It is not known whether global warming will affect winning times in endurance events, and counterbalance improvements in race performances that have occurred over the past century. We examined a time series (1933-2004) from the Boston Marathon to test for an effect of warming on winning times by men and women. We found that warmer temperatures and headwinds on the day of the race slow winning t...

There is strong evidence that malaria was once indigenous to the UK, that global warming is occurring, and that human activity is contributing to global warming. Global warming will have a variety of effects, one of which will probably be the return of indigenous malaria.

A thorough analysis of the stability of a coupled version of an inter-hemispheric 3-box model of Thermohaline Circulation (THC) is presented. This study follows a similarly structured analysis on an uncoupled version of the same model presented in Part I. The model consists of a northern high latitudes box, a tropical box, and a southern high latitudes box, which respectively can be thought as ...

Hurricanes can inflict catastrophic property damage and loss of human life. Thus, it is important to determine how the character of these powerful storms could change in response to greenhouse gas-induced global warming. The impact of climate warming on hurricane intensities was investigated with a regional, high-resolution, hurricane prediction model. In a case study, 51 western Pacific storm ...

For a few decades has proposed sustainable developing in different sciences and professions including architecture and urbanization and its origins  is in environmental crises  and also excessive use of fossilized energies in the world. problems such as global warming, increasingly developing of green house gases in atmosphere that its origin  is  in global warming , air and soil  pollution, an...

life cycle study of a product is an accepted method for determining the side effects of its production process on environment during its complete life cycle. in this research, the impacts of global warming, acidification, terrestrial eutrophication and fossil resources depletion per unit yield of wheat (ton) on environment were investigated using life cycle assessment method in marvdasht region...

by increasing crops yield due to intensive use of agricultural machinery and energy inputs, utilizedenergy in agriculture has been increasing rapidly which negative environmental impacts on water,air and soil are its consequences. in this paper, potato production in isfahan province was studiedusing life cycle assessment approach from the standpoint of energy consumption and environmentalimpact...

A collapse of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) leads to global cooling through fast feedbacks that selectively amplify the response in the Northern Hemisphere (NH). How such cooling competes with global warming has long been a topic for speculation, but was never addressed using a climate model. Here it is shown that global cooling due to a collapsing AMOC obliterates glob...

in recent years, the debate over the environmental sustainability of agricultural productions is widely increased. in this context, environmental impacts of potato production by semi-mechanized method were studied in markazi province of iran. in this research, life cycle assessment approach was used to identify and reduce environmental impacts. the environmental impacts of potato production in ...

growing process of industrialization in different societies, excessive expansion of industries and factories and increase transport industries, push human toward unstable development. among these problem, massive volume of pollutions is also added to the atmosphere. air pollution in industrial societies and cities is more intensive. global warming is one of the major problems of 21 century. co2...
