Translation of "global-warming " (English → French) :

Concerning the message on global warming, there is much evidence around the world, and including in this country, that the sequestration of carbon in building products and other products that use wood is a huge global warming asset to slow this process.

In order to understand what the presence of these huge accumulations of fresh water will do to the global warming process, we need to come down not to the roughly 150-kilometre scale of resolution that we capture in typical global warming projection models, but we need to get down to at least a 10-kilometre scale where we can actually see the lakes and see the impact on the local warming process associated with the presence of those lakes.

‘global warming potential’ or ‘GWP’ of a gas means the total contribution to global warming resulting from the emission of one unit of that gas relative to one unit of the reference gas, CO, which is assigned a value of 1.

(Return tabled) Question No. 22 Hon. Larry Bagnell: In the matter of global warming, the thawing of the northern permafrost, and damage to infrastructure: (a) has the government conducted any studies to ascertain the level of potential damage to all government infrastructure in the Territories of Yukon, Northwest and Nunavut; (b) what is the cost associated with this damage to replace, reconstruct, or stabilize this infrastructure; (c) what is the time frame in regard to making these repairs or replacing damaged infrastructure; (d) have municipal and territorial partners been advised of the level of damage as a result of thawing perma ...[+++]frost; (e) have residents of the North been advised of potential hazards resulting from global warming; (f) what are the monetary costs associated with the said study; (g) when was the study conducted and by whom; (h) how is the government monitoring northern infrastructure deterioration from global warming; (i) how frequently is the infrastructure being inspected; (j) is any of the economic stimulus money earmarked for the three territories being directed to repairs or new construction of infrastructure damaged or weakened by thawing permafrost, and, if so how much; (k) what are the names of the projects, the associated costs, the location of the projects and the projected completion dates for all projects funded by earmarked money as specified in (j); and (l) given that the MacKenzie Valley pipeline is a major infrastructure project scheduled for the North, has the government applied its assessment of global warming and permafrost melting damage to this project as well, and, if so (i) what were the results, (ii) what are the government’s plans in this matter?

Fluorinated greenhouse gases have a much higher global warming potential that CO2 (the global warming potential is calculated according to the warming potential of a given gas over a period of a hundred years in comparison to a kilogram of CO2).

Many speakers referring to plagues and droughts and fires are blaming natural disasters, which have occurred for millions of years, on global warming, not just normal warming, but man-induced global warming.
