A cost-benefit analysis would show that some would gain by such a warming trend and some would be worse off, but such an analysis cannot be made until climatologists can describe the future climate in terms of both temperature and rainfall patterns better than they can now. When (and if) ...
Of all the potential consequences of climate change—rising sea levels, desertification, flood—here's one that may not catch your attention; rising temperatures are turning young green sea turtle(海龟) populations almost entirely female, according to a new study published in Current Biology. "This...
highest. Where storage capacities are not sufficient, much of the winter runoff will immediately be lost to the oceans. With more than one-sixth of the Earth's population relying on glaciers and seasonal snow packs for their water supply, the consequences of these hydrological changes for future...
Our study is an important first step in examining the potential simultaneous impacts to fisheries catch potential and agriculture in coastal communities, but has some limitations, some of which could be addressed in future studies. First, our measure of exposure was dynamic (i.e., it was project...

23. These potential consequences of the flood risk housing bubble, the time horizon over which they occur, and their effect on the stability of the housing market will largely depend on how policymakers and the multiple players in the housing and mortgage markets respond to increasing flood ...
nor are the unintended consequences well recognized. The results of this study call for further effort to optimize irrigation schemes to counteract the climate–carbon feedback by maximizing the environmental co-benefit or reducing the tradeoff of heat–carbon mitigation. In addition to the ambient te...
Climate change, characterized by increasing global surface temperatures and alterations in rainfall, has the capacity to affect the quality and accessibility of micronutrient-rich foods. The goals of this review are to summarize the potential effects of climate change and its consequences on agricultural...
