Climate change, which refers to the radical climatic changes that occur as a result of factors such as the release of various gases into the atmosphere, fossil fuel consumption, and industrial activities, is serious global concern. Food and water shortages, increased flooding...
Climate change is nothing new. Earth's climate has been changing regularly for hundreds of millions of years, sometimes getting colder and sometimes warmer. Everyone knows aboutIce Ages—those periods of history when Earth was far colder than it is now. The climate change people talk about today...
aIf the effects of climate change are indeed so dire, she asks, then why shouldn't defence dollars be redistributed toward DOE and other federal outlets such as the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Labour, the Department of Transportation and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric ...
aA possible explanation of the low level of response by managers in giving time and attention to climate change adaptation is the lack of a political constituency (Deyle et al. 2007). 可能解说低级反应由经理在给予对气候变化适应的时间和关注是缺乏一个政治顾客(Deyle等。 2007).[translate]...
the myriad processes that control the Earth’s average cloud cover can also do this. For instance, the IPCC talks about manmade particulate pollution (“aerosols”) causing a change in global cloudiness…but they never mention the possibility that the climate system can change its...

Other than human causes, natural factors may also play a role in wiping out amphibians. Drastic environmental changes, other than the presence of trout, could have occurred in the park. Climate change is a likely candidate, which would have a huge impact on amphibians because they cannot regula...
The report said climate change also could be to blame as the dry weather has caused water levels to drop and makes it more difficult for the porpoises to find food. Tests have shown that some of the porpoises are believed to have died of starvation (饥饿). In 2006, China was ...
Human impacts on the natural environment during the later part of the Holocene (beginning about 4,000 years ago) complicate investigations into environmental change during the period because the signals produced by human- and climate-induced change are sometimes difficult to separate. For example, in...
I look at records of climate change from all over the world to get a better picture of exactly how the climate has changed and how the different parts of the climate system interacted with one another. I am especially interested in very large climate changes, known as glacial cycles, which...
