The ocean Destination can absorb a lot of the supplementary carbon Patient , thus 'liberating' the atmosphere during a few hundred years; however it is a very slow process. [ JACLET 0 MG TK 16/04/2012 ]

As trees die and burn, forests Destination absorb less carbon dioxide Patient , again leading to higher surface air temperatures as well as fierce and uncontrollable forest fires. [ RAPPORTPENTAGONE 0 MG TK 16/04/2012 ]

In the Amazon forest, scientists have noted that bigger, faster-growing trees bigger, faster-growing trees that Destination absorb more CO2 Patient are flourishing at the expense of others. [ CLIMATECHANGEYOUTH 0 MG TK MCLH 16/04/2012 ]

Paradoxically, oceans reduce global warming. Indeed, they Destination largely Degree absorb the most important of the greenhouse effect gases : carbon dioxide or CO2 Patient . [ NEWCOURIER2005 0 MG TK 16/04/2012 ]

Simulations predict that the ocean Destination will absorb three quarters of the excess carbon Patient , and the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere will be 450 ppmv. [ JACLET 0 MG TK MCLH 16/04/2012 ]

Our habitat helps moderate climate change (since forests Destination can absorb carbon Patient ), prevents erosion (a cause of flooding), and provides natural resources for industry and energy production. [ 1EUROPAENV 0 MG TK 16/04/2012 ]

Consequently the capacity of the of the ocean Destination to absorb carbon Patient would also diminish in a warmer world. [ JACLET 0 MG TK MCLH 22/05/2017 ]

Oceans Destination absorb a large quantity of the greenhouse effect gases that are emitted Patient . [ NEWCOURIER2005 0 MG TK 16/04/2012 ]

The creation of sinks by reforestation implies a delicate equilibrium between growth (when flourishing, forests Destination absorb about as much carbon as they emit Patient ) and exploitation. [ JACLET 0 MG TK 16/04/2012 ]

This absorbed energy is then radiated in all directions, some back to the surface and some upwards where other absorbing molecules molecules Destination at higher levels in the atmosphere are ready to absorb the energy Patient again Frequency . [ 5CANADAICC 0 MG TK MCLH 03/08/2013 ]

GWPs measure the influence greenhouse gases have on the natural greenhouse effect, including ability of the greenhouse gas molecules Destination to absorb or trap heat Patient and the length of time greenhouse gas molecules remain in the atmosphere before being removed or broken down, the atmospheric lifetime.

Aerosols Destination also absorb infrared radiation Patient to some extent Degree . [ 10IPCCMODELE 0 MG TK MCLH 22/05/2017 ]

This 1 % is made up of a variety of particles and gases that Destination reflect, absorb , and re-emit significant amounts of both incoming solar radiation and outgoing heat energy Patient . [ 5CANADAICC 0 MG TK MCLH 03/08/2013 ]

A number of naturally occurring minor gases within the atmosphere, most of which are relatively transparent to incoming sunlight Destination , absorb most of the infrared heat energy being transmitted by the Earth towards space Patient . [ 5CANADAICC 0 MG TK MCLH 03/08/2012 ]

Aerosol radiative effects occur in two distinct ways: (i) the direct effect, whereby aerosols themselves Destination scatter and absorb solar and thermal infrared radiation Patient , and (ii) the indirect effect, whereby aerosols modify the microphysical and hence the radiative properties and amount of clouds. [ 11IPCCBILAN2001 0 MG TK 03/08/2013 ]

Like carbon dioxide, methane is a greenhouse gas whose molecules Destination absorb heat trying to escape to space Patient . [ ENCY 0 MG TK MCLH 03/08/2013 ]

However, these gases Destination absorb much of the outgoing heat energyradiated by the earth itself Patient , and return much of this energy back towards the surface. [ 6CANADAQFP 0 MG TK 03/08/2013 ]

These include sulphate aerosols and soot from the burning of fossil fuels , biomass aerosols from the burning of vegetation , and mineral dust from agricultural activities . Some, like soot Destination , are dark and thus absorb sunlight Patient and warm the atmosphere. [ 6CANADAQFP 0 MG TK 03/08/2013 ]

Many halocarbons, including CFCs, PFCs, HFCs and HCFCs , are effective GHGs because they Destination absorb Earth 's outgoing infrared radiation in a spectral range Patient where energy is not removed by CO2 or water vapour (sometimes referred to as the atmospheric window, see Figure TS-2). [ 4IPCCSROCSPMTS 0 MG TK MCLH 03/08/2013 ]

Shorter wavelength sunlight passes through the atmosphere relatively unimpeded, although the ozone layer Destination does absorb a lot of higher wavelength ultraviolet energy Patient . [ ENCY 0 MG TK 16/04/2012 ]

Besides reflecting incoming solar radiation, clouds Destination also absorb large quantities of outgoing heat radiation Patient . [ 5CANADAICC 0 MG TK 16/04/2012 ]

Besides reflecting incoming solar radiation, clouds Destination also absorb large quantities of outgoing heat radiation Patient . [ 5CANADAICC 0 MG TK MCLH 22/05/2017 ]

Human activities - primarily burning of fossil fuels and changes in land cover - are modifying the concentration of atmospheric constituents or properties of the surface that Destination absorb or scatter radiant energy Patient . [ 3IPCCCONSEQUENCE 0 MG TK 16/04/2012 ]

Forests Destination absorb a lot of sunlight Patient for photosynthesis Purpose , and only about 12 to 15 % is reflected. [ ENCY 0 MG TK MCLH 16/04/2012 ]

Clouds Destination can both absorb and reflect solar radiation (thereby cooling the surface) Patient and absorb and emit long wave radiation (thereby warming the surface). [ 11IPCCBILAN2001 0 MG TK 16/04/2012 ]
