Exxon scientists predicted global warming with ‘shocking skill and accuracy,’ Harvard researchers say – Harvard Gazette
“We thought this was a unique opportunity to understand what Exxon knew about this issue and what level of scientific understanding they had at the time,” added co-author Naomi Oreskes, Henry Charles Lea Professor of the History of Science whose work looks at the causes and effects of climate change denial. “We found that not…
Can polar bears survive climate change? A discovery sheds new light on a warmer world
Polar bears rely on sea ice to survive. That’s one reason images portraying a helpless polar bear standing on a small iceberg have become a potent symbol for the global environmental movement to combat the cause and effects of global climate change. In a surprising study , researchers announced the discovery of a population of…
Climate change could cause a mass marine extinction event, study says – The Washington Post
The findings, published in the journal Science, reveal a potential mass extinction looming beneath the waves. The oceans have absorbed a third of the carbon and 90 percent of the excess heat created by humans, but their vast expanse and forbidding depths mean scientists are just beginning to understand what creatures face there. Yet the…
Why global warming is good for us
But are we not told to expect more volatile weather as a result of climate change? It is certainly assumed that we should. Yet there’s no evidence to suggest weather volatility is increasing and no good theory to suggest it will. The decreasing temperature differential between the tropics and the Arctic may actually diminish the…
