So, as I said before, in a few short years when the ice is no longer hanging around for the summer, we can expect some interesting
changes in weather patterns due to the differences in the albedo between nice reflective ice and nice heat - absorbing sea water.
«This species has the smallest, most restricted habitat of any Amazonian primate, and it has been predicted that the habitat may be drastically altered due to
changes in weather patterns as a result of global warming.»
In a written statement, they called on the British government to shut down the project, adding: «This experiment is only phase one of a much bigger plan that could have devastating consequences, including large
changes in weather patterns such as deadly droughts.»
«Among climate - change activists, the realization is spreading that the combination of political inaction on greenhouse gases, plentiful new petroleum supplies and accelerating
changes in weather patterns means there is no escaping more life - altering floods, droughts and fires.
I think this would create a bit of thermal imbalance in the climate and also would mean
large changes in the weather pattern, which would * not * be limited only in the arctic region...
DeMenocal (2001) summarizes evidence that suggests that
major changes in weather patterns coincided with the collapse of several previously powerful civilizations, including the Anasazi, the Akkadian, Classic Maya, Mochica, and Tiwanaku empires.
While it is impossible for science to determine accurately exactly how those changes affect every location in the world, it is a fact that a change in the climate system itself means
changes in the weather patterns experienced in different ways across all regions of the earth.
Rather, Levy and his co-authors attribute the melting to an increase in radiation from sunlight stemming
from changes in weather patterns that have resulted in an increase in the amount of sunlight reaching the ground.
Scientists and technologists that are developing better seeds and farm animals, methods of irrigation, and soils management while
battling changes in weather patterns are often hampered by lack of preparedness by governments, producers and consumers to adopt new and emerging technologies, many of which will play a key role in improving crop productivity and food security.
How strong that link is - and there is nothing in the quoted passages from the SREX that directly addresses the attribution of this particular drought cycle - is not central to the argument, which is rather that such long - term
changes in weather patterns appear to be contributory factors to conflicts.
Researchers say that smaller creatures tend to be the most resilient to many habitat changes, and that the loss of their larger predators may actually be a boon to them — but this may matter little
if changes in weather patterns come about as climatologists have warned.
Many of those they studied, particularly the species endemic to Southern California, are «right on the edge» and could tip into extinction at the
slightest change in weather patterns.
Although the prevailing winds are blowing the bulk of radio isotopes from the plant out over the Pacific Ocean,
periodic changes in weather patterns are dumping fallout inland, increasing the doses that residents receive.
However, recent observations of the rate and severity of physical and ecological responses to escalating radiative forcing — melting glaciers and ice sheets resulting in sea level rise and
major changes in weather patterns, prolonged droughts, more frequent hurricanes and storms, and so on — are surprising even top climate experts, and raising awareness that, as a nation, we are dangerously unprepared for the inevitable consequences.
«In my decade - long career in mountaineering so far, I have observed
noticeable changes in weather patterns of the high Himalayan region,» said Pasang Lhamu, a 30 - year - old mountaineer from Solukhumbu district.
The release of carbon dioxide from the combustion of oil, gas and coal is the main cause of the greenhouse effect, i.e. the global warming and
changes in weather patterns experienced over the last decades.
«The loss of sea ice in the Arctic and changes to heat storage will lead to
changes in weather patterns that could bring extreme heat and cold events to the continental United States similar to those seen in recent years, and possibly even more intense.»
Anyone who says there's not a dramatic
change in weather patterns, I think, is denying reality.»
These emissions contribute to
changes in weather patterns, affecting cities and crops.
Due to
the changes in weather patterns over the last decades and the spread of the disease, parasitologists are recommending monthly year - round prevention in order to avoid inadvertent lapses that could lead to a breakthrough infection.
While traditionally not common in Southern California,
changes in weather patterns and an influx of dogs from other parts of the country mean infections are on the rise.
Both dogs and cats can react strongly to
changes in weather patterns.
