500 million years of climate change Ice core data for the past 400,000 years, with the present at right. Note length of glacial cycles averages ~100,000 years. Blue curve is temperature, green curve is CO 2, and red curve is windblown glacial dust (loess). Scale: Millions of years before present, earlier dates approximate.
This differs from paleoclimatology which encompasses climate change over the entire history of Earth. These historical impacts of climate change can improve human life and cause societies to flourish, or can be instrumental in civilization's societal collapse. The study seeks to define periods in human history where temperature or precipitation ...

Recent evidence indicates that humans processed (gathered) and consumed wild cereal grains as far back as 23,000 years ago. [1] c. 20,000 BC: Antarctica sees a very rapid and abrupt 6 °C increase in temperatures [2] c. 19,000 BC: Last Glacial Maximum/sea-level minimum: c. 20,000 BC c. 12,150 BC Mesolithic 1 period c. 17,000 BC c. 13,000 BC
They found no evidence of a lasting shift in climate some 150,000 years later. “What is remarkable about our results is that there was no real change following the impacts.
A pattern of political and financial motivation, and a lack of understanding of the geography and ecology of the Everglades have plagued the history of drainage projects. The Everglades are a part of a massive watershed that originates near Orlando and drains into Lake Okeechobee, a vast and shallow lake. As the lake exceeds its capacity in the ...
Except, she said, for humans. Alongside the state’s annual Python Challenge, Florida pays about a hundred contractors to try and kill the snakes year round, a program that began in 2017.
