More specifically, they say that "in nearly all regions and seasons, linear trends estimated for both storm indices over the period analyzed show a decrease," while "in terms of the regional average series," they say that "all seasons show statistically significant declines in both storm indices, with the largest reductions in storminess in autumn and winter." | 1 | 1_7 | 1_7 | null | cards | TRAIN |
" A paper published ...in the Journal of Geophysical Research finds "the loss rate in southeast Greenland for the more recent period has become almost negligible, down from 109 28 Gt/yr of just a few years ago. The rapid change in the nature of the regional ice mass in southeast and northwest Greenland, in the course of only several years, further reinforces the idea that the Greenland ice sheet mass balance is very vulnerable to regional climate conditions." Global warming allegedly due to greenhouse gases would not be expected to cause such regional interannual variability in Greenland ice loss, thus pointing to shifts in weather instead." | 1 | 2_1 | 2_1 | null | cards | TRAIN |
" Eme et al. conclude , in their words, that "terapon and mullet demonstrate exceptional tolerance to high temperatures," and they say "it seems likely that shallow-water sea surface temperatures would have to be much higher to adversely affect these and other shallow water marine fishes...they write that "despite diverse independent origins across taxa, fishes may share a common suite of physiological adaptations allowing them to survive periodic exposure to high environmental temperature ..."and that "exceptional thermal tolerance may be common throughout the biodiverse shallow waters of the Indo-Pacific." Thus, in the final analysis, they conclude that "tropical marine fishes inhabiting fringing nursery environments may have the upper thermal tolerance necessary to endure substantial increases in sea temperatures." | 1 | 3_2 | 3_2 | null | cards | TRAIN |

" In the ongoing global warming debate there is often a significant difference between the perception of what is going on with the Earths climate when compared to what is actually going on. There is no greater example of this than the summer temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere...A recent study is probably the highest resolution reconstruction using temperature and precipitation records from the region and then correlating to tree-ring data to create a high resolution reconstruction of the summer temperatures for North-Central China...it is clear that the peak of the modern warming cycle for the summer months took place 70-80 years ago.

" Last year Duke sought permission from the North Carolina Utilities Commission to classify two of its coal-fired power plants as renewable facilities, because the company wants to burn a combination of wood chips and coal at the plants.

" So instead of identifying why there has been less global warming over the past 10-15 years than climate models have projected, Solomon et al. have found that climate models have missed the mark even furtherfor had they properly included the effect of volcanoes and background stratospheric aerosols, they would have projected even a greater rate of warming than they already do. And since observations show that there has been relatively little, if any, warming over this same time period, the results from Solomon et al. means that climate models are doing worse than even the model lovers have realized." | 1 | 5_1 | 5_1 | null | cards | TRAIN |

It is far more rational to remove those regulatory barriers so that the US, and countries all around the world, can develop wealth historically, the creation of wealth has led to a cleaner environment." | 1 | 4_1 | 4_1 | null | cards | TRAIN |
"Along both temperate and tropical rocky shores," in the words of the five scientists, "there was a reduction in sea urchin abundances alongside a proliferation of Padina spp., as CO 2 levels increased." In the case of sea urchins, in fact, they discovered that the predators were actually absent in locations having the highest CO 2 levels (lowest pH); while in the case of the Padina spp., they found that "even in the lowest pH conditions, P. pavonica and P. australis were still able to calcify, seemingly from the enhancement of photosynthesis under high levels of CO 2 ."

"Although Islam had a religious component, it is much more than a simple religious ideology. It is a complete geo-political structure and, as such, does not deserve First Amendment protections." Georgia congressional candidate Jody Hice. | 0 | 0_0 | 0_0 | null | cards | TRAIN |
"Although not an accurate demonstration of the physics of climate change, the experiment we have considered and related ones are valuable examples of the dangers of unintentional bias in science , the value of at least a rough quantitativeprediction of the expected effect, the importance of considering alternative explanations, and the need for carefully designed experimental controls ." | 1 | 5_1 | 5_1 | null | cards | TRAIN |

"Although various research groups use different techniques to account for this problem, the absence of ground truth (true temperature) makes it impossible to ascertain whose technique is best. Esper uses a method aimed at retaining long-period (greater than a century or so) variations in the tree-ring records, whereas Mann uses a method that virtually eliminates all long-term variation." Esper concludes, "Higher-frequency climate variations are generally better understood than lower-frequency variations." | 0 | 0_0 | 0_0 | null | cards | TRAIN |
