A study of the future global economy has concluded that the standard worst-case scenario used by climate scientists is actually not the worst case. How much the climate will change depends onhow much greenhouse gas we emit, which in turn depends on the choices we make as a society – ...
a taste of some of the concerns being discussed by scholars and policy-makers over the potential impacts of climate change on human population movements, and emphasizes the need for greater involvement by demographers and migration scholars in the field of climate change impact and adaptation ...
means that cumulative impacts occur and accumulate almost every year. Whilst there are slight increases in the severity of the worst years (rank = 1), much more significant are the changes in the middle and benign end of distribution. In the climate change scenarios even the wettest years...
While President Obama has lamented that climate change is a "comparatively slow-moving emergency," the one thing worse is a fast-moving one. Most worrying problems have worst-case scenarios that sweep the globe in a matter of months, days, or even minutes. For climate change, the damage ...
worst-case scenarios of 21stclimate change. Consideration of atmospheric emissions/concentration scenarios, equilibrium climate sensitivity, and sea-level rise illustrate different types of constraints and uncertainties in assessing worst-case outcomes. This approach provides a rationale for distinguishing ...
Mr Trump remains as hostile as ever. The New York Times reports that his administration has told scientists not to include worst-case scenarios of climate change in the next NCA, due before 2022. Some were told not to make any forecasts for changes beyond 2040, when the biggest disruption ...
Therefore, while mitigation of the worst-case climate change scenario still has the potential to reduce Amundsen Sea warming, it will probably not make a difference for several decades. By this time, the impact on some glacier basins of the WAIS could be irreversible, even if ocean temperatures...
Non-experts who reject mainstream science often call scientists “alarmists,” yet most researchers said they tend to shy away from worst case scenarios. By nature, scientists said they are overly conservative. In nearly every case, when scientists were off the mark on something, it was by ...
Land use change and deforestation can influence local temperature and climate. Here we use a coupled ocean-atmosphere model to assess the impact of savannization of the Amazon Basin on the wet-bulb globe temperature heat stress index under two climate change scenarios (RCP4.5 and RCP8.5). We ...
The Contribution of Human Rights as an Additional Perspective on Climate Change Impacts within the Pacific It proposes an international framework that ensures, in the worst-case scenario, that affected individuals are relocated and resettled within other states. ... Tully,Stephen 被引量: 6发表: 20...
