Not exact matches

Any area on an unwrapped mattress where a baby sleeps is a potential source of toxic gas, since that is the area which becomes warm and moist (promoting the fungal activity which can cause gas generation).

In a statement published after the experiment was completed, the Alfred Wegener Institute, where Smetacek works, said the results «dampened hopes on the potential of the Southern Ocean to sequester significant amounts of carbon dioxide and thus mitigate global warming.»

The best suited locations are warm and humid regions, particularly in India, Brazil, South East Asia, and China, where almost three quarters of the global potential could be realized.

In the north where I live, I truly value my car when it's 7 degrees F. However, the potential of fabricating a new energy capture technology doesn't mean the global warming idea is a Trojan horse.

-- How about THIS: «Thus the weight of evidence points to increasing potential intensity in the region where Pam developed, and consistent with this, increasing intensity of the highest category storms based on satellite - derived measurements» — How about THIS: «All of this is consistent with the strengthening consensus that the frequency of high category tropical cyclones should increase as the planet warms (Knutson et al., 2010).»

More on the Potential Risk of Methane Bubbling From the Siberian Seafloor Further reinforcement of the notion that while permafrost melting is certainly a cause for concern due to the global warming potential of trapped methane, at least where the Siberian seafloor is concerned, well, notPotential Risk of Methane Bubbling From the Siberian Seafloor Further reinforcement of the notion that while permafrost melting is certainly a cause for concern due to the global warming potential of trapped methane, at least where the Siberian seafloor is concerned, well, notpotential of trapped methane, at least where the Siberian seafloor is concerned, well, not so much.

Furthermore, slightly warmer than normal temperatures increase atmospheric moisture content, elevating potential snow amounts where they occur.»

Couple that with the limited growth potential of CO2 concentrations and growing biological response (which likely lags concentration growth), and it doesn't even seem plausible that warming will be a net cost on a meaningful time scale (hey anything is possible — maybe there are temporary climate regimes where even mild ghe produces worse weather which we just haven't experienced yet — eg a portion of the - PDO phase).

This suggests a potential positive feedback loop wherein a warming climate supports larger algal populations, larger algal populations provide more organic matter to support more methane production, and a portion of the methane produced escapes to the atmosphere, where it functions to further warm climate.

Thawing permafrost also delivers organic - rich soils to lake bottoms, where decomposition in the absence of oxygen releases additional methane.116 Extensive wildfires also release carbon that contributes to climate warming.107, 117,118 The capacity of the Yukon River Basin in Alaska and adjacent Canada to store carbon has been substantially weakened since the 1960s by the combination of warming and thawing of permafrost and by increased wildfire.119 Expansion of tall shrubs and trees into tundra makes the surface darker and rougher, increasing absorption of the sun's energy and further contributing to warming.120 This warming is likely stronger than the potential cooling effects of increased carbon dioxide uptake associated with tree and shrub expansion.121 The shorter snow - covered seasons in Alaska further increase energy absorption by the land surface, an effect only slightly offset by the reduced energy absorption of highly reflective post-fire snow - covered landscapes.121 This spectrum of changes in Alaskan and other high - latitude terrestrial ecosystems jeopardizes efforts by society to use ecosystem carbon management to offset fossil fuel emissions.94, 95,96

The main root of this threat is the potential collapse of West Antarctica's marine - based ice sheets — massive expanses of glacial ice that rest not on land but the ocean floor — in particular, those where warm ocean waters circulate nearby [Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), 2013].

Pre-war temperature also has the potential for being noisier because the sampling covered less of the globe so is more prone to confluences situations where they drive cooling / warming in the observed locations and the opposite in the non-observed locations (cf the difference between HadCRUT3 and GISTEMP).

The energy system is both a source of emissions that lead to global warming and it can also be directly affected by climate change: through changes in our energy consumption patterns, potential shutdowns of offshore oil and gas production, changing ice and snow conditions in the oil production regions of Alaska, changing sea ice conditions in the Arctic Ocean and the implications for shipping routes, and impacts of sea - level rise on coasts, where so much of our energy facility infrastructure is located.

Ms. Sattler previously worked as a thermal technologies engineer at TIAX LLC, where she researched and analyzed potential technologies to reduce global warming emissions from combustion devices.

There is no area in global warming discussions where AGW advocates have done more to shoot down their own credibility than in the absolutely egregious science and absurd claims that have been made about the potential negative effects of global warming.
