Dinosaurs Are The Endotherms-Birds

In the text, a few words were unfamiliar to me. “Climatologists are pessimistic that political leaders will take any positive action…” (737). In this context, the term pessimistic is used as an adjective to see things in a bad way (Webster). “Some scientists proposed radical warming solutions…” (738). The word radical was used as an adjective to mean complete (Webster). “as well as sheep and other cud-chewing animals called

First, the article claims that one reasons for believing that dinosaurs were endotherms is that dinosayrs fossils have been discovered in polar regions. However, the professor refutes this point by saying that when dinosaurs lived in the polar regions, these regions were warm enough to have non endotherm animal to live there. She added that when the climate became cold, dinosaurs migrated or habrinated to a warmer area. As aresult the presence of fossils in polar regions does not approve that

Gould espouses more of the ideology of Williams and Colomb regarding why the theories of dinosaurs being incapable of having children and overdosing on psychoactive plants are entirely without merit. Williams and Colomb say, “we engage one another cooperatively in arguments, we aim not to coerce or seduce others into mindless agreement, but to enlist them into helping us to find the best, most reasonable solution to a shared problem”(67). Williams

It is said that there has been rare and precious Dinosaur bones discovered in the Eromanga sea, this almost proves that Dinosaurs once roamed around the shores. Also many of the significant events in Geological history, over the past 600 million years can be observed at Hallett Cove. Some of the oldest rocks have been found in these seas. The finding of the Ediacaran could potentially mean that there can be dinosaur fossils found in the ocean, or even that relatives of the ediacaran could be considered fossils and could be found in the sea.

In the next few paragraphs, one will see the evidence provided by a variety of archeologists and paleoclimatologists onto how climate change caused the breakdown of the beautiful society.

First, the reading avers that since in cold winter food could hardly found, the edmontosaur used to migrate to high temperature regions looking for plant food. While the professor demonstrates great disapproval to this analysis by stating that the edmontosaur didn't migrate in search of food. He then explains that about a hundred years ago the weather of North Slop was warm enough that let the vegetation grow in summer. How ever the vegetation might be died in winter but

First of all, the passage states that the special kind of dinosaurs , Edmonstosaurus, had to migrate because of finding food to survive, But on the other hand the professor states that in that period of time the weather exchanges were not notable as they are today, and whether the seasons change the vegetation amount didn't vary a lot. Also she noted that even if the vegetables were hard to find in winter, there would be other nutrition available.

First of all, according to the reading, fossils of dinosaur found in the poles provice evidence of the polar dinosaurs. However, the lecture dispute this point. She sais that in the past the polar region was warmer than today. Aditionally, she mention that dinasours could also have migrate to a diferrent region or hybernate during the coldest month of the year.

Insight #1: “This was not just an occasionally very wide variability form year to year but, doubtless with more distressing effects, the wide differences between one group of up to six or eight years and the next.” (Hubert H. Lamb Pg 220). I think this sentence is hugely important in enhancing our understanding of the important role the environment can play in human history. The power of this sentence lies in the fact that it summarizes, what I think is a main point of Lamb’s work. That point is that what seems like a small shift in average temperatures for a certain period of time causes changes in weather that aren’t small at all. In the case of the little ice age, shifts in average temperature resulted in chaotic and antithetical shifts

A great problem in modern science is that growing gap between scientists and the rest of the world. As science becomes more complicated -Paleontology moves from simply digging up fossils to chemically analyzing them with Raman Spectroscopy and physics transitions from the dropping of balls off of buildings to the calculation of satellite trajectories- the public’s ability to comprehend, and more importantly, to enjoy science diminishes. It is not simply that the science is too complex, but that the explanations of real science have failed to capture the audience, leaving tabloids to pick up the slack. Here in lies the problem that Gould discusses, and attempts to solve in his essay, Sex, Drugs, Disasters, and the Extinction of Dinosaurs, because while the public’s ability to understand and enjoy modern science has diminished, our fascination with science hasn’t. Gould solves the problem of exclusionary science and its sensationalized replacements by proving that science, real hard science, can be made interesting to the public, and that furthermore, the scientific process, when revealed to the public, can

First,the writer states that edmontosaurus need to eat plants during the winter so they have to migrate to the temperate places.But the professor argues that the climate was warmer than today's climate and there was sunshine for 24 hours so the plantes were growing very well and there was still so much nutrition in the winter so the edmontosaurus do not need to migrate for food.

            At a time, scientists believed all dinosaurs were cold-blooded.  However, with a recent discovery of a dinosaur found with a fossilized heart in the northern part of South Dakota in 1993, many paleontologists are starting to think that there were some dinosaurs that were warm blooded.

There were over 1,000 different species of dinosaurs (“Dinosaurs”) that lived and evolved for almost 185 million years (“Dinosaur Facts”). Dinosaurs were some of the largest and most mysterious creatures to walk the Earth. Dinosaurs have helped scientists to understand the Earth and it 's past by studying different types, how they lived, their characteristics and what caused their mass extinction.

The Medieval Warm Period (MWP) refers to a relatively warm period lasting from about the 10th to the 14th century.2 However, the initial evidence for the MWP was largely based on data3 gathered from Europe, and more recent analyses indicate that the MWP was not a global phenomenon. A number of reconstructions of millennium-scale global temperatures have indicated that the maximum globally averaged temperature during the MWP was not as extreme as present-day temperatures and that the warming was regional rather than global. Perhaps the most well-known of these is that of Michael Mann and colleagues (Nature, 392, 1998, pg. 779). Their reconstruction produced the so-called “hockey stick” graphic that contributed to this conclusion in the 2001 assessment of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change: “The…'Medieval Warm Period' appear(s) to have limited utility in describing trends in hemispheric or global mean temperature changes in past centuries." The accuracy of the “hockey stick” graphic was widely discussed in the press when the Mann et al. methodology was criticized by McIntyre and McKitrick (Geophys. Res. Lettr, 32, 2005, pg. L03710). Less attention was given to subsequent studies, such as that of Moberg and colleagues (Nature, 433, 2005, pg. 613) and Osborn and Briffa (Science, 311, 2006, pg. 841) that were based on different, independent methodologies but reached conclusions similar to Mann. Observations of melting high altitude glaciers are

Rapid climate change also ends up on the suspect list of possible dinosaur extinction events. During the latter part of the Cretaceous Period continents broke up causing volcanoes to erupt and fill the sky with gas and ash resulting in a drastic climate change (“Dinosaurs Climate Change and Biodiversity”). The shifting of continents changed the Earth’s landscape, altering weather patterns and overall climate (“Dinosaur Extinction Theories”). Also, over a long period of time, climate gradually changed. Ocean habits changed, temperatures grew much more extreme causing scorching summers and frigid winters (Norell, Dingus, and Gaffney). Radical temperature changes like these led to a green-house effect, making life for the dinosaurs a lot
