Prof. Emeritus Arie Issar

20 July 2009,
Prof. Emeritus Arie Issar received me and we had a very nice conversation at the Israeli Geological Survey in Jerusalem.
The main output can be summarized as follows:
1) Climate change is a constant. It has been observed and measured with a certain accuracy for the entire Holocene.
2) In the middle east warm weather corresponds to dry seasons. In Europe cold weather correspond to dry seasons.
3) People migration have been largely affected by climate changes. It append and it happens today as well, environmental induced migration.
4) We have to adapt, obviously migration is not an option. Adaptation is the solution.
New habits, new technologies, new production and consumption patterns.
Key words: Paleoclimatology.
He addressed me to the work of: Avram Zangvil, Bruins, Hendrik and Israel Gev.
Thanks to Arie.
