Not exact matches

Still, a great portion of the «summary for policymakers» deals with the recent temperature rise, and it concludes that it's «likely» that there is a human contribution to the observed trend (by which I assume CO2 emissions are especially understood, even more so considered the negative forcings mentioned).

I would have said it is transparently obvious that ice volume is a better measure than ice area, if you want to understand long - term trend and the impact of human emissions — though it's great to have both measures.

My understanding is that at this point we can control the situation somewhat; reducing our emissions should eventually reduce or stop the warming trend.

Monitor trends in energy use and CO2 emissions: follow the evolution of 50 global energy efficiency indicators to better understand policies» impact.

They also limit our understanding of how anthropogenic emissions will affect future warming trends.

Even worse, the paper's authors concluded «the new data call into question our understanding of observed stratospheric temperature trends and our ability to test simulations of the stratospheric response to emissions of greenhouse gases and ozone - depleting substances.»

Ultimately, the latest scientific understanding of climate change allied with current emission trends and a commitment to «limiting average global temperature increases to below 4C above pre-industrial levels», demands a radical reframing of both the climate change agenda, and the economic characterization of contemporary society.

Finally, the researchers examined collections of model simulations with and without human emissions factored in to understand to what degree human emissions were responsible for a given impact, by comparing these simulations against observed trends.

For example, they pointed to additional temperature data gathered in the last few years, which have been substantially warmer than any similar string of years in many centuries; to improvements in computer models designed to project future trends; and to better understanding of the influence of other climate - influencing emissions, like particles of sulfates that can cool the earth by reflecting sunlight back into space.

While this trend is not evident in observational data to date, our research highlights the immediate importance of understanding how climate variability and disturbance affects savanna dynamics if landscapes in this region are to be used as enhanced carbon sinks in emission offset schemes.
