Accordingly, there is little or no change in the frequency of extreme temperature events as a whole.
But it requires a huge amount of energy to change the temperature quickly, and the temperature isn't always precisely uniform across all the samples in the instrument.
Just to change the example, think of temperature.
FORBES: The Amazing Thing About American Inequality: How Equal The Country Is
However, I fully agree with Tom's comment that we don't want to do anything to "steal the thunder" from ongoing efforts to improve sonde-based estimates of atmospheric temperature change, and to better quantify structural uncertainties in those estimates.
Several of America's wealthiest and best-organised foundations have raised the temperature by making climate change one of their big issues.
The hardware will log your pet's footsteps, amount of shivering plus temperature change, and upload it automatically via your smartphone or PC.

The original draft contained a plot of latitude and historical temperature change.
Warnings that we may face civilisation-threatening temperature change by the end of the century, once considered outlandish, are now coming out of mainstream research groups.
Climate sensitivity is how much will the temperature change over a doubling of atmospheric CO2 (more strictly, CO2-e, taking account of methane and all the other gasses and converting them to CO2 equivalents).
FORBES: Lower Climate Sensitivity Means That Climate Change Becomes A Much Cheaper Problem To Solve
Diving in from a pier or a jetty causes too sudden a change in temperature and is exactly the kind of stressor that could trigger a heart attack.
Was this fluctuation real, or was it merely a glitch in the equipment used to measure the decay, induced by the change of seasons, with the accompanying changes in temperature and humidity?
FORBES: Radioactive Decay Rates May Not Be Constant After All
We can suspect, for example, that the UK might suffer due to shutting down the Gulf Stream, but there would be thousands of other changes caused by the change in temperature, salinity, and acidity levels.

Since what matters is not just the absolute temperature level but the rate of change as well, it makes sense to try to slow down the increase.
Most anthropogenerated climate change is mediated through changes in the two basic variables of temperature and precipitation.
FORBES: Countdown To Climate Change: It's Only 297 Years Away!
That brought a sharp change of tack a year ago, after the expulsion from Georgia of several Russians accused of spying had raised the temperature again.
As it currently stands, the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change has set a target of limiting the rise in global mean temperature to 2C (3.6F) above pre-industrial levels.
Today Argo provides the first-ever global-scale, all-weather subsurface observations of the oceans, an unprecedented dataset for researchers studying the temperature, salinity, and circulation of the global oceans and how these change over periods ranging from days to decades.
If this were to change, and the Earth became unstable, then parts of the world could experience much greater temperature swings than we are used to through any given year, with freezing Arctic temperatures in winter followed by blazing hot temperatures in summer.
Configurable triggers such as removal or tampering of the drive, removal of device from a resting GPS point, cellular telephone call, or even a change in temperature will release a "chemical mist" into the drive (not the computer) destroying it layer by layer.

Many students of climate change argue that, although the artificial release of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide works to raise the global temperature, particulate pollution should, by promoting cloud cover and thus reflecting solar energy back into space, have a compensating cooling effect.
Shown in the nearby graph is the measured annual temperature of the earth since 1989, just before the first report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
