Climate Change Over the Years There is a significant amount of historical evidence pointing to episodes of climate change in both distant and recent past. How do we know? Let’s review some geology first.
Glaciation Advancing Glaciers Original State
[object Object],Glaciation in Our Backyard – White Mountains, NH ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Winter Spring
[object Object],[object Object],Glaciation in Our Backyard – White Mountains, NH Crawford Notch
More Evidence of Glaciation Cirques Glacial Through Hanging Valley Horn
[object Object],Recent Changes in Climate ,[object Object]
[object Object],Conclusion: Glaciers are Cyclical ,[object Object],What causes this cyclicality?
[object Object],[object Object],Some Causes of Climate Change These are not related to human activity… ,[object Object],[object Object],June 1991 Mt Pinatubo eruption cooled temperatures in some regions by as much as 0.5 degrees C* *http://vulcan.wr.usgs.gov/Glossary/VolcWeather/description_volcanoes_and_weather.html
