Takver commented on Takver's blog post Climate sensitivity - paleoclimate record points towards potential rapid climate change

Climate sensitivity - paleoclimate record points towards potential rapid climate change

Limiting human-caused warming to 2 degrees is not sufficient," said NASA climatologist James Hansen at the American Geophysical Union meeting on December 6 2011, "It would be a prescription for disaster."In a press conference at the American Geophysical Union Fall meeting 2011 in San Fransisco climate scientists James Hansen, Ken Caldeira and Eelco Rohling explained that the climate sensitivity…See More

Coastal ecosystems suffer 100 fold decrease in capacity to store carbon mitigating climate change
The carbon sink capacity of urbanized river estuary and coastal environments to mitigate climate change has reduced by 100 fold according to scientists from the University of Technology Sydney. The Scientists used core samples from Botany Bay in Sydney to reconstruct the sedimentation changes in the past 6000 years, highlighting the changes in the ecology. The plant samples in the…See More
