Some of the basic physical processes that relate global warming to changes in water availability are accessible to the layperson: warm air can hold more water vapor than cool air, and ice melts when heated above a critical temperature. The higher water content of a warmer atmosphere implies ...
The countries of the North could not ask the 2 billion people of the South living on one or two dollars a day to either slow economic growth or have fewer children in order to slow global warming. But if we frame the discussion at the level of individual needs rather than national ...
2.3.1. Climate change skepticism Participants completed a 3-item climate change skepticism scale assessing disbelief (versus belief) in climate change, modelled afterOjala (2015; e.g., 1 =I think that global warming is really happeningto 5 =I doubt that global warming is really happening). We...
The IPCC's report on Global Warming of 1.5掳C positioned climate change as one of the most worrying issues mankind has ever faced. Although many people worry about climate change, there is still much unknown about the origins and outcomes of worry about climate change; particularly, whether ...
In 2012 460 of 639 (72%) rated "global warming occurring" as "certain" (#4) or "very certain" (#5) compared with 453 of 621 (73%) in 2014. For "due to human activities" the numbers of "certain" or "very certain" were 71% in 2012, and 67% in 2014 and for sea level rise...

ocean water. This will trigger surface ocean warming, especially in the eastern equatorial Pacific Ocean. Warming there is a well-known hallmark of the El Niño climate pattern that often brings intense rains to North and South America and droughts to Australia and other western Pacific countries...
How does keeping the global balance of angular momentum in the Earth's atmosphere contribute to climate stability. In the Northern Hemisphere, moving air masses are deflected to the right by the Coriolis force (and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere.) Large-scale circulation patterns in the...
