Human activities are driving climate change. Soaring emissions have seen the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increase 50 percent above pre-industrial levels. This in turn has caused the Earth’s land and ocean surface temperature to rise 1.3 degrees Celsius above the 20th century ...
Aside from these repercussions, climate change will also have great consequences for human health by increasing disease risk, creating dangerous and unsuitable living environments, and intensifying the risk of injury or death from storms and extreme weather. Three surveys from different medical societies...
Inflation Reduction Act (IRA)A US law enacted in 2022 and aimed at reducing inflation by investing in domestic energy production and lowering prescription drug prices. It includes significant provisions for climate change mitigation, such as incentives for clean energy production and carbon capture tec...
How this theory can be applied in the context of climate change, including implications for the analysis of the economic impacts of extremes, is described. Future research challenges include the statistical modeling of complex extreme events, such as heat waves, and taking into account spatial ...
In the past, Sicily has been screened for several signals of possible climate change. Annual, seasonal and monthly rainfall data in the entire Sicilian region have been analyzed, showing a global reduction of total annual rainfall. Moreover, annual maximum rainfall series for different durations ...

If you are a skilledmathematicianand could see yourself applying your skills in areas ranging from climate change research to accounting, statistics could be the right major for you. Statistics majors can have aspirations that include working in the business world or government. If you’re intereste...
The main lines of evidence for climate change are outlined. Alternative explanations to increased greenhouse gas concentrations are described. After discussing some statistical issues, attribution approaches are briefly described. Policy issues dealing with mitigation and adaptation are mentioned. Keywords: cl...
