Costing climate change
With the world still polarized between nations working to combat the effects of greenhouse gas emissions and those resistant to the idea, the UK commissioned a survey of the potential costs of ignoring possible changes. Sir Nicholas Stern, an economist within the British government's treasury, reported last month on his assessment of the challenge of climate change. He warns that it could cost ...
متن کاملClimate change rises on the 2007 agenda
Kassie Siegel, also of the centre, said: " This is the beginning of a sea change in the way this country addresses global warming. There is still time to save polar bears but we must reduce global warming pollution immediately. " The government's announcement reported the observations that Arctic sea ice had declined in late summer by 7.7 per cent, and that the perennial sea ice area had declin...
متن کاملClimate change Effects of Surface soil temperature profile in Ahwaz
In arid and semi-arid regions, soil surface warming is a considerable phenomenon causing a high thermal gradient which makes water flow intensely. The degree of soil temperature is effective on crop production, plant growth and soil microorganisms. In recent years, the ascending trend of temperature has been substantially noticed by researchers in the issues of pointwise climate change and at w...
متن کاملMapping climate change in European temperature distributions
Climate change poses challenges for decision makers across society, not just in preparing for the climate of the future but even when planning for the climate of the present day. When making climate sensitive decisions, policy makers and adaptation planners would benefit from information on local scales and for user-specific quantiles (e.g. the hottest/coldest 5% of days) and thresholds (e.g. d...
متن کاملVariation in the sensitivity of organismal body temperature to climate change over local and geographic scales.
Global climate change is expected to have broad ecological consequences for species and communities. Attempts to forecast these consequences usually assume that changes in air or water temperature will translate into equivalent changes in a species' organismal body temperature. This simple change is unlikely because an organism's body temperature is determined by a complex series of interaction...
