Hintergrund im Standard zu den erhöhten Oberfächentemperaturen der Ozeane. Besonders betroffen sind auch Mittelmeer und Adria. https://www.derstandard.at/story/2000145933708/ozeane-brechen-temperaturrekorde-und-stellen-fachleute-vor-raetsel

Die durchschnittliche Oberflächentemperatur der Ozeane erreicht Anfang April mit 21,1° einen neuen Höchstwert. Die Temperaturen sind seit 1980 nahezu linear gestiegen. In diesem Jahr dürften sie durch das El Niño-Phänomen noch weiter ansteigen, sodass u.a. mehr marine Hitzewellen zu befürchten sind. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2023/apr/08/headed-off-the-charts-worlds-ocean-surface-temperature-hits-record-high

Coernicus-Daten zum Sommer

Prognosen für Klima und Wetter in Frankreich 2050 in einer 2°-Welt. Der Meteorologe Robert Vautard erwartet Temperaturspitzen von bis zu 50° auch im Norden und die Verhâltnisse von 2022 fast als Normalfall.

Die Rekordtemperaturen in UK in diesen Sommer wurden durch die globale Erhitzung 160 Mal so wahrscheinlich gemacht wir vor der Industrialisierung. Mit ähnlichen Temperaturen ist jetzt alle drei bis vier Jahre zu rechnen, am Ende des Jahrhunderts bei einem mittleren Emissions-Szenario jährlich.

Wenn die Temperaturen bis 2100 um 4 Grad steigen, werden ca. 40% des antarktischen Schelfeises mit hoher Wahrscheinlichkeit kollabieren.

Figure 6.1.4 : Temperature versus heat. The system is constructed so that no vapor evaporates while ice warms to become liquid water, and so that, when vaporization occurs, the vapor remains in the system. The long stretches of constant temperatures at 0oC and 100oC reflect the large amounts of heat needed to cause melting and vaporization, respectively.

Historical evaluations of the validity of the intra-specific Bergman's Rule as a pattern.

Excellent history of the use of different taxonomic levels for Bergman's Rule.

Interesting, because a snowy mountain is also a fairly desolate place (dead trees/plants, deadly stillness or harsh wind, untouched landscape, etc), but it is seen as beautiful instead of distasteful like the wasteland that Eliot describes.
