EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE FOR GLOBAL CLIMATE CHANGE
Some of the more significant data sources for climatic
change are briefly described here with some indication of
the time periods for which they are relevant.
This section is based on on material in
Cordell '84
and
Sutcliffe '85.
Evidence for climatic change may be conveniently divided into
geological evidence
and
biological evidence.
