Analyzing how the planet’s climate system has changed in the past improves our understanding of how it may behave in the future.<br />It is now clear from these studies that abrupt warming events are built into Earth’s climate system. They have occurred when disturbances in carbon storage at Earth’s surface released greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. One of the grand challenges for climate scientists like me is to determine where these releases came from before humans were present, and what triggered them. Importantly, we want to know if such an event could happen again.

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin called the negotiations “constructive”, and that helped calm the financial markets, but there really isn’t any reason to be optimistic at this point. The negotiations that happened this week did not even come close to producing a deal, and neither side is attempting to claim that there will be an agreement in the near future. Instead, it appears that moves are being made that could lead to a protracted trade war. In fact, according to Bloomberg the Trump administration has just given the Chinese another ominous deadline… [more]<br /><br />[when a tactic isn't working, keep doing it until it does ..]<br /><br />Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02819564675299071481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4388504906915444063.post-31464257942595163072019-05-11T07:32:18.404-05:002019-05-11T07:32:18.404-05:00Good morning Jonny, all JJFH readers!
