Repetitive mammalian dwarfing during ancient greenhouse warming events
Abrupt perturbations of the global carbon cycle during the early Eocene are associated with rapid global warming events, which are analogous in many ways to present greenhouse warming. Mammal dwarfing has been observed, along with other changes in community structure, during the largest of these ancient global warming events, known as the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum [PETM; ~56 million year...
متن کاملENSO and greenhouse warming
849 The impacts of anthropogenic climate change may be felt through changes in modes of natural climatic vari ability. ENSO is the most important year-to-year fluctuation of the climate system on the planet1, varying between anomalously cold (La Niña) and warm (El Niño) condi tions. Underpinning occurrences of ENSO events is the positive feedback between trade wind intensity and zonal contrasts...
متن کاملThe Greenhouse Warming Hype
It was billed as a major disaster film about a serious subject. The movie The Day after Tomorrow describes the effects of global warming at a breathtaking pace. Global warming triggers the collapse of the Antarctic ice sheet beneath a team of polar scientists. In chain-reaction-like consequences, the collapse sends a 100-foot tsunami across Manhattan before the city is frozen in ice. Super-torn...
متن کاملAmplified Arctic warming by phytoplankton under greenhouse warming.
Phytoplankton have attracted increasing attention in climate science due to their impacts on climate systems. A new generation of climate models can now provide estimates of future climate change, considering the biological feedbacks through the development of the coupled physical-ecosystem model. Here we present the geophysical impact of phytoplankton, which is often overlooked in future clima...
متن کاملEffects of Global Warming on Ancient Mammalian Communities and Their Environments
BACKGROUND Current global warming affects the composition and dynamics of mammalian communities and can increase extinction risk; however, long-term effects of warming on mammals are less understood. Dietary reconstructions inferred from stable isotopes of fossil herbivorous mammalian tooth enamel document environmental and climatic changes in ancient ecosystems, including C(3)/C(4) transitions...
