There is enough evidence that climate change is taking place at the local level in Nigeria. Assessment reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) shows that Nigeria and all the countries wi
but separating out the studies that report on adaptation actions (rather than, for example, vulnerability assessments or studies that model the potential for actions to address climate change or document the barriers that prevent adaptation) is a monumental ...
Because we expected relatively limited understanding of the public health relevance of climate change, we also expected relatively limited public support for a public health response. Given that climate change is a major public health threat, the final objective of this study was to assess which ...
Climate change is having adverse effects on the livelihoods of small-scale populations, particularly in relation to their subsistence practices. Scientific literature widely acknowledges that smallholders must first perceive climate changes to take necessary precautions and adapt to the new conditions. Howeve...
Disclosures of PBE plans pertain to the key value-relevant nonfinancial disclosures that occur frequently in practice (e.g., Nichols 2010; He 2018; He et al. 2019), but little is known about how the opportunistic incentives of managers shape the choice of such nonfinancial disclosures. To ...
While it is certain that climate change will impact the sector throughout the food supply chain—from farm production to processing operations, storage, transport, retailing and human consumption—large uncertainties remain as to the nature, extent and magnitude of these impacts. These uncertai...
It is important to note that while the discovery of two possible megatsunami deposits associated with possible marine impacts has buttressed the northern ocean case40,41, the ocean hypothesis remains disputed by some researchers. For instance, geophysical deformation models are currently incapable of ...
“I believe in intuitions and inspirations…I sometimes FEEL that I am right. I do not KNOW that I am. “The only real valuable thing is intuition.” ―Albert Einstein. . ALBERT EINSTEINon status quo ignorance and resistance to intelligent, positive change ...
This has raised concern that the rapid growth that these countries have experienced, on the back of high energy consumption rates, is potentially contributing to greenhouse gas emissions and resulting climate change. The combustion of fossil fuels in power plants, vehicles, machinery, and dwellings ...
at the global scale. Since we have attempted to model the influence of temporal patterns, we have considered dealing with spatial rather than temporal autocorrelation; the latter is more valuable in examining the signals of declining forest resilience under climate change39....
