Ocean- climate links revealed

摘要

An analysis of thousands of datasets to test the link between climate change and changes in biological and physical systems around the world has concluded that man-made global warming is a more significant influence than natural climatic variation, deforestation and land-use changes on natural phenomena such as animal breeding cycles, plant flowering, coastal erosion and ice-melting.rnIn the international study, reported in Nature, NASA's Dr Cynthia Rosenzweig and scientists from 10 other institutions - including Professor David Karoly of the University of Melbourne - analysed data from papers published back to 1970 on changes to 829 physical systems and around 28 800 plant and animal systems.
