Countries thus prefer to free-ride on the emissions abatement (i.e., reduction of emissions) of others over reducing their own emissions8,9. The implied tragedy is that if countries pursue their own interests in this way, everyone will be worse off than if they had cooperated and acted in...
Planet Earth can be saved if we all throw out our 2-10-year-old appliances that are in perfect working condition. That’s the Science according to the New York Times…“The Climate Fight Will Be Won in the Appliance Aisle”(Oct 1, 2023): Two of these [Inflation Reduction Act] program...
Each is a grant program that would be administered by state energy offices according to parameters set by the U.S. Department of Energy. States would have to apply for the grants, worth $8.8 billion total. Financial benefits for consumers would vary by their income level and energy savi...
Time-dependent emission estimates are crucial for evaluating success of emission reduction strategies, and identifying trends in natural exchange processes can further understanding of how natural processes respond to climate change. The 3rd US National Climate Assessment pointed to a need for a system ...
G1L-MME and G3H-MME show a consistent reduction of cold nights and days over all the regions, reaching the greatest magnitude near the Equator over NSA and NWS regions (< − 6.6% for TN10p and < − 5.7 for TX10p), and over the CAR region (< − 6.7% for TN10p...
andM. eachamensisface >92% reduction (RCP8.5 projections). As the cooler upland climatic niche retreats, it is unclear to what extent pure and hybrid NER populations might either persist or be replaced completely byM. splendida. Translocating pure populations of upland species outside their curren...
The EPA calculated that new trucks would save operators a total of $3.5 billion in fuel and other costs from 2027 to 2032, paying for themselves in two to four years. The 2022 Inflation Reduction Act also provides tax credits that subsidize the purchase price of new electric vehicle...
and an US$18 million grant from the Asian Development Fund (ADF) to improve the resilience, inclusiveness, and sustainability of water supply and sanitation services in the Federated States of Micronesia. The ADF provides grants to the bank’s lower-income DMCs to promote poverty reduction and ...
Under all scenarios of MRI-ESM-2.0, the reduction of rainfall is expected to reach 0.1–15% (2040s) and 0.02–17% (2070s), respectively. Projection of climatic variables Figures 8 and 9 showed the variations in average climatic variables (tasmax, tasmin, and precipitation) of all ...
We modelled the data with Poisson, negative binomial and Hermite regressions and based statistical decisions on negative binomial models because of a significant reduction in overdispersion of residuals in comparison with the Poisson model, and no additional improvement provided by the Hermite model (...
