Many researchers believe the extinction was more gradual, resulting from the sea level and climate changes already occurring during the late Cretaceous, and aggravated by impact events or increased volcanic activity.

A study of climate records has shown that El Niño events in the equatorial Pacific are generally associated with a warm tropical North Atlantic in the following spring and summer.

During the last several decades the number of El Niño events increased, and the number of La Niña events decreased, although we may need to observe ENSO for much longer to detect robust changes The question is whether this is a random fluctuation or a normal instance of variation for that phenomenon or the result of global climate changes toward global warming.

It is believed that North Atlantic Deep Water formation has been dramatically reduced at times during the past ( such as during the Younger Dryas or during Heinrich events ), and that this might correlate with a decrease in the strength of the Gulf Stream and the North Atlantic drift, in turn cooling the climate of northwestern Europe.

Suggested mechanisms for the latter include large or multiple bolide impact events, increased volcanism, coal / gas fires and explosions from the Siberian Traps, and sudden release of methane clathrate from the sea floor ; gradual changes include sea-level change, anoxia, increasing aridity, and a shift in ocean circulation driven by climate change.

The Medieval Warm Period ( MWP ), Medieval Climate Optimum, or Medieval Climatic Anomaly was a time of warm climate in the North Atlantic region, that may also have been related to other climate events around the world during that time, including in China, and other countries lasting from about AD 950 to 1250.

Others follow the convention and when a significant climate event is found in the " LIA " or " MWP " time frames, associate their events to the period.

Some " MWP " events are thus wet events or cold events rather than strictly warm events, particularly in central Antarctica where climate patterns opposite to the North Atlantic area have been noticed.

Research, conducted in OAR laboratories and by extramural programs, focuses on enhancing our understanding of environmental phenomena such as tornadoes, hurricanes, climate variability, solar flares, changes in the ozone, air pollution transport and dispersion, El Niño / La Niña events, fisheries productivity, ocean currents, deep sea thermal vents, and coastal ecosystem health.

This " bridging role " has allowed the Fertile Crescent to retain a greater amount of biodiversity than either Europe or North Africa, where climate changes during the Ice Age led to repeated extinction events when ecosystems became squeezed against the waters of the Mediterranean Sea.

The recent warmer climate has led to more summer melting and more winter melting events, reducing winter snowpack.

So many events are conducting as well as Jhola Aandolan against plastic carry bags use, Global green mission, Operation water reservoir, stop global warming & climate changes, reduce pollution with dedication to save environmental and spiritual values.

Some notable climate events:

The climate of the late Precambrian showed some major glaciation events spreading over much of the earth.

Both the climate changes and sudden impacts may cause, or contribute to, extinction events.

Some schools have neckties as standard issue, but even then, the neckties are generally reserved for school events and public appearances, and are not part of the everyday school uniform, the tropical climate making them uncomfortable.

* There are very few old soils ( in a geological sense ) because they can be destroyed or buried by geological events, or modified by shifts in climate by virtue of their vulnerable position at the surface of the earth.

While individual events cannot be directly linked to human-induced climate change, the frequency and magnitude of these types of events are predicted to increase in a warmer world.

A 2008 expedition from the University of Washington's School of Oceanography collected sediment cores from the lagoon to study climate change over the last millennium.

However, in the last couple of years the British graffiti scene has been struck by self-titled ' art terrorist ' Banksy, who has revolutionized the style of UK graffiti ( bringing to the forefront stencils to aid the speed of painting ) as well as the content ; making his work largely satirical of the sociological state of cities, or the political climate of war, often using monkeys and rats as motifs.

Ice core records show that before the Holocene there was global warming after the end of the last ice age and cooling periods, but climate changes became more regional at the start of the Younger Dryas.

At times during the last interglacial period ( 130, 000 – 70, 000 BC ) Europe had a climate warmer than today's, and early humans may have made their way to Scotland, though archaeologists have found no traces of this.

He has been quoted in The Guardian that 80 % of humans will perish by 2100 AD, and this climate change will last 100, 000 years.

However, such climate changes were nothing new ; numerous very similar warming episodes had occurred previously within the ice age of the last several million years without producing comparable megafaunal extinctions, so climate alone is unlikely to have played a decisive role.

In both cases, new climate model simulations show that the effects would last for more than a decade.

That crossing became possible when sea level had fallen by more than 80m to expose much of the shelf between southern Eritrea and Yemen ; a level that was reached during a glacial stadial from 60 to 70 ka as climate cooled erratically to reach the last glacial maximum.

On September 2, 1997, Singer said that " The possibility that global temperatures could rise because of an increase in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is a concern that needs to be monitored ... But there has been no indication in the last century that we've seen anything other than natural climate fluctuations.

