Vier manieren waarop u klimaatverandering kunt aanpakken

moose die info is niet mis.flor

in welke zin? Philip uitleg graag als kan.flor

Ik ben het helemaal met A .Schwartz en Moose eens ,dat als je wat verder zoekt je teveel materiaal tegen komt je laat twijfelen en de hele hypothese over de “klimaatverandering ” nogal gammel maakt.Rocker mag misschien moe worden van het reageren op kritische mensen die niet blind in de polonaise van onheilsvoorspellers mee blijven lopen ,….t’ja, ik kan ‘m verzekeren dat “wij” hetzelfde gevoel hebben naar “jullie’, .

Man, volcanoes and the sun have influenced Europe’s climate over recent centuries

An International research team has discovered that seasonal temperatures in Europe, above all in winter, have been affected over the past 500 years by natural factors such as volcanic eruptions and solar activity, and by human activities such as the emission of greenhouse gases. The study, with Spanish involvement, could help us to better understand the dynamics of climate change.

6,000-year climate record suggests longer droughts, drier climate for Pacific Northwest

The change in cycle regularity Abbott and his colleagues found correlates with documented activity of El Niño/La Niña. When the patterns became more intense, wet and dry cycles in the Pacific Northwest became more erratic and lasted longer, Abbott said.

Carbon sink at South Pole has grown recently, historical collections reveal

By studying collections of a marine bryozoan that date back to a famous 1901 expedition to the South Pole, researchers have found that those organisms were growing steadily up until 1990, when their growth more than doubled. The data, reported in the February 22 issue of Current Biology, a Cell Press publication, provide the highest-latitude record of a century of growth and some of the first evidence that polar carbon sinks may be increasing.

He says the shift is most likely the result of ozone losses, which have led to an increase in wind speeds over the last decade. Those stronger winds are a boon to plankton, as they blow ice out of the way and drive greater circulation of surface waters.

Relationship found between ancient climate change and mass extinction

PhysOrg.com) — In the Late Ordovician Period of Earth’s geologic history, about 450 million years ago, more than 75 percent of marine species perished and Earth scientists have been seeking to discover what caused the extinction. It was the second largest in Earth’s history.

Worldwide sulfur emissions rose between 2000-2005, after decade of decline

A new analysis of sulfur emissions appearing in the journal Atmospheric Chemistry and Physics shows that after declining for a decade, worldwide emissions rose again in 2000 due largely to international shipping and a growing Chinese economy. An accurate read on sulfur emissions will help researchers predict future changes in climate and determine present day effects on the atmosphere, health and the environment.

La Nina has a mind of her own

What is La Niña and why does it matter?

La Niña, “little girl” in Spanish, is the cool part of a naturally-occurring climate cycle called the El Niño/Southern Oscillation. El Niño is the warm part at the other end of that cycle. These shifts are governed, like much of the climate on the planet, by the relationship between winds and ocean surface temperatures. When trade winds, blowing from east to west across the Pacific, are strong, equatorial waters are very cool, signaling the arrival of La Niña. When these winds falter, ocean surface temperatures rise and signal the arrival of the warm sibling, El Niño (“Christ Child” in Spanish). These warm and cool pools expand and linger across much of the tropics for many months, causing dramatic shifts in worldwide temperature and rainfall patterns over both the oceans and continents. These shifts happen every five to seven years and have been around for centuries.

New model changes view of climate change

(PhysOrg.com) — Using new, high-resolution global ocean circulation models, University of Massachusetts Amherst geoscientist Alan Condron, with Peter Winsor at the University of Alaska, report this week that massive glacial meltwaters assumed to have flooded the entire North Atlantic 8,200 years ago, drastically cooling Europe, instead flowed thousands of miles further south. “These results dramatically affect our understanding of what causes climate change,” Condron says.

Arctic climate variation under ancient greenhouse conditions

Tiny organisms preserved in marine sediments hold clues about Arctic climate variation during an ancient episode of greenhouse warming.

Based on reconstructions of Arctic climate variability in the greenhouse world of the Late Cretaceous, Southampton scientists have concluded that man-made global warming probably would not greatly change the climatic influence associated with natural modes of inter-annual climate variability such as the El Niño – Southern Oscillation (ENSO) or the Arctic Oscillation/ North Atlantic Oscillation (AO/ NAO).

Antarctic sea temperatures cooled in Holocene but now rising: study

The biological material in the sediments within the core gives a continuous profile of sea surface temperatures during the Holocene period, which extends back some 12,000 years from the present. This period has been characterized by a warm and relatively stable climate.
The core indicates that surface ocean temperatures at the margins of the peninsula cooled by 3-4 °C over the past 12,000 years, which follows the decline of spring incoming solar radiation (insolation) in the area during that period due to shifts in the Earth’s orbit.

Tropical Atlantic sees weaker trade winds and more rainfall: study

Earth’s global temperature has been rising gradually over the last decades, but the warming has not been the same everywhere. Scientists are therefore trying to pin down how the warming has affected regional climates because that is what really matters to people, and to adaptation and mitigation strategies. Their efforts, however, had hit a roadblock because the necessary observations of the winds over the oceans were biased.

New discoveries improve climate models

New discoveries on how underwater ridges impact the ocean’s circulation system will help improve climate projections.

“Sea-surface temperatures in the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans were much warmer during the mid-Pliocene warm period than they are today, but climate models so far have been unable to fully understand and account for the cause of this large scale of warming,” said USGS scientist Marci Robinson. “Our research suggests that a lower height of the Greenland-Scotland Ridge during this geologic age was a contributor to the increase of poleward heat transport.”

‘Hidden plumbing’ helps slow Greenland ice flow

Scientists find that debris on certain Himalayan glaciers may prevent melting

A new scientific study shows that debris coverage — pebbles, rocks, and debris from surrounding mountains — may be a missing link in the understanding of the decline of glaciers. Debris is distinct from soot and dust, according to the scientists.

The finding is one more element in a worldwide political controversy involving global warming. “Controversy about the current state and future evolution of Himalayan glaciers has been stirred up by erroneous reports by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC),” according to the paper.
“There is no ‘stereotypical’ Himalayan glacier,” said Bookhagen. “This is in clear contrast to the IPCC reports that lumps all Himalayan glaciers together.”
Bookhagen noted that glaciers in the Karakoram region of Northwestern Himalaya are mostly stagnating. However, glaciers in the Western, Central, and Eastern Himalaya are retreating, with the highest retreat rates –– approximately 8 meters per year –– in the Western Himalayan Mountains. The authors found that half of the studied glaciers in the Karakoram region are stable or advancing, whereas about two-thirds are in retreat elsewhere throughout High Asia. This is in contrast to the prevailing notion that all glaciers in the tropics are retreating.

Het 1 kind beleid … Zeker weten dat dit werkt? Hoe zit het met de verhouding geboortes en het overlijden van mensen?

En is het wel zeker dat het klimaat ‘verslechterd’? Want sommige onderzoekers zeggen juist dat er geen gigantische klimaatverandering veroorzaakt door ons, de mens, is. Maar dat we een nieuwe ijstijd/warmere periode ingaan…

Ik dacht dat die flauwe kul afgelopen was , dus niet
100000 om te herstellen hoe kom je erop?
CO2 is juist goed voor ons.
