Resumen
El hiato del calentamiento global entre 1998-2012 fue un artefacto de diferentes datos y definiciones. La absorción de calor del océano y la variabilidad natural explican la desaceleración, confirmando que la actividad humana impulsa el cambio climático a largo plazo.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Ciencias del clima
- Ciencias del Sistema Terrestre
- Ciencias del medio ambiente
Sus antecedentes:
- El período comprendido entre 1998 y 2012 vio una desaceleración percibida en el calentamiento global de la superficie, denominado el "hiato del calentamiento global". Este hiato generó escepticismo público con respecto a la comprensión del cambio climático antropogénico y la variabilidad climática natural.
- Las negociaciones políticas para la mitigación del cambio climático ocurrieron durante este período, haciendo que la aparente desaceleración del calentamiento fuera un punto importante de discusión pública y científica.

01:50Global Climate Change
29.2K
Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.

01:14The Carbon Cycle
44.7K
Carbon is the basis of all organic matter on Earth, and is recycled through the ecosystem in two primary processes: one in which carbon is exchanged among living organisms, and one in which carbon is cycled over long periods of time through fossilized organic remains, weathering of rocks, and volcanic activity. Human activities, including increased agricultural practices and the burning of fossil fuels, has greatly affected the balance of the natural carbon cycle.

01:16What is Climate?
21.1K
Climate refers to the prevailing weather conditions in a specific area over an extended period. As the saying goes, “Climate is what you expect. Weather is what you get.” Climate is influenced by geographic factors, such as latitude, terrain, and proximity to bodies of water.

01:50Threats to Biodiversity
27.5K
There have been five major extinction events throughout geological history, resulting in the elimination of biodiversity, followed by a rebound of species that adapted to the new conditions. In the current geological epoch, the Holocene, there is a sixth extinction event in progress. This mass extinction has been attributed to human activities and is thus provisionally called the Anthropocene. In 2019 the human population reached 7.7 billion people and is projected to comprise 10 billion by...

Every organism has an optimum temperature range within which healthy growth and physiological functioning can occur. At the ends of this range, there will be a minimum and maximum temperature that interrupt biological processes.

02:56The Fossil Record
27.8K
The fossil record documents only a small fraction of all organisms that have ever inhabited Earth. Fossilization is a rare process, and most organisms never become fossils. Moreover, the fossil record only exhibits fossils that have been discovered. Nevertheless, sedimentary rock fossils of long-lived, abundant, hard-bodied organisms dominate the fossil record. These fossils offer valuable information, such as an organism's physical form, behavior, and age. Studying the fossil record helps...
