He rightly cited the solid scientific consensus showing
significant warming of the climate system, with most global warming in recent decades mainly a result of human activity.
In addition, he discussed the increase of atmospheric greenhouse gas concentrations and the consequent
anthropogenic warming of the climate system, decrease in sea ice and increase in ocean acidity.
The
gradual warming of the climate system caused by human activities is superimposed on natural phenomena such as El Niño Southern Oscillation, a climate cycle driven by changes in atmospheric and ocean circulation and sea surface temperatures in the equatorial Pacific.
My earlier criticism had been that the IPCC AR4 report was equivocating in not stating clearly and forcefully enough that human -
induced warming of the climate system is established fact, and not something to be labeled as «very likely» at the 90 percent probability level.
Read on for some important sections, starting with Francis's reference to, if not direct acceptance of, scientific reports concluding that humans are the dominant driver of
recent warming of the climate.
Also the current warming is unusual as past changes have been triggered by natural forcings whereas there are no known natural climate forcings, such as changes in solar irradiance, that can explain the current
observed warming of the climate system.
(1) there is established scientific concern
over warming of the climate system based upon evidence from observations of increases in global average air and ocean temperatures, widespread melting of snow and ice, and rising global average sea level;
Based on the available scientific knowledge it is only by concerted global actions and smart science - informed policies that we can provide solutions to
limit warming of the climate system to 2 °C above pre-industrial levels, and thus reduce the risks and mitigate the consequences of climate change.
Reduced Arctic sea ice and unusually warm ocean temperatures earlier in the summer — conditions thought to be related to the long - term
warming of the climate from building greenhouse gases — did not appear related to the disaster, which severely blunted wheat harvests and was blamed for more than 50,000 premature deaths, according to the researchers.
Here's a brief update on the great heat - toting oceanic currents that at one time were thought to be at risk from human -
driven warming of the climate.
Also global heat content of the ocean (which constitutes 85 % of the total warming) has continued to rise strongly in this period, and
ongoing warming of the climate system as a whole is supported by a very wide range of observations, as reported in the peer - reviewed scientific literature.
Tropical cyclone activity and intensity increasing Record droughts, floods, heat waves, cold spells, high tides occurring
Unequivocal warming of the climate system observed with very high confidence that human activities are to blame Temperature rising even more dramatically in Arctic, threatening ice loss and extinction of species Halving human CO2 emissions immediately might save the planet from catastrophe.
Clearly some of Greenland's fresh water will be released by any
further warming of our climate, adding to the sea surface dilution produced by global warming's increased rainfall.
While the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) still uses the iconic word «unequivocal» to
describe warming of the climate system over the past century, a new word has slipped into its lexicon: the «hiatus.»
At least, this is the conclusion from a fresh publication by Marianne Ryghaug and Tomas Moe Skjølsvold («The
global warming of climate science: Climategate and the construction of scientific facts» in International studies in the philosophy of science).
«Anthropogenic
warming of the climate leads to more frequent and severe drought events that weaken grasslands» carbon - sink function, possibly turning grasslands into carbon sources.»
-LSB-...]
Future warming of the climate is inevitable for many years due to the greenhouse gases already added to the atmosphere and the heat that has been taken up by the oceans.
The framing of» the red team effort» may be needed to concern only adaptation to
natural warming of climate and extreme weather events.
Scientists sifting for trends in record high and low temperatures across the United States have found more evidence of long -
term warming of the climate, with the biggest shift coming through a reduction in record low nighttime temperatures.
A.1 % chance of an Iranian nuke going off in anger that would lead to vast socio - political and economic turmoil is just as big a deal for investment planning as a long,
gradual warming of the climate.
Maximum circulation leaves your little one dry, even in
the warmest of climates, resulting in a happy baby.
«Definitely,
the warming of the climate is an issue.
