Science, 1996
The present climate, which falls between the last ice age and the next, is relatively stable. New data on past climate change, however, indicates that the climate is capable of undergoing abrupt changes from one mode to another. In his Perspective, Overpeck describes the current research into the history of climate change and how it might influence our

Climatic Warming and Permafrost
1999Permafrost is dependent upon the ambient temperature for its existence and is sensitive to climatic changes. Conduction heat transfer relations, with thawing and geothermal heat flow, are presented to predict the transient effects of surface temperature changes on the thermal state of permafrost.

Climate Variability and Global Warming
Science, 2001Although uncertainties in global warming are many and varied, they are not as great as stated in the recent U.S. National Research Council (NRC) report ([1][1]). As Richard A. Kerr notes in his News of the Week article, President George W. Bush seized upon these uncertainties to justify the administration's limited response (“Bush backs spending for a ‘

Futures, 1982
Abstract Predicting the weather more than a few days ahead is a risky business, so how can we possibly have any idea of future climate? Of course we cannot predict future climate in any detail, but many scientists believe that the large-scale, global average climate of the future can be determined. The indications are for warming.

Tree seasonality in a warming climate
Trends in Plant Science, 2011Climate warming has increased researchers' interest in plant phenology and its modelling. Although the main focus is on projections of accelerated springtime phenological events, also a further extension of the growing season by delayed growth cessation is often projected. However, ecophysiological studies indicate that, for boreal and temperate trees,

Mainly because there are many overseas readers of this book but also because UK readers are increasingly requiring a knowledge of overseas building practice, it seemed desirable to add a further chapter describing the main problems experienced and the techniques used to overcome them.

Pecan [Carya illinoensis (Wangenh. C. Koch)] production can be divided into two categories, production in dry and production in humid climates. Production in dry climates can be subdivided into production in low elevation climates and production in high elevation climates.

2002 IEEE Power Engineering Society Winter Meeting. Conference Proceedings (Cat. No.02CH37309), 2003
Summary form only given. The balance of evidence suggests that the climate is not warming. A US National Research Council report has highlighted, but not explained, the disparity between different data sets: while a variety of surface thermometers report a substantial warming trend, microwave sensing units (MSU) on weather satellites, and also ...

Most of the warm areas in the world lie between 0 to 34°N and S. Major potato production occurs between 23°N and 34°N and represents the subtropical lowlands, where potato is a winter crop (Hijmans, 2001). During the last three decades, potato areas increased in the developing world and North America while it decreased in Europe (FAO 2000, 2001).
