The frequency with which new, serious disease epidemics have been occurring is briefly mentioned, also in light of climate change, and climate and other pathogens. Columbia University State of the Planet (2014), Renee Cho wrote: [Generally], when it’s warmer, the disease transmission system speeds up. Some scientists think that climate change, with its increase in…
A Never-Before-Seen Event Is Collapsing an Ice Sheet in the Russian Arctic – Will ice stream collapse accelerate Sea Level Rise super extreme? Scientists have discovered a rare event, a collapsing ice sheet. With already multi meter sea level rise estimates from global warming, this highlighted event may accelerate trends further, with serious implications for…
During the late 1970s it became increasingly clear that the planet was warming, culminating in the landmark Charney report, published in 1979, The Charney Report: 40 years ago, scientists accurately predicted climate change https://phys.org/news/2019-07-charney-years-scientists-accurately-climate.html Topics discussed include, the scientific consensus, weather patterns, sea level rise, adaptation, climate actions, or the greenhouse effect. This 1984 documentary…
How humans discovered sea level rise – based on motion pictures, with the scope on Antarctica. Footage spanning from 1948 up to 1990.
Published in 1956 for American television by the California Academy of Sciences. Bernard Hubbard explains how glaciers retreat, he mentions how since 1857 glaciers recede worldwide. Hubbard also explains the ice albedo effect, and how glaciers disintegrate. This program is devoted to glaciers, and also includes a promo for the Academy of Sciences. SPEAKER Bernard…

Flood basalts and mass extinctions – ancient hyperthermals as analogs for anthropogenic climate change. Oceanic Anoxic Event (OAE) and mass extinctions are considered to be hyperthermals – usually associated with flood basalt eruptions.[2] Phases of rapid global warming, known collectively as hyperthermals.[1] Flood basalts are a subset of large igneous provinces (LIPs), the terms flood basalt…
