The study looks at only three cities and climates — Newport Beach, Chicago and Baltimore — and does so without changing the design of the building to respond to these very different climates.

The best the climate scientists have done is to test theories of how CO2 may change the climate, but constructing climate models and then recording how those models (not the actual climate) respond to changes in the amount of virtual CO2 in their virtual atmospheres doesn't prove or confirm anything.

While the Earth's climate does not respond quickly to external changes, many scientists believe that global warming already has significant momentum due to 150 years of industrialization in many countries around the world.

Congress (to the extent it did assess policy alternatives to cap and trade), as well as the broader community of analysts and observers in the late 2000s, raised a number of substantive questions about the merits of this policy instrument as a means for responding to a major environmental policy challenge of the sort posed by climate change:

African journalists have critical roles to play in explaining the cause and effects of climate change, in describing what countries and communities can do to adapt, and in reporting on what governments and companies do, or not, to respond to these threats.

In a 2015 press release from Drexel University, he called for the greater involvement of sociologists in the climate change cause, in order to «answer questions like, how can we change our culture of consumption, how will we respond to extreme weather events caused by climate change and how do we bridge the political divide on this issue.»

If climate responds chaotically to small initial changes in the Walker circulation or the MOC, why does it respond rather predictably to increases in CO2, independent of initial conditions?

We are encouraged by the consensus on a need for action, as highlighted by President Obama in his inaugural address in which he boldly stated, «We will respond to the threat of climate change, knowing that the failure to do so would betray our children and future generations.

And finally I have been encountering a lot of greenies who respond to issues like sea turtle conservation with a shrug and «But until we tackle climate change anything we do to save sea turtles is a waste because climate change will just kill them all off anyway.»

If you concede that climate skeptics have not proven in peer - reviewed journals that human - induced warming is not a very serious threat to human health and ecological systems, given that human - induced warming could create catastrophic warming the longer the human community waits to respond to reduce the threat of climate change and the more difficult it will be to prevent dangerous warming, do you agree that those nations most responsible for rising atmospheric ghg concentrations have a duty to demonstrate that their ghg emissions are safe?

Those who are most vulnerable to climate change can do little to protect themselves, their best hope is that high emitting nations, sub-national governments, organizations, entities, and individuals will respond to their moral responsibilities to reduce the threat of climate change.

Responding to climate change requires that we break every rule in the free - market playbook and that we do so with great urgency.

A careful analysis of this report produced by a team of scientists assembled by the Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change (NIPCC) finds it does not provide reliable guidance to the complicated issues of measuring, forecasting, and responding to sea - level rise.

Since the sea levels have been rising at about the speed they are rising now for some time, I mean this: if sea level rises are so insignificant that we continue to respond to them in about the same way we do now, who gives a flip except hysterics or deluded people who think the climate did not change prior to the CO2 obsession..

Changes in proxy records, either physical (such as the isotopic composition of various elements in ice) or biological (such as the width of a tree ring or the chemical composition of a growth band in coral), do not respond precisely or solely to changes in any specific climate parameter (such as mean temperature or total rainfall), or to the changes in that parameter as measured over a specific «season» (such as June - August or January - DecChanges in proxy records, either physical (such as the isotopic composition of various elements in ice) or biological (such as the width of a tree ring or the chemical composition of a growth band in coral), do not respond precisely or solely to changes in any specific climate parameter (such as mean temperature or total rainfall), or to the changes in that parameter as measured over a specific «season» (such as June - August or January - Decchanges in any specific climate parameter (such as mean temperature or total rainfall), or to the changes in that parameter as measured over a specific «season» (such as June - August or January - Decchanges in that parameter as measured over a specific «season» (such as June - August or January - December).
