A fascinating article, which I recommend to anyone interested in our changing climate or modern geopolitics:
“The Present Climatic Fluctuation” by Hans W. Ahlmann (namesake of the Ahlmann Glacier), of the Swedish Geographical Institute, published in The Geographical Journal, Volume 112, No. 4/6, pages 165-193.
This powerfully reasoned and data-rich article makes a strong case for global warming.? Especially noteworthy are his conclusions about the significance of these trends for humanity (see below).
Opening
The present climatic fluctuation has been discussed since the 1920’s almost exclusively in scientific circles, although recently it has become a subject of more than academic interest.? The reason for this is the increasingly obvious consequences of this climatic phenomenon on both physical and biological conditions, in Europe and elsewhere. Ordinary people are beginning to realize that something has happened and is happening which is of great interest to themselves. |
