Sentences with phrase «warms the atmosphere >»

I mean the process is supposedly that CO2 warms the atmosphere > atmospheric heat is then absorbed by the ocean > deep ocean heat causes sea levels to rise due to thermal expansion.

Not exact matches

If for any reason the atmosphere gets warmer - > oxygen & nitrogen expand INSTANTLY - > release extra heat and equalize in a jiffy: http://globalwarmingdenier.wordpress.com/q-a/
So a local spike in precipitation releases a lot of heat — but as the heat increases, this negatively affects the vapor - > water transition (precipitation, or raindrop formation), since warm air holds more water then cool air — and so the limit on precipitation vis - a-vis the radiative balance of the atmosphere appears.
The only reason some places get warmer than normal is because; other places get colder than normal — shrink and make space to accommodate the extra volume of air, from where is warmer — otherwise, if the WHOLE atmosphere gets warmer - > earth's radiator increases in volume and equalizes in a jiffy.
THERE is little grey area or middle - ground in often heated debates, with the CAGW camp blaming the burning of fossil fuels, namely coal, not only for a > 1 degree celsius warming of the atmosphere since 1850, but on literally anything and everything that moves, shifts, spins or tilts upon contact with colourless, odourless, tasteless, non-reactive, trace gas and plant food carbon dioxide!
Pretty simple, the warmer the oceans and the atmosphere, the faster water evaporates from the oceans and the more water vapor the atmosphere can hold = > more greenhouse effect from water vapor in the atmosphere.
Given that > 93 % of warming is going into the oceans, ~ 2.3 % into the atmosphere, even a small rate change in ocean warming relative to the total greenhouse gas imbalance will have a huge effect on air temperatures.
One question, how would a paper which accepted the basic chain of human emissions - > more CO ₂ in the atmosphere - > warming - > positive feedbacks (water vapour, etc) but then proposed that there were large negative feedbacks which cancel out most of the effect be counted?
Given the fact that we now measure i) a > 35 year warming in the atmosphere, ii) an unabated ~ 35 year increase in 0 - 2000 meter ocean heat content and iii) an shorter - term but accelerating melting of land ice (Greenland, Antarctica, glaciers), is there any possible mechanism that could explain such simultaneous warming in terms of natural variability in the absence of a net forcing?
