متن کاملClimate Change: Lessons for Our Future from the Distant Past
We consider information from many sciences bearing on the causes and consequences of climate change, focusing on lessons from past mass extinctions of life on Earth. The increasing atmospheric levels of the main greenhouse gases are now established, as is their source in human activity. Worldwide temperatures are rising on a high variance stochastic trend. Evidence from the past 500 million yea...

and reconciling rapid surface warming with upper-air temperatures, which were reported to have exhibited little if any warming over the satellite era (Folland et al. 2001; NRC 2000). This has led to a number of new satellite(Christy et al. 2003; Mears et al. 2003; Grody et al. 2004), radiosonde(Lanzante et al. 2003; Thorne et al. 2005), and reanalyses(Uppala et al. 2005) based upper-air tempera...
