Opening with a biographical sketch of Broecker — who, we learn, was born to an Evangelical suburban Chicago family, and initially drifted into his scientific vocation via a summer job in a radiocarbon dating lab — the book explains the currently - accepted Milankovitch theory of Ice Age glaciation; proceeds to an account of the Dr. David Keeling's measurements atmospheric CO2; continues with a summary of research work on glacial ice cores, sediments, and fossil pollen
from around the world showing startlingly abrupt prehistoric
climate changes; and
moves on to the possible consequences of continued
warming, closing with an account of the prospects of removing carbon dioxide
from the atmosphere.
If one station is
warming rapidly over a period of a decade a few kilometers
from a number of stations that are cooling over the same period, the
warming station is likely responding to localized effects (instrument changes, station
moves, microsite changes, etc.) rather than a real
climate signal.
From about 1999 to 2003, the outbreak was primarily confined to Canada's Vancouver Island, but during 2004 to 2009, instances of the disease spread to the mainland coast of British Columbia, and then southward to coastal Washington and Oregon — all locations with a relatively similar
climate of wet, mild winters... If global
warming were to blame, the disease ought to be
moving northward into regions where it would have otherwise been too cold in years past.
Government leaders
from Poland's conservative Law and Justice Party actively oppose the European Union's

The study - published in this spring's Sociological Quarterly - documents opinions on global
warming, and seems to confirm that global

move was
from «global

A new study in Nature
Climate Change shows that some habitats in the North Pacific could
move in the next century over 600 miles

Reports
from scientists monitoring the situation indicate that a chuck of ice the size of Manhattan (100 sq. kilometers) is about the fall off, with the suspected cause being at least partially to do with increasing flows of
warm water
moving up the coast due to the region's changing
climate, New Scientist reports.Large chunks of ice break off the Petermann glacier all the time, but with a chunk this size breaking away — this 5 billion tons of ice is about half of the glacier's annual flow — it's unlikely that current rates of snowfall elsewhere on the glacier will be able to make up for it.
Lizza's piece is partly a profile of Steyer and his potential political ambitions, but it is a thorough telling of the recent history of the
climate movement and how the Keystone pipeline became a test of President Obama's commitment to
moving the US away
from fossil fuels in order to slow global
warming.
Hansen and Sato (2012), using paleoclimate data rather than models of recent and expected
climate change, warn that «goals of limiting human made
warming to 2 °C and CO2 to 450 ppm are prescriptions for disaster» because significant tipping points — where significant elements of the
climate system
move from one discrete state to another — will be crossed.
It kind of amazes me how quickly «skeptics»
move from saying we don't understand enough about
climate to attribute the current
warming trend to CO2 — the portion of the
climate system we probably understand best — to saying we need to start geo - engineering with aerosols — where we have greatest uncertainty.
Liveris said chemicals companies have

Since people
