But now for the first time in his life J.D.R. Jr. was already beginning to explore the meanings of warmer words than confidence. Awkwardly, at the age of 20, he had learned how to dance. "I made up my mind that I had to conquer my shyness. I had to get a measure of social ease," he wrote home to his mother, who frowned on dancing. He began calling upon...
After 8000 B.C.. the climate grew steadily warmer, melting the remnants of ice. Warmth-demanding plants (e.g., oak, elm and alder) invaded the Britannic Peninsula. New animals and new tribes of men trooped across the marshes. The climate was probably almost as warm as today. "A bit chillier," hazards Dr. Godwin...
...climate grew still warmer, it melted much bigger masses of ice in Siberia and North America. The water released raised the sea level, and the Atlantic Ocean ate its way southward over the "Doggerland" in the basin of the North Sea. By examining peat from the sea bottom, Dr. Godwin can tell the date when the salt water flowed over each...

Chain of Effects. In the future, if the blanket of CO2 produces a temperature rise of only one or two degrees, a chain of secondary effects may come into play. As the air gets warmer, sea water will get warmer too, and CO2 dissolved in it will return to the atmosphere. More water will evaporate from the warm ocean, and this will increase the greenhouse effect of the CO2. Each effect will reinforce the other, possibly raising the temperature enough to melt the icecaps of Antarctica and Greenland, which would flood the earth's coastal lands...
