Abstract:
... The vast sums of money being spent on planting trees have the potential to transform landscapes and slow global warming but will accomplish little if trees do not survive and grow. We discuss ten key questions to decide which of the numerous tree-growing projects are most likely to succeed. ...

Abstract:
... The main goal of this study was to determine the effects of the entrainment ratio (ER) and condensing temperature (CT) on the performance of a dual evaporator ejector system (DEES) operating on environmentally friendly, low-GWP (Global Warming Potential) refrigerants of R1234ze(E), ND, R515a, R456a, and R516a as a replacement for R134a. The effects of various CTs and ERs on the DEES system perform ...

Abstract:
... Countries’ nationally determined contributions to mitigate global warming translate to claims of country specific shares of the remaining carbon budget. The remaining global budget is limited by the aim of staying well below 2 °C, however. Here we show how fairness concerns quantitatively condition the allocation of this global carbon budget across countries. Minimal fairness requirements include ...

Abstract:
... Romantic partners influence each other's beliefs and behaviors. However, little is known about the dynamics of climate change beliefs and behaviors within romantic couples. We surveyed 758 romantic couples (N = 1,516 individuals) to investigate (a) correspondence between partners' climate change beliefs/behaviors, (b) accuracy and bias in people's perceptions of their partner's beliefs/behaviors, ...

Abstract:
... Fluorinated gases (F-gases) are routinely employed as refrigerants, blowing agents, and electrical insulators. These volatile compounds are potent greenhouse gases and consequently their release to the environment creates a significant contribution to global warming. This review article seeks to summarise: (i) the current applications of F-gases, (ii) the environmental issues caused by F-gases, (i ...

Abstract:
... We announce the formation of the “GLORIA ITALIA NETWORK” and present an overview of the Italian alpine plant communities changes that have occurred in the last 20 years. This network will provide coordination between Italian GLORIA sites and enhance public awareness of changes in alpine plant diversity under climate change. ...

Abstract:
... This paper investigates the effectiveness of different energy scenarios for achieving early reductions in global energy-related CO₂ emissions on trajectories to zero or near-zero emissions by 2050. To keep global heating below 1.5°C without overshoot by 2050, global CO₂ emissions must decline by about half by 2030. To achieve rapid, early emission reductions entails substantially changing recent p ...
globalwarming, etc ; drought; economic impact; energy costs; fossil fuels; fuel production; renewable energy sources; Show all 7 Subjects
Abstract:
... Global warming creates significant problems for people, such as severe droughts. One of the biggest causes of global warming is the preference of fossil fuels in energy production. Therefore, renewable energy projects should be increased to overcome this problem. However, there is a need for a new study that considers different indicators at the same time to understand the key issues for improving ...

Abstract:
... Recently, it has been suggested that a shift towards diets with a lower carbon footprints, especially ones that emphasize the consumption of plants, is necessary to keep global heating below 2 °C. To address demand for animal-based products, we analyze if the effectiveness of anthropomorphic food labeling as a strategy for promoting plant-based diets is contingent on strong animal ethical beliefs. ...

Abstract:
... The Tropical Montane Cloud Forests (TMCF) of South America are ecosystems facing rapid changes due to global warming. Herein, we used species climatic niche models to reconstruct the climatic boundaries of TMCF and to predict range shifts in climate change scenarios. Thirty-two species from three taxonomic groups (plants, birds, and amphibians) were modelled using community-level niche models unde ...
... The Cenomanian-Turonian Oceanic Anoxic Event 2 (OAE 2, ca. 94 Ma) was one of the most extreme carbon cycle and climatic perturbations of the Phanerozoic Eon. Widespread deposition of organic-rich shales during OAE 2 has been attributed to a rapid rise in atmospheric CO₂, global heating, and marine anoxia triggered by intense large igneous province (LIP) volcanism. Here, we present new Hg and Zn el ...

Abstract:
... Despite rapid global warming, Eurasia experienced unusual winter cooling from around 1992–2012, whose cause is still debated. By analyzing observations and model simulations, we show that the winter cooling from 1992 to 2012, as well as the enhanced winter warming from 1971–1991, over Eurasia partly resulted from internally-generated multidecadal variations related to variations in sea ice cover ( ...

Abstract:
... Pollutant removal and resource recovery from high-humidity flue gas after desulfurization in a thermal power plant are crucial for improving air quality and saving energy. This study developed a flue gas treatment method involving phase transition enhanced by corona discharge based on laboratory research and established a field-scale unit for demonstration. The results indicate that an adequate in ...

Abstract:
... This article presents and discusses the scientific publication record from 1910 to 2020 on two topics: "climate" (CL) and "climate change/global warming/climate emergency" (CC/GW/CE). The goal is to comparatively visualize how these two distinct publication records have evolved over time, from different classification perspectives, using publication ratios as the key indicator. It is found that re ...

Abstract:
... Pollution of the environment with plastics has garnered significant public attention, but the topic has also been the focus of controversy, including assertions that resources are better spent on other topics, such as global warming. Here, we argue that plastic pollution and climate change are fundamentally linked, from the extraction of fossil fuels to the production of plastics, and eventual dis ...

Abstract:
... Offsetting residual emissions of greenhouse gases will be critical in our aims to limit global warming. Nature-based solutions (NbS) have been proposed as an opportunity to mitigate climate change while protecting and restoring the world’s natural capital. This Voices asks: what is the mitigation potential of NbS and the main needs for their succesful implementation? ...

Abstract:
... The treatment of uncertainty in climate-change science is dominated by the far-reaching influence of the ‘frequentist’ tradition in statistics, which interprets uncertainty in terms of sampling statistics and emphasizes p-values and statistical significance. This is the normative standard in the journals where most climate-change science is published. Yet a sampling distribution is not always mean ...

Abstract:
... This essay projects how a plague may be transformed into post-infection resilience. Peering into the future after Covid-19 has subsided, global heating and the burgeoning demands of the population remain wicked problems – hard to resolve and certainly not by business-as-usual. We have to envisage a world that was not before; new ideals, more rational objectives and more rewarding ways of life. A G ...

Ever since global warming emerged as an issue and business as usual has invited criticism regarding its ecological impact, entrepreneurs have embedded ecological values in their entrepreneurial practices. Female and male entrepreneurs, however, differ in how they practice entrepreneurship. Differences in motivations could affect how they adopt ecological entrepreneurship (ecopreneurship). By devel ...
