The fossil record suggests an enormous amount of biodiversity in the ages like the Eocene (jungles worldwide). Also, one time in the Campanian (starting 77,500,000 years ago for approx. 3,000,000 years), North America’s diversity of large dinosaurs exploded, and this correlates with a temperature rise.

The ICCC (International Conference on Climate Change) seems to be run by the Heartland Institute even though they don’t say so on the conference’s website. Naomi Klein and other well-known journalists say the conference is a farce. Why is it affiliated with the University of Washington this year? Who could give me a good answer about this? I need to know because I thought the ICCC was a real conference, and was planning to present there.

The realized niche is a subset of the characteristics of the fundamental niche, as a result of competition from another species, or just plain not having all of the characteristics of the fundamental niche in the local environment.
As such, the realized niche is going to fluctuate if the population(s) of the competitors fluctuate(s). Or, something like climate change can change the local environment, and change what resources are available at all.

In regards to niche theory- what are the difference between transfer, rule-based, and mechanistic models…. especially in regard to ecological response to climate change?

Why are you so concerned about the planet?
Yes, humans have most certainly contributed to countless atrocities against the natural world. Overpopulation, destruction of tropical and temperate forests and/or rainforests, smog, excessive greenhouse gasses, the Pacific garbage patch, animal extinctions, etc etc etc.
(The thing about greenhouse gasses, however….is that they’re produced naturally, both on Earth and on Venus! We may be adding to them, but they’d certainly be around. Life seemed to be just fine during the years of primordial Earth!)
BUT, we have to keep in mind that the ozone CAN repair itself. The problem is that we’re just ripping it apart too quickly. The whole stuff about the magnetic poles…well, they CONSTANTLY reverse themselves naturally over thousands of years.
The planet has warmed and cooled itself without human interference of any kind on several occasions.
Is it sad that the ice caps are melting? Yes. Is it sad that polar bears are being stranded? Yes. But frankly, dozens of seals die in the artic when ice freezes over and they have to create little niches of air for them to breathe until the ice thaws. That’s just natural. I’m sure those images of sad polar bears on floating ice caps is an occurrence that happened long before we began to turn an eye to global warming. I’ve even heard that polar bear numbers are increasing.
That being said, I’m definitely doing my best to aid conservation efforts. I don’t take this lightly, as I respect all life. But again…I think we need to be realistic.
We’re being short-sighted. Even with the mindset of reversing our mistakes. Polar bears are not going to exist forever, with or without our influence. The climate change isn’t necessarily bad for our planet…it’s bad for US. The natural world will just simply adjust to whatever happens. We’re the ones who get concerned.
Well, what if the planet really is dying, or will die?
Keep in mind that it has a lifespan of less than 5 billion years left. That’s because we have a middle-aged sun. That sun is likely going to expand and burn all life and atmosphere off of our planet…and whatever humans did to help or to harm the environment won’t change a damn thing.
So. I’m compassionate and definitely understand the importance of wildlife and environmental awareness and conservation….I just think that we blame ourselves too much.
What are your thoughts?
(This is put under society and culture because there’s a genuine ‘green’ revolution going on right now. It’s as much of a cultural issue as it is a geological one.)
