    Climate Models Don’t Give Us The Full Story
    (Universidad de los Llanos, 2008-01-01) Bunyard, Peter
    Titulo en español:Modelos del Clima nos han Dado la Historia ImcompletaRESUME:  In the debate about global warming we forget at our peril the role of ecosystems in giving us a climate we can live with. Life co-evolving with our planet over thousands of millions of years has created an envi- ronment apt for millions upon millions of species, from bacteria to the massive whale or towering red- wood trees. In its totality and working together through complex, even endogenous, symbiotic re- lationships, life gives us a relatively stable climate, modifying the amount of heat stored at the Earth’s surface, regulating the clouds that bring rain to the continents, and changing the colour of the Earth so that it differentially absorbs energy from the Sun or on the contrary, reflects it back into space.

    The Role of Ecosystems in Determining Climate: The Special Case of The Amazon Rainforests
    (Universidad de los Llanos, 2008-01-01) Bunyard, Peter
    Titulo en español:  La Importancia de los Ecosistemas en la Determinación del Clima: Caso Especial los Bosques de la AmazoniaRESUME:The summer floods in England, following deluges of rain more resonant of the Amazon, the searing, deadly heat in Southern Europe, with temperatures at times exceeding 45°C, should be enough to silence those who stalwartly maintain that we are experiencing no more than natural swings in climate. Those scep- tics, who have insisted that long term changes in the Earth’s orbit as well as in the flux of sunlight are accountable for the extreme weather and global warm- ing, have basically been routed.
