The impact of these climate hazards on health does not end there. From the spread of infectious diseases due to flooding orwarmer climates, to the disruption of food systems by extreme weather, the knock-on effects of climate change are felt everywhere and will hit the world's most vulnerable...
"We're finding that we have increasing numbers of children born already in a weakened state from heat and air pollution. That's a totally different story than thinking about climate change as the cause of hurricanes over Florida. … It's a much more pervasive and ongoing impact." In the ...
Furthermore, provincial-level statistical data have been matched for empirical analysis to tackle the following research questions: (1) How does public concern about climate change influence per capita carbon emissions? (2) Among different topics related to climate change, which specific topic exhibits...
Our health is being adversely affected by these changes and most of us do not know or care about climate change. The environmental changes such as droughts, floods, increased fire occurrences, forest changes, loss of biodiversity, increased temperatures are sudden and difficul...
Global climate change, induced by anthropogenic causes, has severe consequences for Earth and its inhabitants. With the consequences already visible around the globe, one of them is the impact on food security. The lack of food security has serious impacts on health, especially in vulnerable ...
To evaluate the impact of climate change mitigation policies on energy use, the investigators created a model of economic growth and energy efficiency with endogenous technical change. They make the point that this model can effectively recreate data-observed patterns of energy use and economic growth...
As global temperatures and emissions rise, so does the impact ofclimate change on public health. More pollutants from automobiles, fossil fuel plants and smoke from wildfires degrades air quality. This means at-risk populations, such as pregnant women and developing fetuses, are more likely to su...
Climate change is among the leading global health threats of the 21st century — its impact on the health sector should not be overlooked.
Thus, regulations based mainly on local climate changes could be useful in alleviating the effects of climate change in nature reserves. Global climate change forecasts are constantly filled with uncertainty. This is the reason why the Bayreuth scientists used 10 types of global models of climate ...
"Climate change is already hitting home, and of course will do so much more in the future," said Gernot Wagner, a climate economist at Columbia Business School. "There are a bazillion pathways" to adverse financial impact, he added. ...
