The roles of response efficacy and self-efficacy in promoting precautionary actions have also been theoretically and empirically supported in previous studies concerning disasters, such as earthquakes, floods, and wildfires (Bubeck et al. 2013; Martin et al. 2007; Tang and Feng 2018). There are ...
Greenhouse gas emissions are categorized as Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3. Scope 1 emissions are generated from onsite sources such as the process to manufacture steel or the use of company vehicles. Scope 2 emissions are generated offsite. For example, the electricity used to operate a buil...

Imagine you just read a passage focusing on how human evolution shaped the environment.It offers a few examples. First, it talks about how the transition from earlier species such asHomo habilusto neanderthals led to more tool usage like fire, which caused wildfires and thus shaped the ecology...
Research has gone on to prove that cells produce other similar proteins to various stressors, now generally called stress proteins but most are still categorized as “HSP” from the original demarcation. Goodman and Blank [202, 203] found that EMF is a cellular stressor even at low intensities...
Over the longer term, heat waves can strain water andenergy resources, leading to power shortages and blackouts. They can fuelsevere stormsand wildfires, and even threaten food security if crops and livestock are damaged. People who are most vulnerable to the impacts of heat waves include small...
Our analysis yielded sobering results. On the current trajectory, one-third of forest value will be lost by 2050. The major culprits: land-use change and rising temperatures. (See Exhibit 6.) Although wildfires are responsible for 23% of annual forest loss, most of this is temporary loss....
