as ice has formed year upon year at the poles, old ice has been buried underneath with bubbles of air trapped inside it. The bubbles act as a record of what the air was like on Earth when the ice formed—and thus what the climate was like in years gone by. Using...
onclimate, that things are not as bad as they seem, and that much-touted sustainable actions compensate for continuing environmental harms–in effect reducing the impetus for responsible action and diverting attention fromclimate change’s primary drivers. This bait-and-switch strategy fragmentsclimate...
People connected to the fossil fuel industry may deny climate change, because "they were worried that they would lose resources and money if climate change regulations were implemented." Other reasons of denial may be influenced by religion, superstition or politics. "Science is based on evidence,...

In a future warmer climate, the westerly winds are expected to weaken due to the decrease in baroclinicity in the atmosphere. Since the westerly winds play an important role as the steering flow of TCs, these weakened westerly winds will lead to a reduction in the TC translation speed in...
How does latitude affect climate change? How does the movement of air masses affect weather? What is the anthropogenic greenhouse effect? What factors contribute to global winds? How does weather affect beach erosion? How do hurricanes affect biodiversity?
Weather and Climate Another property of the real world, missing in our model so far, is that the real world is not everywhere the same temperature, and the heat fluxes to and from space do not necessarily balance at any given time or location. This is because the winds in the atmosphere...
The correlation between climate and FID increased northwards (positive interaction with latitude) and it was weaker for larger species (negative interaction with body mass; both interactions had intermediate effect sizes). Climate effects on FID were significant in rural but not in urban habitats (...
Climate change is one of the top three global threats to seabirds, particularly species that visit polar regions. Arctic terns migrate between both polar regions annually and rely on productive marine areas to forage, on sea ice for rest and foraging, and prevailing winds during flight. Here, ...
