چکیده
Recent scientifi c studies confi rm that human-induced climate change is leading to increases in atmospheric and ocean temperatures. Studies conducted in 2005 also note that there will be a delay in climate impacts as a result of thermal inertia. Therefore, even if our society were to halt greenhouse gas emissions today, we have already committed to substantial warming and sea-level rise in future years. INTRODUCTION

متن کاملAtlantic Ocean forcing of North American and European summer climate.
Recent extreme events such as the devastating 2003 European summer heat wave raise important questions about the possible causes of any underlying trends, or low-frequency variations, in regional climates. Here, we present new evidence that basin-scale changes in the Atlantic Ocean, probably related to the thermohaline circulation, have been an important driver of multidecadal variations in the...

متن کاملIntegrating economic analysis and the science of climate instability
Scientific understanding of climate change and climate instability has undergone a revolution in the past decade with the discovery of numerous past climate transitions so rapid, and so unlike the expectation of smooth climate changes, that they would have previously been unbelievable to the scientific community. Models commonly used by economists to assess the wisdom of adapting to human-induc...
متن کاملTemporal relationships of carbon cycling and ocean circulation at glacial boundaries.
Evidence from high-sedimentation-rate South Atlantic deep-sea cores indicates that global and Southern Ocean carbon budget shifts preceded thermohaline circulation changes during the last ice age initiation and termination and that these were preceded by ice-sheet growth and retreat, respectively. No consistent lead-lag relationships are observed during abrupt millennial warming events during t...
