We included disease burden studies that were specific to climate change and health and included intervention studies that focused on climate change and measured health outcomes. We used MEDLINE, Embase, and Web of Science databases and extracted data on research priority areas, geographic regions, ...
For example, ancient CO 2 levels can be measured using shells on the sea bottom. This information helps us predict that temperatures and sea levels will rise. Also, regional and seasonal data from past climates can help us understand what variation is natural. It is expected that our planet ...
WHERE IS THIS HAPPENING? An “extremely dangerous increase” in locust swarm activity has been reported in Kenya, East Africa’s economic hub, regional authorities reported last week. One swarm measured 60 kilometers (37 miles) long by 40 kilometers (25 miles) wide in the country’s northeast...
How do changes in the Earth's orbit affect climate? How has the climate changed since the last ice age? How is global surface temperature measured? How does climate change affect snowfall? How does the climate system connect with oceans?
measured, what's less clear is how it relates to mental illness. Mental health providers across the world are noting the presence of climate anxiety in their patients; however, the degree to which it is influencing mental illness is not yet clear, though evidence addressing this question is sl...

How we measured climate impacts Climate burden is the decrease in crop yields because of climate change. In the sample graph below for corn yields, it’s the gap between the light green line — yields that would be expected if current levels of growth stayed the same and climate change ...
Within the framework of this study we identify mesoscale catchments in Switzerland that exhibit sensitivity towards a change in climate with a focus on alterations of the water balance and peak flow conditions. For this study, the hydrological modelling system PREVAH is used, which is a semi-...
This chapter describes how climate change—particularly extreme urban heat—is expected to affect Australian cities, and how green and blue infrastructure can help GPR to be incorporated into urban adaptation and mitigation solutions. Topics covered include water-sensitive urban design, nature-based ...
valuable that this information exists at all. Perhaps the biggest limiting step in the fight againstclimate changeis turning facts into actionable tasks and, in turn, convincing policymakers to start making major changes in the way our world is run. The climate crisis is a deceptively political ...
