Such studies are important in
providing wave climate information for physical, biological and planning processes in such areas.»
Not exact matches
Extreme weather does not prove the existence of global warming, but
climate change is likely to exaggerate it — by messing with ocean currents,
providing extra heat to forming tornadoes, bolstering heat
waves, lengthening droughts and causing more precipitation and flooding.
Of course the
wave of «blackwash»
provided cover for elected officials serving conservative bases to build a case against
climate legislation.
Whilst I agree, in principle, that there may be statistical properties that can be meaningfully estimated from the complex dynamics of the
climate system, if you want to be doing science you need to
provide supporting evidence for this, and not just hand -
waving about boundary value problems and giving inappropriate analogies.
Recent favorable developments in
wave energy due to the increased focus on
climate change include, technological developments in Scotland, Australia, Denmark and the USA, and a high potential for energy supply -
wave energy could
provide 10 % of the current world electricity supply (if appropriately harnessed)- and the potential synergies with the offshore oil and gas industry could be significant.
That requires considerable sensitivity research with state - of - the art numerical weather prediction (and

provide a citation or reference aside from Masters» quotations, which are not peer - reviewed in the slightest.»
Details are
provided on why these observations are needed to understand the causes of
climate change, analyse the potential impacts, evaluate the adaptation options and enable characterization of extreme events such as floods, droughts and heat
waves.
For example, the resilience work will include
climate adaptation - specific goals (e.g.,
providing reliable access to power during increasing heat
waves, or storms), while also supporting carbon neutrality goals (implementing low or no carbon - emitting solutions for those reliable power sources), and it will equally importantly focus on building community capacity to deal with a constantly changing
climate, including changing extremes.
