 The glaciers did not get to go away during one of the periods of greatest warming has been on the planet, which took place during the Upper Cretaceous between 93.5 and 89.3 million years.
The existence of ice sheets, which appeared and disappeared in a short period of time, at a time when the temperature was between 6 and 12 degrees Celsius higher than now, contradicts the general assumption that the poles did not have ice at the time of extreme heat, which is suspected it would happen again in the future if left unchecked, the current global warming.

 Venezuelan glaciers could disappear within just 13 years because of global warming trends continue today. In recent times, there has been a decline rate of nine vertical meters per year.
Tatuy The environmental organization has stated that, based on data from the School of Forestry and Environmental Sciences, University of Los Andes, in the last 30 years the area of glaciers Venezuelans went from 136.8 hectares to 43.1 hectares.

 The Taiwanese press has recently echoed an international classification created by the German nongovernmental organization German Watch and the Climate Action Network (CAN) Europe comparing the performance of different policies against global warming. Taiwan is ranked relatively poorly (47th) , ie slightly above China (52nd) and the United States (53rd) but after countries like the United Kingdom (6th), the Germany (7th) or France (8th).
Taiwan is not a UN member and therefore non-signatory to the Protocol of Kyoto.

U.S. researchers confirm, in a study published this week in Science, that the actual effects of CO2 in the atmosphere are different from those that predict the Kyoto Protocol and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), because they forget to calculate the interaction of gases with aerosols. The new finding would help to improve strategies to curb global warming.
 Researchers from Columbia University in New York (USA) and the Goddard Institute for Space Studies at NASA (USA) have used a computer simulation that links the atmospheric composition and climate. The results show that the interactions between gases and aerosols can alter the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

 According to a recently published British study, the change of route that certain birds are forced to perform because of global warming may cause adverse consequences for these species.
Apparently, the study argue that many migratory birds between Africa and northern Europe, have been required to expand its route.
