a multiplier that is added to the carbon emissions factor, that quantifies these additional effects; including the fact that emitting GHGs in the upper atmosphere has a greater heat - trapping effect than emitting GHGs at ground level.

Although methane is about 200 times less abundant than carbon dioxide, each incremental molecule of methane has about 20 times the heat - trapping power as each additional molecule of carbon dioxide.
