spurred by the environmental integration principle, has become increasingly coercive in externalizing internal environmental measures. Crucially, the external dimension of internal measures makes it relevant to appreciate the role of legislative institutions in ...

however, must not be limited to flight CO2emissions since such a narrow focus leaves up to 80% of climate impacts unaccounted for. Based on rigorous life-cycle assessment and a time-dependent quantification of non-CO2climate impacts, here we show that, from a technological...
In addition, while there is a great deal of scientific consensus surrounding the problem's existence and general causes (IPCC 2013), uncertainty about specific effects and levels of risk are relatively high, particularly among the public in the US (Leiserowitz 2006). G...
Direct aerosol effect BC RF in STANDARD, LIFETIME and PERTBC, and comparison to recent literature (AeroCom Phase II: Myhre et al.21; IPCC AR5: Boucher et al.1) (a). Direct, semi-direct and net aerosol effect BC RF in various experiments (b). A description of model experiments is ...
Delaney, 2020). Studies have showed, for example, which countries, regions, or cities are making progress in reducing risks fromsea level rise(McEvoy, 2021), heat (Turek-Hankins et al., 2021), or flood risks (Caretta et al 2022). However, the recent IPCC AR6 report (IPCC 2022) noted...
This results in land ice loss and thermal expansion from ocean warming, and changes in territorial water storage (IPCC, 2021). A range of future sea-level rise projections are required to express the uncertainties in response of large ice sheets to warming. As mean sea levels rise, a ...
however arrogance and defensive behavior can blind a scientist to the idea that they might be wrong and lead to unjustified dismissal of skeptical arguments. When arrogance is institutionalized (e.g. the IPCC and AAAS have been criticized in this way), then the self correcting methods of science...
In 1995 IPCC could only report that the evidence suggests a “discernible human influence” on the climate. In its latest assessment, IPCC declared that the evidence was “unequivocal”. This essay explores how this happened.
Over the past 30 years, flooding has constituted 47% of weather-related disasters globally, affecting over 2 billion people (Wahlstrom and Guha-Sapir 2015; IPCC 2023). With riverine flooding events across the globe projected to increase in frequency and intensity (McDermott 2022), nations are dev...
