I ask because my limited understanding is that temperature is related to kinetic energy, but would not register an overall increase in potential energy, in which case energy from the sun could be partitioned in heat energy emitted from the planet and work used to increase potential energy, possibly allowing an energy balance that does not require a radiation balance, and also does not require a warming effect.

And it is likely that more CO2 and the modest warming that may come with it will be an overall benefit to the planet.

What this means is that the overall rate of absorption of CO2 by the oceans is a complex function of numerous processes — biological, chemical and physical — whose individual contributions are still a matter of active scientific research (and which are certainly changing as the planet warms).

Short - term toxic chemical cool - downs are carried out at the cost of a far worsened overall warming, a shredded ozone layer, a completely derailed hydrological cycle, and completely contaminated planet.

In environmental circles there is a clear and correct recognition of the fact that the planet is warming at an astounding pace, yet, there is a perplexing denial of the ongoing climate engineering insanity (which is mathematically the greatest single negative influence on the climate system overall).

The geoengineers can create toxic cool - downs over large regions, at the expense of worsening the overall warming of the planet.

Ideally people will begin using the term «global warming» to refer to the planet's overall heat accumulation.

Only about 2 % of the planet's overall warming heats the atmosphere, so if we focus only on surface air temperatures, we miss 98 % of the overall warming of the globe.

However, given that the overall warming or heating of the planet continues at a rate equivalent to 4 Hiroshima atomic bomb detonations per second, this framing of the issue is clearly inaccurate and misleading.

Although the countries of Africa have some of the lowest overall and per capita global warming emissions on the planet, they are also likely to suffer from some of the worst consequences of climate change.

At the same time, the overall warming of the planet has continued, and if anything it has accelerated.

To me all the witnesses and senators are obviously persons of consequence but I don't think your excerpt shows that anyone should think he takes issue with this statement — «No one questions that surface temperatures have increased overall since 1880, or that humans are adding carbon dioxide to the atmosphere, or that carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases have a warming effect on the planet.»

Though all available data makes clear that stratospheric aerosol geoengineering (SAG) can and does cool large regions temporarily, it comes at the cost of a worsened overall long term warming to the planet.

Overall, Democrats and liberals are more likely than Republicans and conservatives to say the Earth is warming, human activity is the cause of the change, the problem is serious and there is scientific consensus about the climate changes underway and the threat it poses to the planet.

One key question Hartmann is keen on better understanding is how the overall warming of the planet might impact the climate cycles that potentially put the divide in place.

Note that focusing on surface air temperatures misses more than 90 % of the overall warming of the planet.

And remember, the satellite data are one small part of a vast amount of data that overwhelmingly show our planet is warming up: retreating glaciers, huge amounts of ice melting at both poles, the «death spiral» of arctic ice every year at the summer minimum over time, earlier annual starts of warm weather and later starts of cold weather, warming oceans, rising sea levels, ocean acidification, more extreme weather, changing weather patterns overall, earlier snow melts, and lower snow cover in the spring...

The primary driver of Earth's hydrological cycle is more evaporation from a warming planet and warming seas (which climate engineering is making worse overall, not better).

The planet is not just warming, but in total meltdown (with climate engineering helping to fuel the overall fire).

Between 1976 and 2006, El Nino's were relative more common than La Nina's (a condition that exists if there is a positive PDO), producing an overall warming of the planet.

With a great deal of polar warming going on (more so than lower latitudes) it would be the opinion of many that GISS is more accurate overall if you want to look at the whole surface of the planet.

In their attempt to create the illusion of ferocious winter weather on a rapidly warming planet, the geoengineers are actually further fueling the overall planetary heating.

The releasing methane then greatly contributes to feedback loops which, in turn, radically worsen the overall warming of the planet.

No - I also don't doubt that ACO2 will warm the climate if all other conditions remain unchanged (which is highly unlikely to happen in the actual system), but am uncertain about the magnitude / timing of the effect in the real climate system and whether any change will lead to conditions that are better or worse for the US or the planet overall.

There is no reliable data to determine to show that a warmer planet is not better for humanity overall in the long term.

The Lower Troposphere is all air and air responds overall more quickly to local warming events (such as ENSO episodes) because it mixes more quickly around the planet.

The problem is that when Davey correctly pointed out that surface temperatures are only one small piece of overall global warming (about 2 percent), and melting ice and warming oceans must also be considered (over 90 percent of the overall heating of the planet), Neil remained focused exclusively on surface temperatures.

Fron a larger perspective, I am not certain that a warmer planet is necessarily bad for humanity overall in the long term.

Atmosforests.org It supports the theory that: The sun, the earth, atmosphere, oceans and rainforests, are a complex living organism and the only natural system of the creation, able to adjust and maintain the balance of the atmosphere, of the global warming, oxygen, ozone, general DNA and the overall balance of the planet.

Our planet is accelerating toward a state of total meltdown, though highly destructive (and toxic) covert geoengineering programs can create short term cool - doowns, this manipulation comes at the cost of an even worse overall warming.

Global climate engineering programs not only worsening the overall warming of the biosphere, but also destroying the ozone layer, derailing the hydrological cycle, and contaminating the entire planet due to the highly toxic heavy metal and chemical fallout.

The paradox is this, every climate intervention that the climate engineers carry out makes the overall warming of the planet worse, not better.

The climate engineers can and are creating large scale toxic temporary cool - downs at the cost of a worsened overall warming effect to the planet.

The bottom line is this, the planet is warming at an astounding pace, climate engineering can create short term toxic cool - downs at the cost of a worsened overall warming.
