The Long-Standing Mystery of Climate Change Resolved
Written by AZoCleantechJan 28 2021
According to a study under the guidance of Rutgers University, the main mystery behind climate change has been resolved by the researchers, which shows that the current yearly global temperature is the warmest of the last 10,000 years in contrast to recent research.

The study has been published in the journal
Nature.
The long-term mystery is known as the “Holocene temperature conundrum,” with few skeptics claiming that climate model forecasts of future warming must be incorrect. The researchers add that their results will contradict the long-held opinions on the temperature history in the Holocene era, which started around 12,000 years ago.
The long-standing mystery is called the “Holocene temperature conundrum,” with some skeptics contending that climate model predictions of future warming must be wrong. The scientists say their findings will challenge long-held views on the temperature history in the Holocene era, which began about 12,000 years ago.
“Our reconstruction shows that the first half of the Holocene was colder than in industrial times due to the cooling effects of remnant ice sheets from the previous glacial period – contrary to previous reconstructions of global temperatures,” said lead author Samantha Bova, a postdoctoral researcher associate in the lab of co-author Yair Rosenthal, a Distinguished Professor in the Department of Marine and Coastal Sciences and Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at Rutgers University–New Brunswick. “The late Holocene warming was indeed caused by the increase in greenhouse gases, as predicted by climate models, and that eliminates any doubts abou

Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the world. The number of deaths and incidences is increasing each year. The metal-based anticancer drugs were used clinically worldwide, but suffer from poor selectivity, serious side effects and drug resistance. Tumor-targeting drug development is the basis for precise cancer treatment.
Recently, Professor Hongke Liu of Nanjing Normal University, Professor Jing Zhao and Academician Zijian Guo of Nanjing University have made breakthrough achievements in anticancer drug development. They proposed a bio-orthogonally catalyzed lethality (BCL) strategy (Figure 1) and published their results in National Science Review (National Science Review, NSR). The BCL strategy uses tumors as manufacturing factories to generate a highly potential tumor-targeted drug Ru-rhein, which can selectively kill cancer cells and tumors in tumor-bearing mice, while no toxicity on normal cells. BCL strategy generates targeting dr

Andrea Barrica grew up in Folsom, California, a first-generation American in a Filipino immigrant household that she describes as religious and conservative. That background perhaps makes one of her best-known achievements seem unlikely: she is the founder of O.school, a virtual clearinghouse based in San Francisco that provides sex education for women and the LGBTQ community. Its overarching concerns include how sex education can be freed from shame and offered without judgment and how sexual wellness can be promoted through accurate, up-to-date information. Barrica attended Bard College at Simon’s Rock, an “early college” in Massachusetts from which she went on to attend Nanjing Normal University, in China, and the University of California at Berkeley, where she earned a degree in linguistics at the age of 20. Early in her career, Barrica cofounded inDinero.com, an accounting and financial services organization, and worked as a venture capitalist f
