Hamilton showed that the oil price run-up in 2007 – 2008 was sufficient to explain the 2008 – 2009 recession of the United States [18]. Hirsch showed a graph indicating that increases in world GDP correspond with increases in world oil production during the period 1986 to 2005 [19] (Fig...

From a hydrological point of view, rain garden systems function well in real conditions over time, based on the results of a study of 22 non-novel rain garden designs in Ontario that had been in operation for up to 10 years [83]. The hydraulic conductivity of 20/22 systems was 25 mm/...

One implication, which is supported by real research (I can point you to Prof Hamilton’s article on this, if you like): a *gradual* rise in oil prices won’t hurt the world economy much. If it’s part of a long-term change in public policy away from FF and towards EVs and renew...
Palmer’s pollution score was calculated for BML for each separate year and for BCR as an average over all years (Table1). BML’s pollution score ranged from low to high (11–26) over the five years but was in the high range for most years and did not change significantly over time ...
''With climate change we should have more food produced where more reliable rain is, rather than in the drier country,'' Dr Williams said. ''We have to get it in balance with what the poor old rivers can afford.'' The lessons of climate history: implications for post-carbon agriculture...
