Climate Change Since the Industrial Revolution
Father Theo goes to climate school 7 Weather changes day-to-day, year-to-year, but beneath this noisy everyday record, climatologists have discovered clear trends in our modern climate.

Adding Up Superstorm Sandy
November 29, 2012
Superstorm Sandy shows how climate change can add up. Climate change warms the oceans, evaporates more water vapour and raises the air temperature. All these conditions separately and together power stronger storms and also stronger storm surges, and the increase in water vapour increases the amount of precipitation that the storms drop. Climate change also […]

December 4, 2011

When the concentration of CO2 dropped below 600 parts per million, ice sheets began to form in Antarctica. Until that time mammals, and even some reptiles and amphibians, had lived at […]
