Climate Change Ice

The Little Ice Age tells the story of the turbulent, unpredictable, and often very cold years of modern European history, how climate altered historical events, and what they mean in the context of today’s global warming.

To understand Earth’s future, we must first look 13.8 billion years into the past. Climate change is often debated in the context of the next election cycle or the last ten years of weather. But to truly understand Earth’s climate, you have to look bigger. Much bigger. In his 30th book, veteran author J.P. Ames takes readers on a breathtaking scientific journey that begins not with the Industrial Revolution, but with the Big Bang. Earth Climate History: Cycles and Causes is the missing manual for our planet. It strips away the politics and the shouting to focus on the physics, astronomy...

Once again George Mitrovic is looking at a series of mysteries. In this book he is examining the proofs for Climate change being unique to and caused by the civilization of our present day. Unfortunately, he has found repetitions of climate that make our present one a pleasant day in the park, or should I say interstadial and that our technology may exacerbate the climate, it is nothing compared to the events of the past, and the climatic events that will be occurring in the future. George has also found that the scientific study of geology amongst other sciences, are based on an incorrect ...

Most people think of mass extinction as a single bad day involving an asteroid and a T-Rex, but the reality is far more volatile. The history of Earth is a violent saga where life has been nearly extinguished not once, but repeatedly by forces far more terrifying than a rock from space. This book peels back the layers of deep time to reveal the true scale of the catastrophes that have shaped our planet. From the suffocating oceans of the Great Dying to the volcanic winters that froze the globe, you will witness the specific mechanisms that dismantled entire ecosystems. We explore how ...

After nearly a decade overseas as a war reporter, the acclaimed journalist Dahr Jamail returned to America to renew his passion for mountaineering, only to find that the slopes he had once climbed have been irrevocably changed by climate disruption. In response, Jamail embarks on a journey to the geographical front lines of this crisis - from Alaska to Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, via the Amazon rainforest - in order to discover the consequences to nature and to humans of the loss of ice.

The rise of human civilization and all of recorded history occurred in this warm period, known as the Holocene. Until very recently, we had no detailed record of climate changes during the Holocene. Now we do. In this engrossing and captivating look at the human effects of climate variability, Brian Fagan shows how climate functioned as what the historian Paul Kennedy described as one of the “deeper transformations” of history—a more important historical factor than we understand.

Ralph and Anna Eldred are an exemplary couple, devoting themselves to doing good. 30 years ago as missionaries in Africa, the worst that could happen did. Shattered by their encounter with inexplicable evil, they returned to England, never to speak of it again. But when Ralph falls into an affair, Anna finds no forgiveness in her heart, and 30 years of repressed rage and grief explode, destroying not only a marriage but also their love, their faith, and everything they thought they were.

In 2018, lumps of frozen soil, collected from the bottom of the world's first deep ice core and lost for decades, reappeared in Denmark. When geologist Paul Bierman and his team first melted a piece of this unique material, they were shocked to find perfectly preserved leaves, twigs, and moss. That observation led them to a startling discovery: Greenland's ice sheet had melted naturally before, about 400,000 years ago.

Although hints of a crisis appeared as early as the 1570s, the temperature by the end of the 16th century plummeted so drastically that Mediterranean harbors were covered with ice, birds literally dropped out of the sky, and "frost fairs" were erected on a frozen Thames - with kiosks, taverns, and even brothels that become a semi-permanent part of the city. Recounting the deep legacy and far-ranging consequences of this "Little Ice Age", acclaimed historian Philipp Blom reveals how the European landscape had subtly, but ineradicably, changed by the mid-17th century.

The ice sheets and glaciers that cover one-tenth of Earth's land surface are today in grave peril. High in the Alps, Andes, and Himalaya, once-indomitable glaciers are retreating, even dying. Meanwhile, in Antarctica, thinning glaciers may be unlocking vast quantities of methane stored for millions of years beneath the ice. In Ice Rivers, renowned glaciologist Jemma Wadham offers a searing personal account of glaciers and the rapidly unfolding crisis that they - and we - face.
