Anthropocene changes in desert area: Sensitivity to climate model predictions
[1] Changes in desert area due to humans have important implications from a local, regional to global level. Here I focus on the latter in order to better understand estimated changes in desert dust aerosols and the associated iron deposition into oceans. Using 17 model simulations from the World Climate Research Programme’s Coupled Model Intercomparison Project phase 3 multi-model dataset and ...
متن کاملClimate Weirding and Queering Nature: Getting Beyond the Anthropocene
Though many scientists and scholars of the environmental humanities are referring to the current geological era as the anthropocene, this article argues that there are some problems with this trope and the narrative that emerges from it. First, responsibility for the current era of climate weirding is not shared equally, some humans are way more responsible than others. Second, the claim of the...
متن کاملFraming an ethics of climate management for the anthropocene
In addition to carbon dioxide, it is becoming increasingly clear that there are numerous other potent agents of anthropogenic forcing (e.g. methane, ozone, black carbon) at work in the climate system today. The typical ethical framing of climate change has not yet accommodated this complexity. In addition, geoengineering has often been presented as a Plan B that would simply counter unintention...
متن کاملClimate Sensitivity of the Community Climate System
Equilibrium climate sensitivity of the Community Climate System Model Version 4 (CCSM4) is 3.20◦C for 1◦ horizontal resolution in each component. This is about a half degree Celsius higher than in the previous version (CCSM3). The transient climate sensitivity of CCSM4 at 1◦ resolution is 1.72◦C, which is about 0.2◦C higher than in CCSM3. These higher climate sensitivities in CCSM4 cannot be ex...
متن کاملDefaunation in the Anthropocene.
We live amid a global wave of anthropogenically driven biodiversity loss: species and population extirpations and, critically, declines in local species abundance. Particularly, human impacts on animal biodiversity are an under-recognized form of global environmental change. Among terrestrial vertebrates, 322 species have become extinct since 1500, and populations of the remaining species show ...
