Given the slow rate of progress in climate change adaptation for health reasons, it may be better to ‘frame’ the consequences of emissions with regards to pollution. Success can be found in the US Clean Air Act (and amendments) which has made significant improvements in air pollution over ...
The voting record of politicians on issues related to the environment and climate change almost always goes by party lines. Regardless, it's good to have a ...
Unless climate change adaptation and resilience yields resources to the cause of mitigation, then it accepts criticism of being a temporary, generational, and selfish indulgence. If we gave allegiance only to the present and abandoned the future then the ultimate, ethical act of adaptation would be...

The regional composition of the global population is assumed to change with each population growth scenario. Specifically, the SSP3 scenario used as our baseline scenario exhibits the highest regional population growth rate in Asia, the Middle East and Africa. While the emissions intensities of the ...

While structural factors, such as production systems and financial capital, explain engaging in adaptation to climate change, social and human capital act as enhancing factors that explain proactive adaptation. Future policies on adaptation behavior should focus on promoting proactive forms of adaptation ...
Climate change is going to become even more of public concern. As stated from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) in the Special Report ‘Global Warming of 1.5 °C’, which will be included in the 2022 AR6 Synthesis Report: “Human activities are estimated to have caused ap...
finite systems, such as the Earth, will cycle to new states of equilibrium over time, as conditions change. While we would like to defeat Earth’s tendency in this regard, it is not at all clear that we can. Part of this cycling to a new state is likely to be a change in climate...
to be policy relevant in context of the 1992 UNFCCC Treaty to prevent “dangerous anthropogenic climate change.” People don’t normally pay much attention to what is going at the UN; this changed circa 2006/2007 with Al Gore’s Inconvenient Truths and the IPCC AR4 and the Nobel Peace ...
