Wildfire responses to abrupt climate change in North America.
It is widely accepted, based on data from the last few decades and on model simulations, that anthropogenic climate change will cause increased fire activity.

We use 35 charcoal and pollen records to assess how fire regimes in North America changed during the...

Although abrupt climate changes can occur for many reasons, it is conceivable that human forcing of climate change is increasing the probability of large, abrupt events. Were such an event to recur, the economic and ecological impacts could b...
متن کاملAbrupt change in climate and climate models
First, we review the evidence that abrupt climate changes have occurred in the past and then demonstrate that climate models have developing capacity to simulate many of these changes. In particular, the processes by which changes in the ocean circulation drive abrupt changes appear to be captured by climate models to a degree that is encouraging. The evidence that past changes in the ocean hav...
