Je découvre l'univers et le projet de la maison d'édition #Abrüpt @cestabrupt, en tombant un peu par hasard sur un extrait de Qatar des morts de Laurent Margantin disponible en "antilivre".

L'expérience format html, interactive et immersive, vaut le détour :

#气候剧变 #Abrupt climate change

指气候因外力产生的剧烈变化。历史上有过的气候剧变有: the end of the Carboniferous Rainforest Collapse,[3] Younger Dryas,[4] Dansgaard-Oeschger events, Heinrich events and possibly also the Paleocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum.[5]

Timescales of events described as 'abrupt' may vary dramatically. Changes recorded in the climate of Greenland at the end of the Younger Dryas, as measured by ice-cores, imply a sudden warming of +10 °C (+18 °F) within a timescale of a few years.[7]
以younger Dryas为例,格林兰岛上的记录显示在YD末期气温在数年间上升了10°C
Other abrupt changes are the +4 °C (+7.2 °F) on Greenland 11,270 years ago[8] or the abrupt +6 °C (11 °F) warming 22,000 years ago on Antarctica.[9] By contrast, the Paleocene-Eocene thermal maximum may have initiated anywhere between a few decades and several thousand years
与之相对的,古新世-始新世的最高记录则在几十年到几千年之间
