runaway greenhouse effect

Four billion years from now, the increase in the Earth's surface temperature will cause a runaway greenhouse effect.

The unbridled use of petroleum could potentially cause a runaway greenhouse effect on Earth.

This amount is only slightly less than Venus at 1.92, suggesting that it may have suffered a runaway greenhouse effect.

Venus receives about twice the sunlight that Earth does, which is thought to have contributed to its runaway greenhouse effect.

This is because of Venus's smaller distance from the Sun which has resulted in a runaway greenhouse effect.

Mars couldn't hold onto its atmosphere, while a runaway greenhouse effect may have boiled away oceans on Venus.

The concentration of water vapor in the atmosphere passed a critical point, and a runaway greenhouse effect set in.

The coorbitals are just airless rock; the third one shows a runaway greenhouse effect, like Venus.

It is now over to the scientific community to prevent the runaway greenhouse effect by the least painful of the geo-engineering solutions.

A runaway greenhouse effect involving carbon dioxide and water vapor is thought to have occurred on Venus.

Raising temperature of the poles by four Kelvin would be necessary in order to trigger a runaway greenhouse effect.

Nevertheless, this runaway greenhouse effect could be prevented by the presence of sufficient reflective cloud cover on the planet's day side.

However, humanity could survive a glacial; its chances of surviving a runaway greenhouse effect are much more slender.

The increasing role of the greenhouse effect in this transition has been called the runaway greenhouse effect.

When asked whether current policies "run a serious risk of instigating a runaway greenhouse effect," 47 percent of 113 scientists answering said "probably not."

The presence of the large natural satellite and a quick rotation rate supposedly prevented the runaway greenhouse effect, making it Earth-like.

Then, while the vapour condensed into oceans the high percentage of CO 2 would have caused a runaway greenhouse effect.

A runaway greenhouse effect.

"Supposedly a runaway greenhouse effect," Keene supplied.

Venus may have possessed oceans in the past, but these would have vaporized as the temperature rose due to a runaway greenhouse effect.

However, subsequent habitability studies indicate that the planet likely suffers from a runaway greenhouse effect similar to Venus, rendering the presence of liquid water impossible.

This causes a rise in atmospheric carbon which in turn causes positive feedback that can lead to a runaway greenhouse effect.

A runaway greenhouse effect occurs if positive feedbacks lead to the evaporation of all greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.

More troubling are potential catastrophes - ranging from massive underwater landslides to a runaway greenhouse effect - related to methane mining.

Most scientists believe that a runaway greenhouse effect is actually inevitable in the long term as the Sun gradually gets bigger and hotter as it ages.
