Sentences with phrase «water vapor feedback»

You are on the same order of magnitude as CO2 without water vapor feedback.

It is instead a surface water vapor feedback which adds additional surface warming on top of the usual things we talk about.

This occurs, in part, as a result of both the lower and upper atmospheric water vapor feedbacks, triggered by the increase in anthropogenic greenhouse gases.

Studies show that water vapor feedback roughly doubles the amount of warming caused by CO2.

If that problem could be solved, it would provide the longest record of water vapor feedback driven by the largest change in temperature.

It in some sense includes but (as I understand it) in no sense measures the impact of water vapor feedback on radiative equilibrium.

This study highlights the role of water vapor feedback in amplifying the global cooling after the eruption of Mount Pinatubo.

The atmosphere and surface might very well heat up from enhanced GHE, but as soon as water vapor feedback kicks in it will actually act as both a positive and a negative feedback.

The point is quite simply: The IPCC assumption of essentially constant relative with warming is not supported by the physically observed data, therefore the assumption of strong water vapor feedback with warming is also not supported by the observations.

It is not slightly negative but game over for global warming alarmism if water vapor feedbacks are negative.

The lapse rate and water vapor feedbacks respond slowly (10 years to reach full feedback) to a pulse of GHG emissions.

Nevertheless, the results described here provide key evidence of the reliability of water vapor feedback predicted by current climate models in response to a global perturbation in the radiative energy balance.»

And, the evidence now suggests that a NEGATIVE water vapor feedback cancels about 75 % of the previously assumed impact of CO2 (abstract found here).

This is why water vapor feedback remains heavily debated in the scientific community, and even the IPCC admits that «an uncertainty range arises from our limited knowledge of clouds and their interactions with radiation.»

Hey joshie,» a lack of catastrophic water vapor feedback» would make the Chicken Littles go away.
