The much larger warmings forecast by IPCC require a major increase in atmospheric water vapor and warming clouds.
FORBES: What Happens When You Rub Two Climatologists Together?
The company uses patented technology to manufacture atmospheric water generators which, in certain geographic climates, can take humidity from the atmosphere and convert it into as much as 1200 liters of clean, potable water per day.
FORBES: Investors Are The Key To Solving The World's Water Problems
Kerry Black, a researcher at the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research and at the University of Waikato, in Hamilton, New Zealand, and his colleagues have been finding out what makes good waves on other coasts.
Setting out first thing in the morning, especially on an autumn or winter day, when you might get some atmospheric fog on the water, you can almost fool yourself into feeling that you are journeying back into the past.
The Grenoble study authors did not factor in influences the warming oceans would have had upon evaporated water vapor, that primary atmospheric greenhouse gas.
FORBES: The Feverish Hunt For Evidence Of A Man-Made Global Warming Crisis
These data will provide invaluable information about Antarctic atmospheric dynamics, of the origin of water vapour over the oceans and how it is ultimately deposited as snow on the surface of the ice sheet.
Weather satellites measuring atmospheric temperatures worldwide, over land and water, which are not subject to the above troubles of land based weather stations, show no warming since their record began in 1979, and before that there was actually global cooling dating back to 1940.
FORBES: Salvaging The Mythology Of Man-Caused Global Warming
"The high latitude North Atlantic Ocean is a globally important ocean region, as it is a sink for atmospheric carbon dioxide and an area where deep water formation takes place, " Prof Achterberg observed.
The idea is to test the effects on the atmospheric window of various pollutants, and also of water vapour, by releasing them into the building.
For example, when you heat a pan of water the vapor pressure increases until it reaches atmospheric pressure.
Groundwater is polluted due to poor land practices, atmospheric deposition of pollutants and direct discharge of sewage into water bodies.
As an explanation for the conundrum of the ice ages, this notion could only hold water if a mechanism for such large changes in atmospheric composition might be found in the real world.
Other models, relying on the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, project that any radioactive plumes would head east and drift over water for a few days, such that the majority of the radioactive particles would gradually dissipate into the ocean.
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration chief Jane Lubchenco echoed Allen's comments about Gulf seafood, saying that where water may still be tainted, no fishing is allowed.
"Usually when you see reports like this (of a dolphin trapped in low water) it means the animal is injured, " Allison McHale of the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration said Friday.
CNN: Rescuers: Dolphin stranded in polluted New York canal dies
The other episode cited in the editorial deals with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, which Kennedy says has told its scientists not to do interviews about a study linking increased water temperatures to hurricane intensity.
Nowadays, in an age of rising population and scarcities of food and water in some regions, it's a wonder that humanitarians aren't clamoring for more atmospheric carbon dioxide.
WSJ: Harrison H. Schmitt and William Happer: In Defense of Carbon Dioxide
The flooding, which began on the night of 31 January, was caused by a combination of a high spring tide, deep atmospheric low pressure which raised sea levels and exceptionally strong northerly gales, which led to a surge of sea water over coastal defences.
