Sentences with phrase «very modest warming»

If it hadn't been for that relatively short - term trend, no one would even be talking about global warming today, because there is nothing alarming about the very modest warming we've experienced since.

This is in very good agreement with the data, which show very modest warming over Antarctica in the last 100 years).

The long - term warming over the 21st century, however, is strongly influenced by the future rate of emissions, and the projections cover a wide variety of scenarios, ranging from very rapid to more modest economic growth and from more to less dependence on fossil fuels.

[emphasis added] Bast: «We believe that climate has warmed in the second half of the 20th Century, we believe that there is probably a measurable human impact on climate but it's probably very small, we think that natural forces probably overwhelm any impact that human activity can have, that computer models are too unreliable to forecast what the future might hold for climate and finally that a modest amount of warming is probably going to be, on net, beneficial both to human beings and the ecosystem.

I'm told that I'm smart, sensitive, funny, warm, loving and of course, modest... in addition, I've been told that I'm beautiful by those very close to me - thanks kids.

Given the total irrelevance of volcanic aerosols during the period in question, the only very modest effect of fossil fuel emissions and the many inconsistencies governing the data pertaining to solar irradiance, it seems clear that climate science has no meaningful explanation for the considerable warming trend we see in the earlier part of the 20th century — and if that's the case, then there is no reason to assume that the warming we see in the latter part of that century could not also be due to either some as yet unknown natural force, or perhaps simply random drift.

Anyway, IF the LIA was caused by volcanos that would mean temperatures would have been very much warmer without them and we can stop worrying about todays modest temperatures.

In climate change experiments with our LES framework, the Cu regime shows a modest positive shortwave feedback under warming, while the Sc and Sc - over-Cu regimes both show strong but state - dependent positive shortwave feedbacks, with a possible break - up of Sc layers in very warm climates.

Other experts say the warming was very modest and the case for action has yet to be made.

For instance, even a relatively modest warming over the coming decades is very likely to have a meaningful effect on the timing and distribution of precipitation and evaporation rates, which will, in turn, have a substantial impact on freshwater supplies.

So while admitting, there probably is a very modest amount of AGW in the current warming cycle, it could just as easily have been caused by: i) the effects of the huge increase in global irrigation, ii) tiny changes in the sun's radiation, and / or iii) the knock on effects of changes in the intensity and direction of ocean currents.

• Suppose that very modest sea - level rise - rate acceleration (1 mm / year per decade) is sustained for as many more years as the Parthenon has been standing (via the CO2 - driven global warming physics that Hansen's publications describe).

I've never disagreed with the possibility of climate disruption from anthropenic activities I've only argued that disruption is very likely to be overshadowed by net benefits like modest warming when the earth has been in a ice age for 4 million years, more warming in the higher latitudes and less in the lower exactly where most people would wish for warming (or lack thereof), and fertilization of the atmosphere with CO2 (plant food).

The science that Earth is dominated by net positive feedbacks that increase modest greenhouse gas warming to catastrophic levels is very debatable.
