"Cool Tropics" Greenhouse Paradox Explained
DudeTheMath writes "The journal Nature reports that Paul Pearson et al. of the University of Bristol have found evidence that ocean temperatures were warmer than previously believed during the last "greenhouse warming" climatological period. It seems they've finally found undegraded shells, preserved in clay, that reveal the temperature at which they were formed."
From the article: "The tropics are home to many developing countries - the very places particularly vulnerable to climate change, lacking the resources to adapt. "
Does anyone find that sentence disturbing. As if there was so correlation between the evolution of humans and the ability of other creatures in a similar environment to adapt to changes?
