Global warming, describes the current rise in the average temperature of Earth´s air and oceans.
Global warming is often described as the most recent example of climate change.
Earth´s climate has changed many times.Our planet has gone through multiple ice ages,in chich ice sheets and glaciers covered large portions os the Earth.It has also gone through warm periods when temperatures were higher than they are today.
Past changes in Earth´s temperature happened very slowly,over hundreds of thousand of years.
However, the recent warming trend is happening much faster than it ever has.Natural cycles of wrming and cooling are not enough to explain the amount of warming we have experienced in such a short time-only human activities can account for it.Scientists worry thah the climate is changing faster than some living things can adapt to it.
Im 1988,the World Meteorological Organization and the United Nations Environment Programme established a committe of climatologists,metereologists,geographers,and other scientists from around the world.This intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) includes thousands of scientists who review the most up-to-date research available related to global warming and climate change.The IPCC evalutates the risk of climate change caused by human activities.

Paleontology
Paleontology is the study os the history of life on Earth as bases on fossils.Fossils are the remains of plants,animals,fungi,bacteria, and single-celled living things that have been replaced by rock material or impressions of organisms preserved in rock.
Paleontologists use fossil remains to understand different aspects of extinct and living organisms.Individual fossils may contain infomration about an organism’s life and environment.Much like the rings of a tree, for example,each ring on the surface of an oyster lived,and in what conditions.If the climate was favorable for the oyster, the oyster probably grew more quickly and the rings would be thicker.If the oyster struggled for survival,the rings would be thinner.Thinner rings would indicate an environment not favorable to organisms like the oyster-too warm or too cold, for example, or lacking nutrients necessary for them to grow.

N.Y jet crash called “miracle of the Hudson”
Officials say all of the 155 passengers and crew members are safe
NEW YORK-With both engines out, a cool-headed pilot maneuvered his crowded jetliner over New York City and ditched it in the frigid Hudson River on Thursday, and all 155 on board were pulled to safety as the plane slowly sank.It was,the governor said,”a miracle on the Hudson.”One victim suffered two broken legs,a paramedic said,but there were no other reports of serious injuries.
The plane, a US Airways Airbus A320 bound for Charlotte,N.C,struck a flock of birds during takeoff minutes earlier at LaGuardia Airport and was submerged up to its windows in the river bye the time rescuers arrives in Coast Guard vessels and ferries.Some passengers waded in water up yo their knees,standing on the wing of the plane and waiting for help.
“He was phenomenal,”passenger Joe Hart said.”He landed it-I tell you what-the impact wasn’t a whole lot more than a rear-end (collision).It threw you into the seat ahead of you.
“Both engines cut out and he actually floated it into the river,”he added.
In a city still wounded from the aerial attack on the World Trade Center,authorities were quick to assure the public that terrorism wasn’t involved.
Police divers had to rescue some of the passengers from underwater,Mayor Michael Bloomberg said.
Among those on board was one infant who appeared to be fine, the mayor said.
Helen Rodriguez, a paramedic who was among the first to arrive at the scene,said she saw one woman with two broken legs.Fire officials said ithers were evaluated for hypothermia,bruises and other minor injuries.
“We had a miracle on 34th Street.I believe now we have had a miracle on the Hudson,”Gov.David Paterson said.
The crash took place on a 20-degree day,one of the coldest of the season in New York.The water temperature was 36 degrees,Coast Guard Lt.Commander Moore said. He estimates that hypothermia can hit within five to eight minutes at that temperature.
“Brace for impact”
“The captain said,Brace for impact because we´re going down.”passenger Jeff Kolodjay said.H e said passengers put their heads in their laps and started praying.He said the plane hit the water pretly hard,but he was fine.
The pilot was identified as Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger of Danville,Calif.
“It was intense.It was intense.Ypu’ve got to give it to the pilot.He made a hell of a landing,”Kolodjay said.
“He is the consummate pilot,”his wife,Lorrie Sullenberger, told the New York Post.Sullenberger is an U.S Air Force Academy grad who flew F-4 fighter planes while in the Air Force,she said.
“He is about performing that airplane to the exact precision to wich it is made.”
Sullenberger is an airline safety expert who has consulted with NASA and others,according to his,resume posted on the Internet.He has 40 years of experience, 29 with US Airways,and hold masters degrees in public administration and industrial psychology.
“It was intense.It was intense.You’ve got to give it to the pilot.He made a hell of a landing,”Kolodjay said.
Another passenger,Fred Berretta,who was on his way home to Charlotte from a business trip,told CNN doors were opened on both sides of the plane “as soon as we hit the water.”
Witnesses said the plane´s pilot appeared to guide the plane down.Bob Read, a television producer who saw the crash from his office window,said it appeared to be a “controlled descent”
Paramedics treated at least 78 patients,fire officials said.Coast Guard boats rescued were shivering and wrapped in white blankets,their feet and legs soaked.
One commuter ferry,the Thomas Jefferson odf the company NY Waterway,arrived within minutes of the crash,and some of its own riders grabbed life vests and lines of rope and tossed them to plane passengers in the water.
Panicked people
“They were cheering when we pulled up”,ferry captain Vincent Lombardi.”We had to pull and elderly woman out of a raft in a sling.She was crying...People were panicking.They said,hurry up,hurry up.”
Two police scuba divers said they pulled another woman from a lifeboat “frightened out of her mind” and lethargic from hypothermia.Another woman fell off a rescue raft,and the divers said they swam over and put her on a Coast Guard boat.
US Airways Flight 1549 took off at 3:26 pm It was less than a minute later when the pilot reported a “double bird strike” and said he needed to return to LaGuardia, said Doug Church, a spokesman for the National Air Traffic Controllers Association.He said the controller told the pilot to divert to an airport in nearby Teterboro,N.J.
It was not clear why the pilot did not land at Teterboro.Church said there was no mayday call from the plane’s transponder.The plane splashed into the water off roughly 48th Street in midtown Manhattan-one if the busiest and most closely watched stretches or the river.
IS Airways CEO Doug Parker confirmed that 150 passengers,three flight attendants ant two pilots were on board the jetliner.
Bank of America and Wells Fargo said they had employees on the plane.Charlotte is a major banking center.
