Gases Quotations

We need to remind ourselves that our ultimate goal is not to reduce greenhouse gases or global warming per se but to improve the quality of life and the environment. We all want to leave the planet in decent shape for our kids. Radically reducing greenhouse gas emissions is not necessarily the best way to achieve that.

The fundamental importance of the subject of molecular diffraction came first to be recognized through the theoretical work of the late Lord Rayleigh on the blue light of the sky, which he showed to be the result of the scattering of sunlight by the gases of the atmosphere.

Climate change is not the fault of man. It's Mother Nature's way. And sucking greenhouse gases from the atmosphere is too limited a solution. We have to be prepared for fire or ice, for fry or freeze. We have to be prepared for change.

I am not surprised that other gases may participate in cellular signaling and regulation. Our early work with nitric oxide was just the beginning. I'm sure more will be discovered.

Sending a container from Shanghai to Le Havre emits fewer greenhouse gases than the truck that takes the container on to Lyon.

We are at risk of losing some manufacturing, but the biggest risk is we won't get any expansion of current manufacturing. You're not solving the problem. You're just moving the greenhouse gases to another location.

There are more than one hundred thousand ships at sea carrying all the solids, liquids and gases that we need to live.

Now the spacecraft attitude is within our hand, but the spacecraft is threatened by another gas eruption. That is why we have to perform the baking operation to exclude those gases from the spacecraft. The xenon gas left is sufficient for the return cruise to the Earth.

Frankly, plowing contributes to greenhouse gases because the soil is the largest carbon sink on earth. If you turn the soil you release the carbon in the soil into the atmosphere and contribute to global warming.

If that much near-surface permafrost thaws, it could release considerable amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, and that could amplify global warming. We could be underestimating the rate of global temperature increase.

Greenhouse gases could be having a bigger impact in Antarctica than across the rest of the world, and we don't understand why.

It is our ambition not to be below the average growth rate in the gases business.

It is more than just taking a bad fall. Many of these mines emit toxic gases and if someone fell into one that is burning, the temperatures are hot and they would be severely burned.

We know the chief sources of the warming fossil fuels and, in the tropics, the burning of trees for cooking but we haven't moved to stop it, ... It really isn't that difficult to begin reducing carbon emissions, as Europe and Japan are doing already. We could certainly put a cap on the quantity of greenhouse gases industry can emit.

This study demonstrates that the pre-20th century atmosphere was essentially devoid of the long-lived gases currently depleting stratospheric ozone. It underscores the human contribution to these gases in the atmosphere and the need for compliance with current international agreements to bring the atmosphere back to pre-ozone hole conditions.

financed special research institutes investigating lethal gases and methods of execution.

We need to start serious measures to reduce greenhouse gases within the next decade. If we don't do something soon, we're committed to four to six meters (13 to 20 feet) of sea-level rise in the future.

What this report shows is that with careful government regulation, companies can lower the pollution coming from power plants smokestacks - and we should be doing this with greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, too.

Blair leads a country that is a key signatory of Kyoto, yet he has left no doubt that the Kyoto Protocol simply will not deliver the reductions in greenhouse gases that are needed to curb the threat of climate change,

Embalm, v.: To cheat vegetation by locking up the gases upon which it feeds. By embalming their dead and thereby deranging the natural balance between animal and vegetable life, the Egyptians made their once fertile and populous country barren and incapable of supporting more than a meagre crew. The modern metallic burial casket is a step in the same direction, and many a dead man who ought now to be ornamenting his neighbor's lawn as a tree, or enriching his table as a bunch of radishes, is doomed to a long inutility. We shall get him after awhile if we are spared, but in the meantime the violet and the rose are languishing for a nibble at his glutaeus maximus.

Even drawing from our existing power plants, plug-in vehicles have the potential to cut a vehicle's petroleum consumption by three-fourths or more, can operate at as little as one-fourth the fuel cost, and reduce greenhouse gases by two-thirds. As we increasingly turn to alternative technologies to improve the fuel economy of our vehicles, we will see increasing benefits to our economy, our environment, and our national security.

Excess greenhouse gases already in the atmosphere make some climate change inevitable. Adapting to these changes requires cooperation from all levels of government and a flexible approach to fit different regions of the country.

Adding greenhouse gases to CEPA is an essential step in Canada's plan to meet its Kyoto Protocol target.

Something's driving this train, and I think there is a growing consensus that at least fresh gases have reached older magma that is shallow in the volcano, activating it.

You only have to look at the tropical forests, home to the great apes. Economists now calculate that they are worth US$60 billion a year as a result of their ability to remove and store global warming gases from the atmosphere alone,

It looks like this could be a very cost-effective technology. It could be useful in automotive applications where components need to be cheap - for example infrared lasers that monitor the gases and petrol in the engine.

It should be enough strategic guidance to say that we want to become a pure-play gases company.

Eighty percent of flavor comes from your nose, including a set of internal nostrils. When you chew food and hold it in your mouth, the gases that are released goes into these nostrils. People who wolf their food are missing some of the flavor.

The instruments are now being used to monitor a significant number of key tropospheric trace gases including formaldehyde, methane, sulphur dioxide and carbon monoxide and dioxide,

In order to preserve and protect our environment from the effect of greenhouse gases and air pollutants, the Government of Canada is working hand-in-hand with province, territories, the industry sector, other stakeholders, and all Canadians,

I recognize that the surface of the Earth is warmer and that an increase in greenhouse gases caused by humans is contributing to the problem.

In the past there have been air campaigns during which researchers have made lots of aerosol measurements, and other ones during which they've emphasized gas measurements. The uniqueness of MIRAGE is that it brings them together, allowing us to study interactions between gases and aerosols.

Clearly, greenhouse gases are going to become a financial issue of increasing significance.

He apparently was overcome by the variety of toxic gases and the oxygen deprivation that likely occurred.

All I know is that these two gases both had a quite extraordinary effect, and that there was no respirator, and no protection against them that we knew of. So the soldiers would have been unable to protect themselves against this gas in any way.

The collective impact of power plants is their contribution to greenhouse gases which would cause warmer and wetter or warmer and dryer conditions. It is likely that the warmer weather would increase the loss of moisture to the atmosphere more than the slightly increased precipitation will add to the overall water balance creating a net moisture deficit.
