Here, we use extreme event attribution to assess the role of climate change in exacerbating this drought, going on to evaluate sensitivity of synchronous crop failures to climate change and its implications for food security in Lesotho. Climate change was found to be a critical driver that led ...
combination with a large trade‑dependency on a climatically connected trading partner can lead to a nonlinear response to climate change, which is essential information for building a climate‑resilient food‑supply system now and in the future.Globally, two billion people are subject to moderat...
[1] To probe if greenhouse-effected climate warming strengthens severe locust outbreaks that would cause continental-scale crop failures in China, we studied their statistical relationships in history and examined the impacts of climate change on the long-term locust outbreaks. According to analysis fo...

called “A meta-analysis of crop yield under climate change and adaptation.” I’ll refer to that one as C14. But C14 and M17 had different implications about the impact of CO2-induced warming on crop yields. In the C14 model CO2 fertilization offsets the damage from warming, whereas in ...
6) However, a major reduction in fossil CO2 emissions was achieved by replacing coal fired synchronous electricity generation with nuclear synchronous electricity generation. CLIMATE CHANGE MITIGATION SUMMARY: In summary, stopping thermal runaway requires: a) Immediate halting of investment in new dedicate...
changes in solar, orbital, and volcanic activity. This is visible for instance during the Crusader period (1095–1290 CE), when the MPI-ESM-P model shows a general drying trend in the Central and Eastern Mediterranean, whereas the CCSM4 model does not reveal a long term change for these ...
Weather and climate extremes have become more frequent and more intense under anthropogenic climate change. Such extremes have broad implications on a multitude of sectors, ranging from human health and social (in)justice to biodiversity and ecosystem loss. Further, many of those impacts are felt di...
Spatially compounding extremes pose substantial threats to globally interconnected socio-economic systems. Here we use multiple large ensemble simulations of the high-emissions scenario to show increased risk of compound droughts during the boreal summer
