Rising CO 2 may be a selection factor in weed species dominance Climate change means more extreme weather events, greater stresses on native species and ecosystems, and climate-driven activities, such as the introduction of new, hardier pasture and garden plant varieties. Agriculture provides human...
by how much and for how long depends on a number of factors, including the amount of heat-trapping gas emissions and how sensitive the climate is to those emissions. Key Sources This introduction to global climate change explains very briefly what has 800,000 Year Record of Carbon Dioxide Con...

Global projections of macroeconomic climate-change damages typically consider impacts from average annual and national temperatures over long time horizons1–6. Here we use recent empirical findings from more than 1,600 regions worldwide over the past 40
1 Introduction Arctic permafrost is rapidly responding to climate change (Kokelj et al., 2017; Liljedahl et al., 2016; Romanovsky et al., 2017). Between 1990 and 2016, an increase of up to 4 °C has been observed in terrestrial permafrost (Romanovsky et al., 2017), and this trend is...
You don’t need to be a climate scientist to talk about the risks climate change. Introduction Physicians may be hesitant to talk about climate change because they aren’t experts in climate science. In this section, you will find basic information about climate change —what it is, what cau...
Introduction Climate change is a global phenomenon that has become one of the most predominant environmental challenges facing our world today. Natural events and anthropocentric activities are responsible for increasing the negative impacts and risks associated with climate change. Climate change mitigation...
