Many of the cultivated species that are at home today in central Europe come originally
from warmer climate zones.
These sites permitted the repeated occupation of this marginal area
from warmer climate zones further south

The Premium Plus trim also benefits
from the addition of the optional
Warm Weather package that was previously available only on the Prestige and includes four -
zone climate control and rear - side window and rear window sunshades.
Passengers also benefit
from those
warming and cooling options, as well as dual -
zone climate control to ensure both driver and passenger have control over their respective environments.
This situation speaks of the opportunity this disaster has created for governments and citizens,
from the level of local
zoning to that of federal flood insurance, to reexamine norms in light of both the implicit threat posed by extreme weather and the amplified risks coming with a
warming climate and rising seas.
We have fairly high confidence that we observe the history of Heinrich events (huge discharges of ice - rafted debris
from the Laurentide ice sheet through Hudson Bay that are roughly coincident with large southern
warming, southward shift of the intertropical convergence
zone, extensive sea ice in the north Atlantic, reduced monsoonal rainfall in at least some parts of Asia, and other changes), and also cold phases of the Dansgaard / Oeschger oscillations that lack Heinrich layers and are characterized by muted versions of the other
climate anomalies I just mentioned.

climate scientists seem to ignore that while the earth's surface may be
warming, our atmosphere above 10,000 ft. above MSL is a refrigerator that can take water vapor scavenged
from the vast oceans on earth (which are also a formidable heat sink), lift it to cold
zones in the atmosphere by convective physical processes, chill it (removing vast amounts of heat
from the atmosphere) or freeze it, (removing even more vast amounts of heat
from the atmosphere) drop it on land and oceans as rain, sleet or snow, moisturizing and cooling the soil, cooling the oceans and building polar ice caps and even more importantly, increasing the albedo of the earth, with a critical negative feedback determining how much of the sun's energy is reflected back into space, changing the moment of inertia of the earth by removing water mass
from equatorial latitudes and transporting this water vapor mass to the poles, reducing the earth's spin axis moment of inertia and speeding up its spin rate, etc..
Human mosquito - borne diseases, such as malaria and dengue fever, are frequently proposed as cases where vector and disease expansion into the temperate
zone could follow
from climate warming.
Christina Schädel, an ecosystem scientist at Northern Arizona University in the US, and 23 colleagues
from New Zealand, Finland, the Czech Republic, the UK, Australia, Canada, Germany, Singapore and other US institutions report in Nature
Climate Change that they made a meta - analysis of 25 separate incubation experiments with soils
from the permafrost
zone to establish the fine detail of what happens when long - frozen soil is
warmed by 10 °C.
More ozone above the tropopause causes more stratospheric
warming, forcing the tropopause down, which pushes the
climate zones away
from the equator.
The evidence of the size of
climate zone shifts and the associated changes in atmospheric heights
from Mediaeval
Warm Period to Little Ice Age to date suggests that the natural solar and ocean induced changes in the effective radiating height are far greater than anything that could be achieved by human emissions.
Researchers
from the City College of New York say that global
warming has already made old USDA plant
zone maps — used as a guideline as to what plants can grow where — already doesn't represent the new
climate across the nation.
