China’s carbon sinks from land-use change underestimated The terrestrial carbon flux—sources and sinks—under land-use change (LUC) is difficult to quantify. Here, using a LUC dataset drawing on remote sensing and forest inventory data, the authors show that in China the carbon sink from ...
This shows insane ignorance of climate change impact -- poor planning will be its own reward.. So much superficial happy-talk news media ends up pushing serious news consumers directly to Internet sites and alternative news sources. Serious news consumers reach out for primary sources or aggregate...
Time went on and technology progressed and, by the time we reached the mid-20th century, human activity was pushing climate change forward at an unprecedented rate. While it has been hotly debated, it has been proven that human activities are the primary drivers of climate change. However, ...
This insight may prove useful in terms of guiding adaptation measures to the sources of greatest damage.Fig. 2: The committed economic damages of climate change by sub-national region and climatic component.Estimates of the median projected reduction in sub-national income per capita across emission...
Climate change is a challenge for all of humanity. The sustainable development of the Chinese nation and the future of the planet depend on tackling it successfully. 中国高度重视应对气候变化。作为世界上最大的发展中国家,中...
The major strategy of climate change mitigation aims to reduce global greenhouse emissions, through reduction of energy consumption and the use of fossil fuels, development and expansion of alternative energy sources and energy conservation technologies. Moreover, carbon capture and storage, changes in ...
Urban climate change refers to the changes in the physical environment of cities caused by urbanization, leading to increased temperatures and extreme heat events due to factors like high thermal mass from buildings and heat released from vehicles and air conditioners. ...
Seafood is an important source of bioavailable micronutrients supporting human health, yet it is unclear how micronutrient production has changed in the past or how climate change will influence its availability. Here combining reconstructed fisheries da
since they may underestimate climate change effects. To investigate main sources of uncertainty between model projections, we ran an analysis of variance (ANOVA) for each grid cell and species with respect to the factors algorithm, training dataset (model replicates), RCP and GCM (Fig. S24). ...
“So, the truth is clear: Climate change is real, burning fossil fuels is the primary cause of this crisis and it is urgent that we fix it. This is the first time each of you has told Congress this … and it is significant and important,” Maloney said. Immediately beforehand, she ...
