Senator Ian Campbell contended that Australian scientists are in the forefront of building an understanding of climate change and that they are making a world class contribution to the global understanding of climate change. Campbell stresses the need to increase one's knowledge how the earth is ...
I received plenty of critical replies to my argument that Australians should take climate action more seriously. The most common rebuttal was that Australians were right to focus on other issues at the ballot box because Australia's contribution to global climate change is small anyway. ...

Beyond its contribution to climate change, human activity is leading to other environmental changes including biodiversity loss, freshwater depletion and contamination, damage to coastal reefs, ocean acidification and toxic pollution of ecosystems. In 2015, the Rockefeller Foundation‐Lancet Commission on ...
In this study, we will focus on the climate modes associated with the contribution of semi-arid regions of Australia to fluctuations in the global C cycle in general, and to the 2011 global land C sink anomaly and preceding droughts in particular. Weather across Australia is controlled to ...
After all, it is nations that negotiate climate agreements, and their policies are substantially responsible for the contribution their citizens make to the problem of climate change. But the impact of carbon majors is now so large, we must make the case for holding them responsible for the con...
In any case their contribution to the whole is much less than the first two. In the case of methane emissions, reductions now are really only of benefit if over the longer term CO2 emissions are also managed. If aggressive CO2 mitigation begins early, and is maintained until emissions are ...
Sea change threatened by climate change The article focuses on the contribution of the changing climate to rising sea levels. The rise in concentrations of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases results in global warming and other changes in the Earth's climate. It details ... J Church,N ...
