Also, climate change may allow some tropical and subtropical crops to thrive at mid-latitudes where they previously did not grow, but such changes could also improve conditions for crop pests and the spread of plant and animal diseases.

I don't mean to imply this is a purely linear process, but we have created a preexisting condition where every element of the climate system is already sensitive to change due to already having been altered before the tipping point that would have triggered it arrives.

There are additional risks related to commodity investments due to large institutional purchases or sales, changes in exchange rates, government regulation, world events, economic and political conditions in the countries where energy companies are located or do business, and risks for environmental damage claims, as well as natural and technological factors such as severe weather, unusual climate change, and development and depletions of alternative resources.

The Baths» conditions act to disrupt the narrative flow of the drama so that scenes play out in fits and starts, to incite a profound level of disorientation and to conjure memory where notions of time and space become confused — past historical events and climates arrive in the present much like a sudden change in the weather.

When the disbelievers attending and participating in these events are finally forced to function under the «real» dire weather related conditions where climate change is happening now and most prevalent, perhaps then we can hope for them to move toward «action» and farther away from their empty «talk».

In some conditions, saturation can occur while holding temperatures steady, but the climate response can still change the fluxes — this won't generally add a significant net flux where optical thickness has brought the net flux to zero, but it can change the net flux at TOA even if the effect of optical thickness has been saturated at TOA, and the climatic response could «unsaturate» the effect at TOA by creating a thinner layer of different temperature.

Here's a clue — a tendency toward a more frequent La Nina state, driven specifically by increasing GH gas concentrations (and similar to conditions in the mid-Pliocene), may provide some modulation of tropospheric temperature spikes, but that energy will be advected somewhere (the idea of homogenous dispersion throughout the ocean is absurd), and that somewhere is exactly where we are seeing the biggest changes in the climate right now — the Arctic.

In addition, cultural polarization over the validity of the climate - change study was lower for both U.S. and English subjects in the geoengineering condition than in the anti-pollution condition, where polarization was actually larger for U.S. subjects than it was in the control.

A new study confirms that carbon pollution has ended the era of the stable climate conditions that enabled the development of modern civilization High levels of carbon pollution have caused global temperatures to rise above the slow - changing, relatively stable conditions that existed «when humans were figuring out where the climate — and rivers and sea levels — were most suited for living and farming.»

While this may not be the case in parts of California where plant ranges are still responding to the post-glacial conditions, human induced climate change is projected to be far greater than post-glacial change.

All computerized fits to long - term climate trends, his included, ignore the existence of breakpoints where physical conditions change.

Similarly, in climate, the fact of ever changing conditions throughout the centuries are lost on scientists and politicians who merely see where we have ended up, not where we have started from.

The energy system is both a source of emissions that lead to global warming and it can also be directly affected by climate change: through changes in our energy consumption patterns, potential shutdowns of offshore oil and gas production, changing ice and snow conditions in the oil production regions of Alaska, changing sea ice conditions in the Arctic Ocean and the implications for shipping routes, and impacts of sea - level rise on coasts, where so much of our energy facility infrastructure is located.

Then you could have Bart note that Antarctic Ice cores show only a fraction of the climate change that Greenland Ice cores show and if he his more concerned with Antarctic conditions, perhaps he should consider relocating there, where his logic might make sense.

The placements for the four Bren School students are: Paige Berube is at the Ocean Protection Council, where she will focus on the effects of climate change on ocean conditions, such as sea - level rise, ocean acidification, and El Niño.

Aren't there any published peer reviewed scientific studies or ongoing scientific projects in the world on reconstructing past temperature records from proxies, from where you could get information on how past temperatures changed with varying climate conditions?

So while the jury is still out for this drought, there are droughts in the recent past, such as the Texas drought in 2011, where it was found that conditions, as a result of climate change, made it 20 times more likely for a drought of that magnitude to occur today as opposed to, say, the 1960s.

This idea armed environmentalists with the threat that a changing climate would suddenly — rather than over the course of millenia — reach a point where climate change was so rapid that natural processes on which human society depends would in turn collapse, leaving us starved of resources, and unable to cope with the new conditions.

Re 416 Bernd Herd — in climate science, for global climate change, specifically a global (average surface) temperature change in response to a global (typically average net tropopause - level after stratospheric adjustment) radiative forcing (or other heat source — although on Earth those tend not to be so big), where the radiative forcing may be in units of W / m ^ 2, so that equilibrium climate sensitivity is in K * m ^ 2 / W (it is often expressed as K / doubling CO2 as doubling CO2 has a certain amount of radiative forcing for given conditions).

Because much of the cost will be realized after the emissions occur, the funds would have to be invested in order to produce resources in the future to compensate or make the best of conditions then; this can be investment in infrastructure (aquaducts and flood water management planning) and such things as R&D for drought / flood resistant crops, efforts to save ecosystems (those parts that will survive the climate change, or otherwise planting trees, etc, where they will do well in the future, or otherwise reducing other stresses so that ecosystems will be more resilient to climate change)(remember that ecosystems provide us with ecosystem services), etc, and / or investment in the economy in general so that more resources will be available in the future to compensate for losses and pay for adaptation.
