With this sample in hand, we will explore the many climates of such worlds.
The behavior of explosive volcanoes relates mostly to other factors, he said, and the climate effects of such eruptions tend to last months to years, rather than the 40,000-to-100,000 year timescale of glacial-interglacial cycles.
This would have brought about climate change of such proportions that what we have today would have seemed negligible.
At the same time, it's important to think about the ways that, in a climate of fear, such lessons can be overlearned.
But there are grounds for hope, too.The most important one is that, in the more peaceful political climate of countries such as Tunisia and Egypt, Arabs have, for the first time, subjected Islamists to practical tests of government.

Mr. Dal Col complained that in the current climate, the impact of such spots -- well within the boundaries of fairness, in his view -- is muted by the loud, righteous protests from the other side.
This is particularly important for the analysis of aspects of climate variability, such as distributions of daily wind speed or climate extremes.
In warmer climates, of course, such a strategy would drastically increase cooling needs during the summer; appropriate siting strategies would therefore include the use of increased natural shading.
In the political climate of 1940s America, such activities meant Chaplin was considered, as Larcher writes, "dangerously progressive and amoral".
