Declining body size is a universal ecological response to global warming in ectotherms. Ectotherms grow faster but mature at a smaller size at higher temperatures. This phenomenon is known as the temperature–size rule (TSR). However, we know little about the details of the relationship between ...
BlackRock, the world's largest asset manager, says it is selling $500 million of coal-related investments as part of a larger shift to make climate change central to its investment decisions. BlackRock founder and CEO Laurence Fink, who oversees the firm's management of $7 trillion in funds...

Growing plants produce oxygen, and tropical rainforests are huge contributors, but dead and rotting plants—as well as burning plants—consume oxygen to release carbon dioxide as a by-product during decomposition and combustion (燃烧). Often the ratio between a plant producing oxygen in life and ...
Oceans cover more than 70% of the Earth's surface and provide us with goods and services ranging from food and energy to cultural resources and identity. However, climate change threatens the availability of these ocean-derived benefits. Climate change is turning once familiar and stable ocean co...
The participation of these companies in the global process of climate mitigation and adaptation is fundamental, since these large greenhouse gas emitters and their investors could take action to change the path towards a low carbon economy. The most effective solution to combat global warming requires...
The ecosystem values maintained in these databases are widely used in cost-benefit assessments and global accounting exercises (e.g. Costanza et al., 2014), and point towards an information gap related to the ecosystem services value of all lakes, not just large lakes. We did not attempt a ...
It increases the potential for creating a more equitable society that highlights the synergies between the dual goals of keeping the temperature below 1.5 °C global warming and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals [7]. As an ambiguous phenomenon for framing and definition, renewable energy ...
Besides, this study reveals that the atmospheric water vapor flux in the QHL basin is mainly transported from the west and southwest to the east. For the anomalous high-precipitation (wet) years, the total water vapor of the QHL basin increases significantly. The ENSO and other atmospheric ...
