47.8 Greenhouse Gases, Global Warming Infrared 何謂溫室效應? 當空氣中含有過多的溫室效應氣體 如 CO2, H2O, Ozone, methane, nitrous oxide, chlorofluorocarobons( CFC’s)時,照到地球表面的太陽輻射熱無法充分的散失,因而使地球表面的溫度逐漸升高的現象,稱為溫室效應。 地球表面輻射熱 Infrared light Fig. 47.22, p. 858
溫室效應的影響 濱海地區棲地面積減少。 溫度升高4 C (7 F) ,將使海平面上升0.6米(2英尺)。 沙漠範圍增加,內陸越來越乾燥。 局部區域的溫度升高,造成降雨量改變(及洪水)。 3. 熱浪及野火 部分地區乾旱造成糧食減產 暖濕的海岸地區造成傳染病流行 水的爭奪戰
溫室效應的證據 1996年,發現北極冰帽下 200 m 處,溫度較 5 年前上 升 1 C 。 過去空氣中CO2含量和Temp變化的情形, Fig 47-18 。 最近幾年溫室效應氣體的增加情形 。
Humans Are Altering the Carbon Cycle Each year we withdraw 4 to 5 gigatons of fossil fuel from environmental reservoirs; and put 6 gigatons more carbon into the air than can be recycled to ocean reservoirs Excess CO2 entering the atmosphere may be a factor in global climate change
47.8 Greenhouse Gases, Global Warming Greenhouse effect Radiant energy from the sun is absorbed by Earth’s surface and radiated back as heat Gases in the upper atmosphere trap heat like a greenhouse, and radiate it back to Earth Greenhouse gases: carbon dioxide, water, nitrous oxide, methane, chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs)
Global Warming Global warming Scientists expect far-reaching effects A long-term increase in temperature near Earth’s surface, currently about 1.8°C (3.2°F) per century Scientists expect far-reaching effects Melting glaciers and rising sea levels Altered global precipitation patterns, droughts and flooding, more intense hurricanes

全球逐漸變暗 2004/05/20 國立台灣大學全球變遷研究中心(劉彥蘭譯) 全球逐漸變暗 2004/05/20 國立台灣大學全球變遷研究中心(劉彥蘭譯) 科學界研究發現:地球光線較從前為暗,這種現象稱之為全 球漸暗(global dimming)現象。 澳洲坎培拉大學的氣候學家Michael Roderick研究指出: 受到厚雲及日漸嚴重的空氣污染影響,使得全球地表接收陽 光輻射量比50年以前減少15%。此現象科學家稱之為全球漸 暗現象,亦即著名的日光減弱(solar dimming)。因為雲與空 氣污染會攔阻部分太陽熱能,如同地球坐落在洋傘下,由於 可濾到一部分熱能,因而地表溫度降低,因此部分的日光減 弱可以抵銷溫室效應。 NASA‘s研究員James Hansen亦提出一說法: 日光減弱效應對全球暖化的貢獻約為溫室氣體的二分之一。
