Examining the Process concerning Climate Change Assessments 31 March 2011

چکیده
1.Climate assessments like the IPCC have to date been written through a process in which IPCC-selected authors are given significant authority over the text, including judging their own work against work of their critics. This has led to biased information in the assessments and thus raises questions about a catastrophic view of climate change because the full range of evidence is not represented. Three examples follow.

Two major issues through studies on hydrological impact assessment of climate change are the sufficiency of historical data and selection of the best rainfall-runoff model. Climate models, with the ability to simulate climatic variables, are considered as references for future projections. Therefore, the rainfall-runoff model must be able to simulate streamflow using only these variables. Curre...
متن کاملPacific Island Countries and Climate Change: Examining Associated Human Health Vulnerabilities
Climate change presents a significant and growing threat to human health, with diverse impacts projected for different regions. Investigators now report that Pacific island countries including Fiji, Tonga, and the Marshall Islands are among the nations most vulnerable to climate-related health problems due to their particular geographic, demographic, and socioeconomic characteristics. Their new...
متن کاملEvaluating the Consequences of Climate Change on the Process and Structure of Climate Parameters Affecting Pistachio Production (Case study: Sabzevar)
Introduction In the future decades, climate change will influence the food and water security,and there are substantive evidences indicating that the developing countries will confront extensive pressure from the disastrous consequences of this climate change. The agricultural section is the most vulnerable section to the climate changes due to its dependence on the condition of water resource...
متن کاملInvestigation of climate change impacts on streamflow regime of a river Arazkooseh River Basin
In this research, impacts of climate change on the streamflow hydrological status of the Arazkooseh River are discussed. After Calibration and validation of the LARS-WG, HadCM3 was downscaled under A2 Scenario in three climatology station. Beside, calibration and validation of the SWAT model were done by observed data relative to past period of times. Streamflow values are then predicted using ...
متن کاملA stochastic simulation approach to estimating the economic impacts of climate change in Bangladesh
Climate change assessments often inadequately address uncertainty when estimating damages. Using a dynamic economy-wide model of Bangladesh, we estimate and decompose damages from historical climate variability and future anthropogenic climate change. Our stochastic simulation approach avoids biases caused by non-linear damage functions and fixed occurrences of extreme events in historical data...
