Once the TTL cools, less water vapor is present in the TTL and also above in the stratosphere.<br /><br />Since water vapor is a very strong greenhouse gas, this effect leads to a negative feedback on climate change. That is, the increase in water vapor due to enhanced evaporation from the warming oceans is confined to the near- surface area, while the stratosphere becomes drier. Hence, this effect may actually slightly weaken the more dire forecasted aspects of an increasing warming of our climate, the scientists say.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31079809771482270.post-41998027753485687372013-09-09T06:20:12.769-07:002013-09-09T06:20:12.769-07:00Global warming?

Mother Earth could actually mount a reaction against humanity as an invading pathogen, in much the same way as the human body mounts reactions to cure us of, for example, the nasty crud that made my holidays somewhat less than merry.<br /><br />The earth as an organism, as a living thing ... suppose that it decides, in its great wisdom, that it has had enough of us, just as my own body decided, of its own wisdom and without my having to give it any conscious effort, to rid itself of the little viruses that were making it so miserable?<br /><br />I believe that in fact humanity as a species is doomed to suffer this type of attack, not once, but likely over and over.<br /><br />Hurricanes, volcaones, earthquakes, pandemics ... Mother Earth has her way.<br /><br />One particularly spooky thought, which occurred to me during one of those long beach walks that seem like such a distant memory these days, was the notion that if the world were to be completely rid of humanity, that if we all were to simply pass from the scene as no longer relevant to this planet or this universe, it would not be a big deal on a cosmic scale. Not a big crisis or anything ...<br /><br />... so if we wish to survive, we must change ourselves in fundamental ways that no government, no system, no ideology at present even has a clue about.<br /><br />Have a nice day (anyway)!<br />Stan Gibiliscohttp://www.sciencewriter.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31079809771482270.post-65464228515082540562013-01-06T08:21:42.459-08:002013-01-06T08:21:42.459-08:00Global petro-capitalism is not working so well eit...Global petro-capitalism is not working so well either.freeganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04894850641944854055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31079809771482270.post-14948359774389480522013-01-05T22:56:36.304-08:002013-01-05T22:56:36.304-08:00The root of the problem ...

I believe that much of it, recently, is human-caused.<br /><br />But I cannot prove the cause.<br /><br />Nor can I believe that a carbon tax would solve the problem. (If it were only that simple!)<br /><br />As for the NatGeo thing on solar storms, these events occur every sunspot cycle.<br /><br />In fact this cycle is forecast to peak out as lower intensity than the several past ones.<br /><br />Ham radio operators (such as myself) look forward to sunspot cycle peaks because they correlate with improved radio-wave propagation on the shortwave bands, especially from 10 to 30 MHz.<br /><br />Our increasingly fragile electronic infrastructure has become more vulnerable now than it was as recently as, say, 1990.<br /><br />Cheers!<br /><br />Stan Gibiliscohttp://www.sciencewriter.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31079809771482270.post-91224195569275721082013-01-05T05:46:05.739-08:002013-01-05T05:46:05.739-08:00We are only going after the symptoms and ignoring ...We are only going after the symptoms and ignoring the problems as usual.
