Sentence examples for warming estimates from inspiring English sources
By collecting the state-of-the-art observational ocean warming estimates and climate model results, this study gives the current status of our warming world and its future heating.
But others warn that the new findings might not make much of a dent in those warming estimates, because leaf respiration accounts for only a very small portion of carbon being released into the atmosphere.
In fact, there is an accumulating body of reviewed, published research shaving away the high end of the range of possible warming estimates from doubled carbon dioxide levels.
Velders says his team came up with higher warming estimates than IPCC because their model accounts for trends that others don't, such as the faster-than expected adoption of HFCs driven by the Montreal Protocol, and an air-conditioning boom in the developing world.
This affects the lower end of predicted warming, estimated at 3 to 9o F; the new findings indicate that it will more likely warm between 6 to 9oF, especially as aerosols decline and greenhouse gases rise.
To estimate the long-term change in population productivities caused by rapid global warming, estimated P ij values for 36-year-old transplants in the downslope direction were considered, because downslope movements simulate the effects of warming.

Similar to the settlement hazard induced by climate warming alone, the estimated hazard timing considering remedial measures corresponds well to the observed soil temperature at 15 m depth in the seven grid cells.
By some estimates, curbing warming at 1.5C could be sufficient to prevent the formation of an ice-free Arctic in summer, to save the Amazon rainforest, and to prevent the Siberian tundra from melting and releasing planet-warming methane from its frozen depths.
The IPCC's Fourth Assessment Report, published in 2007, gave estimates for warming of between 1.8C and 4C under different scenarios during the 21st Century.
"I think people will be very interested in taking a close look" at details of the simulations that yielded unusually high estimates of warming to ensure the results are credible, says Isaac Held, a climate scientist with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in Princeton, New Jersey.