He proposed that " Evidence has been accumulating in many fields of investigation pointing to a notably warm climate in many parts of the world, that lasted a few centuries around A. D. 1000 – 1200, and was followed by a decline of temperature levels till between 1500 and 1700 the coldest phase since the last ice age occurred.

The vine is one of the last major grape varieties to bud and ripen ( typically 1 – 2 weeks after Merlot and Cabernet franc ) and the climate of the growing season affects how early the grapes will be harvested.

Due to the favorable climate of the location, people lived there about 50, 000 years ago during the last glacial period, as burial sites show from this era.

This wood left outside can be expected to last no more than 12 – 18 months depending on the type of climate it is exposed to.

The effect of these raids, particularly when coupled with his capture of the Royal Navy's HMS Drake — the first such success in British waters, but not Jones's last — was to force the British government to increase resources for coastal defence, and to create a climate of fear among the British public which was subsequently fed by press reports of his preparations for the 1779 Bonhomme Richard mission.

Current carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere exceed measurements from the last 420, 000 and levels are rising faster than ever recorded, making it of critical importance to better understand how the carbon cycle works and what its effects are on the global climate.

The black bear's generalist behavior allowed it to exploit a wider variety of foods and has been given as a reason why of these 3 genera, it alone survived climate and vegetative changes through and last ice age while the other more specialized North American predators went extinct.

The climate can be severely affected by the Bora, a very dry and usually cool north-to-northeast katabatic wind that can last for several days and reach speeds of up to 200 km per hour, thus sometimes bringing all-day subzero temperatures to the entire city.

The diversity of subspecies is probably the product of a largely Early Pleistocene radiation aided by climate and habitat changes during the last ice age.

As the last ice age ended, it is believed that the climate changed so rapidly that the glaciers retreated back into the mountains in only some 200 to 300 years time.

In the last decade a viniculture industry has sprung up in Groesbeek, making the area the northernmost vinicultural centre in Europe, and the only such area in the Netherlands, owing to the highly fertile loess soil, generally warmer summers, and new variations of grapes which do better in the humid climate.

Lost Draw formed over 10, 000 years ago at the end of the last Ice Age when the climate of the area was much wetter.

Historical climatology is the study of climate as related to human history and thus focuses only on the last few thousand years.

Agriculture is presently of little importance in the economy but climate change in southern Greenland, the growing season averages about three weeks longer than a decade ago has enabled expanded production of existing crops.

A study presented at the annual meeting of the American Geophysical Union in December 2006 found that even a small-scale, regional nuclear war could disrupt the global climate for a decade or more.

Predictions tools made significant progress during the decade, UN-sponsored organisations such as the IPCC gained influence, and studies such as the Stern report influenced public support for paying the political and economic costs of countering climate change.

A study presented at the annual meeting of the American Geophysical Union in December 2006 asserted that even a small-scale regional nuclear war could produce as many direct fatalities as all of World War II and disrupt the global climate for a decade or more.

The increasing demand for competitively priced renewable electricity fostered by the fight against climate change had a positive impact on Hydro-Québec's balance sheet in the last decade.

Over the decade that followed, the Maruia Society played a major role in the development of, and later review of, the Resource Management Act 1991, developed a programme of conservation work in Fiji, the Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea and New Caledonia, and played a significant role in the development of the government ’ s policies on climate change, forestry, energy, transport and overseas development assistance.

The disintegration events are linked to the ongoing climate warming in the Antarctic Peninsula, about 0. 5 ° C per decade since the late 1940s, which is a consequence of localized warming of the Antarctic peninsula.

The 1990s were the decade in which greenhouse pollution and climate change became critical issues.

The Cold War and its associated conflicts helped create a politically conservative climate in the country, as the quasi-confrontation intensified throughout the entire decade.

While a few of the short-term projects were implemented, none of the long-term projects prevailed in the political climate of the ensuring decade, which included the end of the Vietnam War in 1975.

Stumpf himself has decried the post-Tailhook climate and its effect on morale and readiness: " he essence of that warrior culture has been severely diluted in this decade.

In the supercharged political climate of the decade, the so-called Milton Affair would lead to a protest march and a walk out of classes in sympathy and the mass departure of African-American athletes from the OSU football team.

Over the past decade, the ISE's primary activist focus has been around opposition to genetic engineering of food and trees, exposing the broader myths of biotechnology, involvement in the growing movement for climate justice, and bringing a community-centered, grassroots approach, rooted in the practice of New England ’ s traditional town meetings, to a variety of social and ecological issues.

Unfortunately, the warlike climate of the last decade has served to relegate all plans for global disarmament, even in civil-society debates, and to pigeonhole them as a long-term goal or even a Utopian vision.
