Publisher: W.H. Freeman

Jun 1, 2010 - Understanding the concept of geologic time and some basic science can give a new perspective on climate change and the energy future. Below are edited In my second semester, I began working with Anne and she encouraged me to write more, to expand, to go deeper and wider. People who argue that carbon dioxide concentrations have been higher in the past generally won't mention how long ago that was. Or the girls abducted in Nigeria? You might want to avoid refering to it in the future. But it can do what it has always done. Image credit: And so Jim had brought together evidence showing that Earth's climate was nearing a 'tipping point' beyond which it will be impossible to avoid dangerous changes. 3 days ago - Her poetry, and this book in particular, fairly bursts with such praise. 4 days ago - The paper suggested that the climate might be less sensitive to greenhouse gases than had been claimed by the IPCC in its report last September, and recommended that more work be carried out to reduce the underlying They found that the vast majority of energy released from the sun during this coronal mass ejection was reflected back up into space rather than deposited into Earth's lower atmosphere. And then there's climate change. 2 days ago - In response to the revelations of his ongoing research, NASA scientist Jim Hansen has become increasingly active in campaigning to halt climate change over the past decade. 6 days ago - The Wall Street Journal's Experts are back, and this week Robert Rapier weighs in on coal's climate threat. Fre eman | 2007 | ISBN: 0716784904 | 388 pages | PDF | 53,3 MB Earth's Climate: Past and Future, 2nd edition Publisher: W. 6 days ago - Science derives its objectivity from robust logic and honest evidence repeatedly tested by all knowledgeable scientists, not just those paid to support the administration's version of “Global Warming,” “Climate Change,” “Climate We are asked to believe that humans are drastically changing the earth's climate by burning fossil fuels. This essay is adapted from his new book on the future of fossil fuels, which will appear next year. 4 days ago - Nevertheless, certain websites and individuals that dispute, disparage and deny the science that shows that humans are causing the Earth to warm continue to quote my article. 3 hours ago - Otherwise people prefer to read non-fiction (if they read at all). I really don't know what poetry can do. 4 hours ago - A Sierra Club internal memo leaked to the Daily Caller instructed allies not to overemphasize potential green jobs, and many groups, like NextGen Climate and 350.org are focusing on fighting projects whose proponents say create jobs, deniers' talking points, Americans can hardly be blamed for supporting the most economical energy source, and clever marketing has them believing that fossil fuels are better for cheap energy and job creation for the near future. That would be asking some heavy lifting of poetry. €The second line of evidence is from reconstructions of past climates using evidence such as tree rings, ice cores, and corals. Dec 23, 2011 - Earth's Climate: Past and Future, 2nd edition Publisher: W. I got most of the information for this blog entry from Jim Hansen's book, 'Storms of my Grandchildren'. A popular, and plausible, explanation for the last of these events, the one when the dinosaurs disappeared, is that an asteroid 10 kilometers in diameter, traveling 15 kilometers per second, struck the earth and exploded with the power of a million ..
