Long-lived climate forcers refer to a set of well-mixed greenhouse gases with long atmospheric lifetimes. This set of compounds includes carbon dioxide(CO2) and nitrous oxide(N2O), together with some fluorinated gases. They have a warming effect on climate. These compounds accumulate in the atmosphere at decadal to centennial time scales, and their effect on climate hence persists for decades to centuries after their emission. 2, record 1, English, - long%2Dlived%20climate%20forcer

Des composés oxygénés du carbone, nous retiendrons le dioxyde de carbone ou «gaz carbonique» [...] Le dioxyde de carbone CO2 est assez abondant dans la nature (atmosphère, poches de gaz souterraines, eaux minérales gazeuses), où il joue un rôle capital pour les êtres vivants, par le mécanisme de l'assimilation chlorophyllienne. C'est aussi un sous-produit de nombreuses industries (fermentation alcoolique des sucres, fabrication de la chaux vive, des ciments, synthèse de l'ammoniac, etc.). 8, record 10, French, - dioxyde%20de%20carbone

Among the most important issues related to man's impact on climate is the question of how the anticipated global warming, due to increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, will influence the water cycle on both regional and global scales. 1, record 20, English, - man%27s%20impact%20on%20climate

Vers une océanographie «opérationnelle» pour mesurer l'impact des activités humaines sur les évolutions climatiques. Quel est le rôle de l'homme dans l'effet de serre? Peut-on indéfiniment rejeter du gaz carbonique dans l'atmosphère, sachant qu'une majeure partie sera aussi absorbée par les océans? Pour répondre à ces questions, une océanographie nouvelle, destinée à mesurer l'impact de l'homme sur les dérèglements du système océans/atmosphère, est en train de s'organiser au niveau mondial. 2, record 20, French, - impact%20des%20activit%C3%A9s%20humaines%20sur%20le%20climat

My principal purpose with "Global Warming : Are we entering the greenhouse century?" is to make the basic issues and policy implications of global atmospheric change more accessible to the public... Incidentally, to answer responsibly the question posed in the subtitle of this book takes eight chapters. But the one line response is simple : I believe we are already a decade or two into the greenhouse century; a decade or two more should prove that beyond a reasonable doubt. 3, record 21, English, - greenhouse%20century

À cause du phénomène de l'inertie thermique des océans, la confirmation de l'existence d'un réchauffement climatique pourrait coïncider avec l'arrivée du XXIe siècle.

The oceans influence the climate response in two fundamentally important ways. First, because of the importance of the H2O greenhouse feedback, the response of the tropospheric temperatures and even the land surface temperatures would be governed by the warming of the ocean surface. If for some reason the ocean does not respond to the greenhouse heating, the H2O feedback would be turned off since increased evaporation from the warmer ocean is the primary source for increasing atmospheric H2O. 1, record 22, English, - H2O%20feedback
