However, as the evolution of the climate is not linear, there is no certainty that beyond a global warming of 2 °C climatic runaway will not occur, in response to phenomena still poorly appreciated such as increased CO2 and methane emissions into the atmosphere caused by melting permafrost or the collapse of the Antarctic ice caps. 3, record 1, English, - evolution%20of%20the%20climate

Justicia climática es un término utilizado para denominar al calentamiento global como un problema ético y político, más allá de solo un problema ambiental o físico en la naturaleza. Esto se hace relacionando los efectos del cambio climático con conceptos de justicia, particularmente justicia ambiental y justicia social, y examinando problemáticas tales como igualdad, los derechos humanos, los derechos colectivos y la responsabilidad histórica por el cambio climático. Un problema fundamental de la justicia climática es que aquellos menos responsables del cambio climático son quienes sufren sus peores consecuencias. 1, record 2, Spanish, - justicia%20clim%C3%A1tica

Recent scientific evidence suggests that evolutionary adaptive capacity(the ability to adapt to changing environments via evolutionary processes; EVAC) can actually occur over shorter time periods than originally thought and the tools to measure and predict evolutionary changes are becoming increasingly available. However, accounting for EVAC in climate change vulnerability assessments and adaptation planning is uncommon and resource managers often make decisions without considering the potential evolution of species. 2, record 7, English, - evolutionary%20adaptive%20capacity

The objective of the Polar Orbiting Earth Observation(Poem-1) is to develop and build a new satellite platform to accommodate Earth Observation Instruments and supply them with the necessary energy. It is important to build a satellite platform because the lifetime of a satellite is limited and because the continuity of measurements, which is of primary importance to monitor the evolution of our environment and potential climate change, can be ensured only by flying a succession of satellites. 1, record 8, English, - Polar%20Orbiting%20Earth%20Observation%20Mission
