There is much interest in ice-age studies in recent decades, in the context of global warming. The relevant findings are these: large regular changes in climate occurred within the last million years, especially in the northern North Atlantic. Extreme conditions were similar, suggesting strong...
- Point: Scientists Have not Determined the Exact Causes of Climate Change. Bowman, Jeffrey; Morley, David C. // Points of View: Global Warming;2013, p2
The article argues that there will be no effective public policy on global warming until scientists discover more reasons for the earth's changing climate. It provides an overview of the debate among scientists on whether climate change is caused by humans or simply a naturally occurring...

The threat of future global warming has generated a major interest in quantifying past climate variability on centennial and millennial time-scales. However, palaeoclimatological records are often noisy and arguments about past variability are only possible if they are based on reproducible...

The article focuses on how scientists should respond to contentious scientific claims in the media. In the book "Heaven and Earth: Global Warming--The Missing Science," author Ian Plimer centered on the issue of human-induced climate change. Considered as a complex and difficult field, many...

The CSIRO Mark 2 coupled global climatic model has been used to generate a 10,000-year simulation for �present� climatic conditions. The model output has been analysed to identify sustained climatic fluctuations, such as those attributed to the Medieval Warm Period (MWP) and the Little Ice...

At the boundary between the Palaeocene and Eocene epochs, about 55 million years ago, the Earth experienced a strong global warming event, the Palaeocene–Eocene thermal maximum. The leading hypothesis to explain the extreme greenhouse conditions prevalent during this period is the dissociation...

Over the past 100 years, the global average temperature has increased by approximately 0.6 �C and is projected to continue to rise at a rapid rate[SUP1]. Although species have responded to climatic changes throughout their evolutionary history[SUP2], a primary concern for wild species and...
