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, ...
Ellenberg’s indicator values over the last 120 years evidenced a shift toward shade-tolerant species, mainly connected to the increased presence of parks and trees within the city. Climate change and the presence of artificially irrigated areas within the city has led to an increase in both hygr...
To fulfill its commitment to the Paris Agreement on climate change, China will cut its carbon emissions per unit ofGDPby 60 to 65 percent by 2030 from the 2005 levels, increase non-fossil fuel sources in primary energy consumption to about 20 percent, and peak its carbon emissions by 2030....
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
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...

3. Dairy SECTOR’S contribution to climate change Based on the 26 studies obtained from the literature search, this section aims to analyse the main sources along the dairy value chain that contribute to climate change, even when the motivation behind the studies remains wide variable. For instan...
Alternatively, climate change may have indeed been the primary driving force behind the extinctions, with humans playing no significant role, or perhaps at most performing a coup de grâce on megafauna populations already heading towards extinction. Two key climatic events are often emphasised in the...
Nine in ten major outages in the US have been caused by hurricanes. Long-term outage risk is a function of climate change-triggered shifts in hurricane frequency and intensity; yet projections of both remain highly uncertain. However, outage risk models do not account for the epistemic uncertaint...
