<br/><br/> "How fast can our planet's climate change? Too slowly for humans to notice, according to the firm belief of most scientists through much of the 20th century. Any shift of weather patterns, even the Dust Bowl droughts that devastated the Great Plains in the 1930s, was seen as a temporary local excursion." (PHYSICS TODAY) This article examines a recent theory that global climate change can take place over a relatively short time rather than tens of thousands of years.
