Examination Earth's recent history key predicting global temperatures
2015-12-18 13:53:00| Climate Ark Climate Change & Global Warming Newsfeed
PhysOrg: Estimates of future global temperatures based on recent observations must account for the differing characteristics of each important driver of recent climate change, according to a new NASA study published Dec. 14 in the journal Nature Climate Change. To quantify climate change, researchers need to know the Transient Climate Response (TCR) and Equilibrium Climate Sensitivity (ECS) of Earth. Both values are projected global mean surface temperature changes in response to doubled atmospheric carbon...

2015-12-11 13:00:00| LifeSciencesWorld
[NEWS] New research led by the American Museum of Natural History reveals that the evolution of modern birds was greatly shaped by the history of our planet's geography and climate. The DNA-based work, published today in the journal Science Advances, finds that birds arose in what is now South America around 90 million years ago, and radiated extensively around the time of the Cretaceous-Paleogene extinction event that killed off the non-avian dinosaurs. The new research suggest…

Washington Post: The nation is closing in on its worst wildfire season in recorded history, with nearly 9.8 million acres already burned -- the equivalent of Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island and part of New Hampshire going up in flames. Two large fires and more than 160 smaller ones remain active, and more fires are expected to be reported before the month ends. Together, theyre likely to push the 2015 total past the record 9.87 million acres burned in 2006. The extent of scorched earth reflects a...
