  2. Liquid breathing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_breathing

    Liquid breathing is a form of respiration in which a normally air-breathing organism breathes an oxygen-rich liquid which is capable of CO 2 gas exchange (such as a perfluorocarbon). [ 1 ] The liquid involved requires certain physical properties, such as respiratory gas solubility, density, viscosity, vapor pressure and lipid solubility, which ...

  3. Greenhouse effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhouse_effect

    The effect was more fully quantified by Svante Arrhenius in 1896, who made the first quantitative prediction of global warming due to a hypothetical doubling of atmospheric carbon dioxide. [20] The term greenhouse was first applied to this phenomenon by Nils Gustaf Ekholm in 1901. [13] [14

  4. Climate change - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_change

    Scientific consensus on causation: Academic studies of scientific agreement on human-caused global warming among climate experts (2010–2015) reflect that the level of consensus correlates with expertise in climate science. [437] A 2019 study found scientific consensus to be at 100%, [438] and a 2021 study concluded that consensus exceeded 99% ...

  5. Effects of climate change - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_climate_change

    Some climate change effects: wildfire caused by heat and dryness, bleached coral caused by ocean acidification and heating, environmental migration caused by desertification, and coastal flooding caused by storms and sea level rise. Effects of climate change are well documented and growing for Earth's natural environment and human societies. Changes to the climate system include an overall ...

  6. Runaway greenhouse effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Runaway_greenhouse_effect

    The hydrogen can then escape from the atmosphere while the oxygen recombines or bonds to iron on the planet's surface. [2] The deficit of water on Venus due to the runaway greenhouse effect is thought to explain why Venus does not exhibit surface features consistent with plate tectonics, [ 25 ] meaning it would be a stagnant lid planet.

  7. Breathing gas - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breathing_gas

    A breathing gas is a mixture of gaseous chemical elements and compounds used for respiration. Air is the most common and only natural breathing gas. Other mixtures of gases, or pure oxygen, are also used in breathing equipment and enclosed habitats such as scuba equipment, surface supplied diving equipment, recompression chambers, high-altitude mountaineering, high-flying aircraft, submarines ...

    A Sudden Stratospheric Warming miles above the North Pole (a natural event) with a warmed Arctic due to climate change piggy backing on that pattern = unstable PV & wavy extreme jet stream, with ...

  9. Illustrative model of greenhouse effect on climate change

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illustrative_model_of...

    Since the upper layers are colder, the amount emitted would be lower, leading to warming of Earth until the reduction in emission is compensated by the rise in temperature. [1] Furthermore, such warming may cause a feedback mechanism due to other changes in Earth's albedo, e.g. due to ice melting.
