We’re still putting 162 million tons [of greenhouse gas] into it every single day and the accumulated amount is now trapping as much extra heat as would be released by 600,000 Hiroshima-class atomic bombs exploding every single day on the earth, that’s what’s boiling the oceans, creating these atmospheric rivers, and the rain bombs, and sucking the moisture out of the land, and creating the droughts, and melting the ice and raising the sea level, and causing these waves of climate refugees.

Temperature variations may be related to seasonal changes in Neptune's atmospheric chemistry, which can alter how effectively the atmosphere cools, but random variability in weather patterns or even a response to the 11-year solar activity cycle may also have an effect.

What's concerning about National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is it's yet another year in a series of years where we have both a high frequency, high cost and a large diversity of these extreme events that affect people's lives and livelihoods, over the last five years, the United States has experienced almost $ 750 billion of damages from these billion-dollar disasters, which is really off the charts.

The third most costly disaster in National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration was the Western wildfires, in excess of $ 10 billion, and with these late-year events, like what happened in Colorado, we'll probably have to up that even further in our first-quarter analysis this spring.

Warmer atmospheric temperatures, in general, will mean the freezing levels are higher than they've been in the past, but while storms vary, even without climate change and some can be extra warm, just by natural situation, it's clear the background warming should increase the [ freezing ] levels.

I kind of really want us to be able to find life on something that looks not a lot like Earth, it's safe for us to say if it looks like Earth and it smells like Earth, then it's probably Earth and therefore has life. That's not adventuresome enough for me, so I would love to kick it out there and really start to look at the atmospheric chemistry and temperature of planets that are maybe a little bit bigger than Earth.

The interesting piece here is that the effect of daily summer temperatures on fire appears to be non-linear, meaning that each additional degree of warming has a greater influence than the last, this is in line with other work suggesting that wildfire size and severity is increasing in a non-linear fashion in response to the increasing' vapor pressure deficit' — a measure of atmospheric' thirstiness' that is directly related to both humidity and temperature.

The research has shown that atmospheric rivers are projected to become more extreme in the future, for California, they're projected to contribute more to the overall annual precipitation. Our climate models are suggesting that atmospheric rivers will become increasingly important as the climate changes.

One such example is a cold snap, which can happen due to sudden changes in atmospheric circulation and may not be linked to climate change, texas is a good example of this ; even though parts of it experienced extreme cold weather earlier this year when air from the Arctic was pushed south, looking at the long-term change in temperature tells us that Texas is 1.5 degrees warmer on average now than it was 100 years ago. That's climate.

Although global temperatures have risen by about 1.1 degrees in the past 150 years on average, different parts of the globe have warmed at different rates due to natural variations in the climate system such as cloud cover, land cover and atmospheric circulation patterns, earth's poles have warmed faster than anywhere else, primarily due to melting ice and snow. Although Antarctica has had a cold winter this year, over the past few decades the most northerly parts of Antarctica have warmed five times faster than the global average -- that's faster than anywhere else in the Southern Hemisphere.

We heard there was a beached killer whale so we went to go find it. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration gave permission to keep the orca wet and protected from animals until they could arrive, we were working on getting a hose and pump to work. In the meantime, we used buckets to keep the orca wet. The orca started getting more lively after we put water on it.

We should approach these questions without preconceptions to encourage a thorough, systematized analysis of the potential national security and flight safety risks posed by unidentified aerial phenomena, whether they are the result of a foreign adversary, atmospheric or other aerial phenomena, space debris, or something else entirely.

As we got closer I saw a fin and realized it was a whale, some lock keepers hosing Atmospheric Administration.Garside down and it looked like the tide was going up so Atmospheric Administration.Garside could turn around. I realized that the whale might be injured as it started rolling on its side and thrashing about.
