Not exact matches

But beyond the increased amount of precipitation, Wehner adds, «this study more generally increases our understanding of how the various processes in extreme storms can change as the overall climate warms
Climate forecasts have long noted that every increase in global temperature heightens the odds of runaway global warming, beyond any human control.
I'd say a warming trend showing - up in one set of data no later than 1850 (significant enough to cause measurably increase rates of glacier melt) vs a warming trend not showing - up in another set of data until later than 1900 is a conflict that is well beyond a «bit silly.»
According to his research, biomass burning has other impacts that increase warming in the atmosphere, beyond just producing greenhouse gas emissions.
Projected temperature and precipitation increases may be favorable in the short term for some Montana crops and forage production, but the effects of warming will become increasingly disruptive as they accelerate beyond adaptation thresholds.
However, in comparison with the solar case, the FIR photosphere of alpha Cen A appears marginally cooler, Tmin = T160mu = 3920 + / -375 K. Beyond the minimum near 160mu, the brightness temperatures increase and this radiation likely originates in warmer regions of the chromosphere of alpha Cen A. To the best of our knowledge this is the first time a temperature minimum has been directly measured on a main - sequence star other than the Sun.
I'd say a warming trend showing - up in one set of data no later than 1850 (significant enough to cause measurably increase rates of glacier melt) vs a warming trend not showing - up in another set of data until later than 1900 is a conflict that is well beyond a «bit silly.»
What is shockingly ill - advised to me is that the Pielke and McIntyre projections both required, in order to fit with their hoped for story line, that the adjustments not only affect the period from 1945 to 1960, but also extend beyond that into the late 90s, in order to level the more recent temperature increases so as to both make the rate appear less dramatic and the amount of recent, CO2 forced warming less of a concern.
These feedbacks amplify warming well beyond the effects caused by increasing greenhouse gas concentrations alone.
(1) One is the ice sheet and glacier mechanical collapse, which doesn't require a whole lot more warming, but will happen with some set minimum amount of warming over some time period; and (2) the other is global warming that keeps increasing beyond the level needed to cause # 1, which among other things will perhaps lead to positive carbon feedbacks (e.g., from melting permafrost and hydrates).
Among them are Global Warming, increased pollution, using our military to keep supply options open, and potentially enabling the earth to be populated beyond its carrying capacity.
16 years without additional warming, no more intense hurricanes, no more intense tornadoes, no increased sea level rise beyond the rate we've seen for centuries, no more flooding, no more droughts than we've had, and on top of it what looks to be lower, perhaps much lower atmospheric sensitivity.
The number of governments, private corporations, organizations, scientists and technologies concerned with meeting the challenge of climate change and global warming have increased beyond expectations in the past decade and continues to create an army of «green fighters,» like Green Peace, but the impact on large numbers of people have not reached a critical mass to reverse the present warming trends.
Scientists expect a warming world to drive further sea - level rise over this century and beyond.3, 10,11 New York City faces increases in coastal flooding, the extent and frequency of storm surge, erosion, property damage, and loss of wetlands.3, 12,13
The new work goes well beyond an increasingly dated consensus finding of the international scientific community on sea level, which stated that it could increase by nearly 1 meter by the year 2100, under a worst - case scenario version of global warming.
World leaders are ostensibly committed to keeping the increase in average global temperature below 2 °C relative to pre-industrial levels — the threshold beyond which the most catastrophic effects of global warming would be triggered.
b. All nations agreed to limit the increase in global average temperatures to «well below 2 °C above pre-industrial levels» — the level beyond which scientists believe the Earth will likely begin to experience rapid global warming and to «pursue efforts to limit the temperature increase to 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels», a warming amount which may also cause serious global harms particularly to many poor, vulnerable nations.
So while each individual evaporation event is endothermic, very few are spontaneous upon absorption of a photon and so most energy goes into warming the skin layer; it just so happens that the skin layer is still cooler because this is where all the energy for R comes from and it is also cooled by L; but increasing L beyond any increase in DLR is definitely still a violation of the second law!
The likely outcome is that global warming will produce significantly increasing CH4 emissions beyond human control (unlike farming and industrial emissions) and well beyond the capacity of hyroxils to oxidise.
In fact, the Yohe paper that Romm cites suggests that additional warming of up to 2 °C, may be on the whole a net benefit to humanity, even though, like others, it seems that study doesn't fully consider the increases in adaptive capacity and secular technological change, consideration of which would reduce future damages from climate change, effectively increasing the temperature beyond which climate change would result in net losses globally, and reduce the benefit - cost ratio for mitigation.
It increases the internal energy content of the warmer surface beyond what it was before.
It seems to me that, if we exclude the cost of «Energy» for the moment, warming would be net beneficial to beyond 4 C temperature increase.
Read more: Stanford University Aerosols Also Implicated in Glacier Melting, Changing Weather Patterns Other research examining the effects of soot on melting glaciers and changing weather pattens in South Asia has reached similar conclusions: Beyond increasing atmospheric warming, because the soot coats the surface of the snow and ice it changes the albedo of the surface, allowing it to absorb more sunlight and thereby accelerating melting.
What your bathtub problem has to do with the most recent lack of warming of our climate system despite ever - increasing CO2 levels is beyond me, but it was a neat side - shuffle.
«Even if this was feasible, it would only buy time — when we stop the pumping one day, additional discharge from Antarctica will increase the rate of sea - level rise even beyond the warming - induced rate.
