Reconstructing Earth’s surface temperature over the past 2000 years: the science behind the headlines
The last quarter century spans the publication of the first assessment report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change in 1990 and the latest report published in 2013–2014. The five assessment reports appearing over that interval reveal a marked increase in the number of paleoclimate studies addressing the climate of the last 2000 years (the Common Era). An important focus of this work ...
متن کاملCauses of climate change over the past 1000 years
Recent reconstructions of Northern Hemisphere temperatures and climate forcing over the past 1000 years allow the warming of the 20th century to be placed within a historical context and various mechanisms of climate change to be tested. Comparisons of observations with simulations from an energy balance climate model indicate that as much as 41 to 64% of preanthropogenic (pre-1850) decadal-sca...
متن کاملClimate Change at Yucca Mountain: Lessons from Earth History
Yucca Mountain's suitability as a nuclear waste repository stems largely from its very dry climate and deep water table (Bodvarsson et al. 1999). The facility's ultimate goal is to isolate waste materials for more than ten thousand years (Whipple 1996). And there lies a crucial question: How can we tell whether the climate and hydrologic conditions at Yucca Mountain will be stable enough beyond...
متن کاملEstuarine Research Federation Biocomplexity in Responses of Estuarine Ecosystems to Climate Variability and Change
The purpose of this working paper is to provide brief background on climatic variability and changes that may be anticipated over the 21 century which may affect estuarine ecosystems, with emphasis on the United States. Perspectives on climate change are distilled from a number of international, national and regional assessments of the consequences of climate variability and change that have be...
متن کاملSensitivity of global river discharges under Holocene and future climate conditions
[1] A comparative analysis of global river basins shows that some river discharges are more sensitive to future climate change for the coming century than to natural climate variability over the last 9000 years. In these basins (Ganges, Mekong, Volta, Congo, Amazon, Murray-Darling, Rhine, Oder, Yukon) future discharges increase by 6–61%. These changes are of similar magnitude to changes over th...
