A new study from the University of Bristol,UK,aims to find out how climate change is impacting the distribution,population and seasonality of marine species. The study's senior author,Martin Genner,an evolutionary ecologist,said:"We found the same trend across all groups of ...
根据第一段“A new study says that no matter how much the world cuts back on greenhouse gases, a large and important part of ice of Antarctica (南极洲) is expected to disappear.(一项新的研究表明,无论世界减少多少温室气体排放,南极洲的一大部分重要冰预计都会消失)”结合文章主要说明了研究发现...
we mean really long-term. Even a few hundred years is pretty short-term when it comes to climate. In fact, changes in climate sometimes take tens of thousands of years. That means if you happen to have a winter that isn't as cold as usual, with not very much snow -- or even two...
The past seven years of the record really stand out as much warmer than anything that has come before. This can be seen in the figure below from Berkeley Earth. Each shaded curve represents the annual average temperature for that year. The further that curve is to the right, the warmer it...
That's the basic thinking behind OTEC (ocean thermal energy conversion), first suggested in 1881, which involves extracting useful energy from the heat locked in the oceans. How much energy are we talking about? According to some estimates, there's enough heat in the upper layers of the ...
are ocean temperatures. Historically, El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) events have resulted in warmer-than-normal coastal waters from California to Peru, but more recently, a new warming phenomenon has been identified across the world's oceans. Marine heatwaves are created by a regional build...
if anything rather below the rate of increase in the last century. In the 11,400 years since the end of the lastIce Age, sea level has risen at an average of 4 feet/century, though it is now rising much more slowly because very nearly all of the land-based ice that is at low eno...
I can’t tell you how much your life resonates with mine. Its so hard at the moment. My mind plays over everything I have done for my 2 daughters and trying to understand why they seem to disregard me so. I am 60 but feel as if I am done; tired and want to run away whilst ...
The term "molecular gastronomy" is relatively new and has caused much confusion and controversy. Some of the confusion comes from trying to put a modern spin on a much older word. That word is "gastronomy," which, since the 19th century, has described the art of selecting, ...
The Earth has known Hothouse periods because of two things. The Earth warmed because of storage of thermal energy in the oceans (H2O) and because a higher quantity of water vapor (H2O) in the air (especially at the poles) prevented the Earth from cooling. ...
