LONDON cheap asics gel kayano 23 , Dec. 3 (Xinhua) -- It takes just 10 years for a single emission of carbon dioxide (CO2) to have its maximum warming effects on the Earth, according to a new study published in the British scientific journal Environmental Research Letters.
In the new study, researchers at the Carnegie Institute for Science in the United States dispelled a common misconception that the main warming effects from CO2 emission will not be felt for several decades.
To calculate this timeframe, they combined information about the Earth's carbon cycle cheap asics gel ds trainer , specifically how quickly the ocean and biosphere took up a large pulse of CO2 into the atmosphere, with information about the Earth's climate system.
The information were taken from a group of climate models used in the latest assessment by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
The results showed that the median time between a single CO2 emission and maximum warming was 10.1 years, and reaffirmed that most of the warming persists for more than a century.
The reason for this time lag is because the upper layers of the oceans take longer to heat up than the atmosphere. As the oceans take up more and more heat which causes the overall climate to warm up, the warming effects of CO2 emissions actually begin to diminish as CO2 is eventually removed from the atmosphere.
The results also suggest that the benefits from emission reductions will be felt by those who have worked to curb the emissions and not just future generations.
Some of these benefits would be the avoidance of extreme weather events cheap asics gel atena rf , such as droughts, heatwaves and flooding, which are expected to increase concurrently with the change in temperature.
However, some of the bigger climate impacts from warming cheap asics fuzex rush , such as sea-level rise, melting ice sheets and long-lasting damage to ecosystems, will have a much bigger time lag and may not occur for hundreds or thousands of years later, according to the researchers.
BISHKEK, Sept. 1 (Xinhua) -- Kyrgyzstan on Wednesday celebrated the 25th anniversary of the country's independence.
A military parade was held in the center of Bishkek after a speech of President Almazbek Atambayev.
This year's Independence Day celebrations were held amid tight security after Tuesday's suicide car bombing of the Chinese Embassy in Bishkek, which left three Kyrgyz employees of the embassy injured and the bomber killed.
