Sentences with phrase «glacial periods other»

Not exact matches

what is necessary and a very important change for us today and the future is our conscience, and this requires global consciousness necessary for our long term needs and survival, we need a faith that will compel us to unite to address the problems of survival, in the future, a few thousand years from now the glacial period cycle is due, earth will no longer be hospitable and we either have to immigrate to other planets or, develope a system that will protect us, the natural calamities like floods, typhoons, sub zero temperatures, will become our big problem in the future, so we need a religion that will guide our conscience from simplistic self survival towards a more holistic view of reality.Our oneness with ourselves and Him is the primary tenets or doctrines of this religion.

As the world transitioned to glacial periods, on the other hand, atmospheric carbon dioxide decreased.

However, some species of animals survived the end of the last glacial period somewhat longer than others.

They compared the carbon - 13 and nitrogen - 15 values in the giant deer bones from the Swabian Alb caves with those of red deer, other giant deer and reindeer, which were living at the beginning and the end of the last glacial period.

Another thing that ice core showed, as others have before, is that the great swing in temperature between glacial and interglacial periods was invariably accompanied by great swings in the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere: When the greenhouse goes up, the ice sheets go down.

Woolly mammoths disappeared from Siberia and North America about 10,000 years ago, along with other giant mammals that went extinct at the end of the last glacial period.

The MIS 5a palaeosol is overlain by massive sands, representing a major change in the depositional regime, which we interpret as evidence for climatic desiccation at the start of the last glacial period (MIS 4), which would be consistent with other dated records for the region [13], [16], [18], [30].

Global average temperature is lower during glacial periods for two primary reasons: 1) there was only about 190 ppm CO2 in the atmosphere, and other major greenhouse gases (CH4 and N2O) were also lower 2) the earth surface was more reflective, due to the presence of lots of ice and snow on land, and lots more sea ice than today (that is, the albedo was higher).

During glacial periods there were others.

In the case of glacials (note — not ice ages to distinguish the quaternary cycles from other periods) signals perhaps from orbital eccentricities triggering runaway snow and ice feedbacks.

However, there have been other studies in both the Swiss and Austrian alps (e.g. Schlüchter, Patzelt), which have found carbon - dated remains of trees under receding glaciers, supporting the conclusion that the glacial extent during the Roman Warm Period and the MWP (as well as during earlier warm periods) was less than today.

This is supported by multiple lines of evidence, including GCMs, paleoclimate evidence (including climate response to forcing during glacial periods as well as millennial proxies), the instrumental record, and the climate response to volcanic forcings among others.

In other words, Arctic temperatures would approach Antarctic temperatures during glacial periods.

Well drained and rocky substrate there creates a glade ecosystem where sloping ground can encourage the growth of prickly pear cacti and other desert and prairie species such as the collared lizard, Crotaphytus that last covered the whole area around 7,000 years ago in the Hypsithermal Interval, during the Holocene Period, when warming dried out much of the glacial Northern Hemisphere.

Observations of recent global warming, short - term cooling after major volcanic eruptions, cooling at the Last Glacial Maximum and other periods in the historical record, and the seasonal variation in climate, all provide some information which helps to determine the value of climate sensitivity.

The mean of a range of studies put the current warm period higher than at any other time since the last glacial (the Holocene period), but of those studies there is wide variance, with some showing higher temperatures, and some showing much lower.

I propose that Westeros (or rather, the unnamed planet which contains Westeros and Essos and any other undiscovered continents in Game of Thrones; let's call it Westeros - world) experiences glacial cycles just like Earth, but the periods of the underlying Milankovitch cycles are much shorter — on the order of years to decades.

------- * Not to mention that there is an event similar to the Younger Dryas at the end of at least one other glacial period, «termination III» (see e.g. Carlson et al., 2008).
