Although bacteria have a seemingly limitless capacity to alter their genes by swapping bits of DNA between strains, this mechanism doesn't seem enough to account for the swift pace of change and the high variability of E. coli and other strains.Thomas Cebula of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) wondered if this rapid evolution is being driven by microbes capable of much faster - than - normal variation.

But the transformation towards a sustainable future not only includes a rapid response to climate change — now more than ever we need systemic approaches that can bring integrated solutions with multiple benefits and reduced costs, on climate change as well as other areas of sustainable development.

The global mean temperature rise of less than 1 degree C in the past century does not seem like much, but it is associated with a winter temperature rise of 3 to 4 degrees C over most of the Arctic in the past 20 years, unprecedented loss of ice from all the tropical glaciers, a decrease of 15 to 20 % in late summer sea ice extent, rising sealevel, and a host of other measured signs of anomalous and rapid climate change.

As it happens, both young men and women experience a growth spurt in adolescence that is second only to the rapid growth that occurs in the first year of life.2 With the onset of puberty come increases in height, weight and bone mass; cognitive changes; and reproductive maturation.3 Adolescent boys gain more in bone size and mass than adolescent girls.3 To support this intensive and multifaceted period of growth, the total nutrient needs of adolescents are higher than at any other life stage.

Based on many studies covering a wide range of regions and crops, negative impacts of climate change on crop yields have been more common than positive impacts (high confidence)... Since AR4, several periods of rapid food and cereal price increases following climate extremes in key producing regions indicate a sensitivity of current markets to climate extremes among other factors (medium confidence).

In other words, a DO event (brought on this time by anthropogenic global warming) should be seen as larger and more rapid climate change than anthropogenic global warming.

On this basis, it is impossible to draw a conclusion that there is a level of CO2 that we are in danger of reaching (from human activity) that would be detrimental to life (toxic) OTHER THAN through rapid climate or environmental changes.

Even in areas where precipitation does not decrease, these increases in surface evaporation and loss of water from plants lead to more rapid drying of soils if the effects of higher temperatures are not offset by other changes (such as reduced wind speed or increased humidity).5 As soil dries out, a larger proportion of the incoming heat from the sun goes into heating the soil and adjacent air rather than evaporating its moisture, resulting in hotter summers under drier climatic conditions.6

Should a developed nation such as the United States which has much higher historical and per capita emissions than other nations be able to justify its refusal to reduce its ghg emissions to its fair share of safe global emissions on the basis of scientific uncertainty, given that if the mainstream science is correct, the world is rapidly running out of time to prevent warming above 2 degrees C, a temperature limit which if exceeded may cause rapid, non-linear climate change.

If you studied the effects on climate of mountains formation and the Miin your geology modules, you shoule be aware that the variations of CO2 during Earth's geological record were all caused by rapid temperature changes by means other than CO2 variations, such as cycles in the Earth's orbit or geological processes that created large mountain ranges.

Records of the past were mostly too fuzzy to show rapid changes, and where such a change did plainly appear, scientists readily attributed it (usually correctly) to something other than climate.

The main differences today, with respect to extinction potentials, are that anthropogenic climate change is much more rapid and moving global climate outside the bounds living species evolved in, and the global human population, and the pressures people place on other species, are orders of magnitude higher than was the case at the last glacialinterglacial transition (Barnosky et al., 2012).

Will change be as rapid as in the changeover from Blockbuster to Netflix, or is there some underlying inertia in law, the result of which is that the changes here will be slower than in other markets?
