[1] Trends in global oceanic heat content (OHC) over the late 20th century as simulated by climate models that incorporate all radiative forcing factors are smaller than the observed, but the causes are not clear. Given the cooling effect associated with increasing anthropogenic aerosols and natural forcing (i.e., volcanic aerosols), we examine their respective roles in the simulated global OHC...

Anthropogenic climate change is predicted to be a major cause of species extinctions in the next 100 years. But what will actually cause these extinctions? For example, will it be limited physiological tolerance to high temperatures, changing biotic interactions or other factors? Here, we systematically review the proximate causes of climate-change related extinctions and their empirical suppor...

Diagnostic findings are presented on 522 common loons (Gavia immer) found dead or moribund in New England (Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont, USA) between 1987 and 2000. Common loon numbers and range in New England have decreased from historic levels over the last century due to a number of proposed factors. Goals of this study were to identify and cate...

Humans impact natural systems at an unprecedented rate. The North Sea is one of the regions in world with highest levels anthropogenic activity. Here, harbor porpoise ( Phocoena phocoena ) abundant species and often regarded as ecosystem sentinel. A post-mortem surveillance program was established Netherlands aimed increasing knowledge effects human activities on porpoises. In this study, we de...

Review: Causes and impacts of anthropogenic activities on mangrove deforestation degradation in Indonesia. Intl J Bonorowo Wetlands 12: 12-22. Indonesia is a country with the largest extent mangroves world. However, as human population increases, quality decrease. The increasing line increase a...

Abstract In response to increasing human emissions, the global ocean is continually warming. The spatial distribution of this warming can result from several mechanisms, difficult disentangle in observations. Idealized modeling studies have successfully separated contribution additional heat passively entering changing circulation redistributing pre-existing perturbations air–sea fluxes. Howeve...

tory embarrassment or collapse, which in clinical terms is represented most obviously by a reduction in the blood-pressure. There are a number of causes of that state, that is, it is not a definite clinical entity, it is only a train of symptoms, and it is essential for a reception officer to sort out the cases rather than merely to regard transfusion as efficacious for the treatment of every o...

Evolutionary debunking arguments (EDAs) are arguments that appeal to the evolutionary origins of evaluative beliefs to undermine their justification. This paper aims to clarify the premises and presuppositions of EDAs-a form of argument that is increasingly put to use in normative ethics. I argue that such arguments face serious obstacles. It is often overlooked, for example, that they presuppo...
