The article discusses the remarks of presidential candidate Mitt Romney that was released online about accepting the contribution of humans to climate change. According to the assessment of Rom...
This makes it likely that when demand for energy rises it will be met with the cheapest and quickest source available–coal, guaranteeing much higher levels of emissions and a larger contribution to global warming, no matter how low atmospheric sensitivity is. But we’ll also see other effects...
To disentangle human and climatic influences on fire occurrence and BA in Ethiopia, we first investigated the contribution of climate variation to interannual variability in annual BA using the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS)-based FireCCI51 product (Lizundia-Loiola et al.2020). ...
change and regional megafaunal population collapse. We establish that substantial changes in vegetation and fire regime occurred∼70,000 years ago under a climate much drier than today. We record high levels of the dung fungusSporormiella, a proxy for herbivore biomass, from 150,000 to 45,000...
environment, let us not sit back leaving all the responsibility of conserving our planet on a handful of people. Each one of us can make a valuable contribution towards preserving our environment. Let us do our own bit, for, in the well-being of the environment lies the key to our ...
This analysis suggests that, statistically, both climate and land-use have been contributing to a significant increase of the contribution of short duration floods to the increase in the number of flooded locations. The analysis also suggests that interaction arises, determining land-use dynamics to ...
World Weather Attribution, a U.K. based group that estimates the contribution of climate change to individual extreme weather events,recently released a studythat found record-setting fires in Québec earlier this year were made twice as likely because of human-caused...

From the paper: "The contribution of water vapour to the increase in greenhouse radiation has not been included since it is a part of the natural climate feedback. There is some argument to suggest that tropospheric water vapour has already increased by several percent; hence, the corresponding...
1). Participants were instructed to move between four distinct climate chambers (Fig. 2), each presenting different temperature levels, and were tasked with comparing the temperatures in each chamber to discern the minimum difference they could perceive (i.e., the JND). By focusing on thermal ...
