Scholars in different fields have contrasted the fates of societies or communities that were “vulnerable” to climate change with those that seem to have been “resilient” or even consciously or unconsciously adaptive in the face of the Little Ice Age.
Predicting and managing resources in a changing climate requires an understanding of plant-accessible subsurface water storage.
What it will take to stabilize global temperature below 2°C above pre-industrial levels? A new review article by Adrien Vogt-Schilb and Stephane Hallegatte discusses two potential solutions.
Drivers of the changing water supply and demand characteristics in the Bay Area, and opportunities to enhance future regional water reliability.
Collective behavioural change toward less environmentally-impactful lifestyles, particularly in industrialised nations, remains a substantial and obdurate barrier to mitigating the impacts of serious environmental problems, particularly global climate change.
In a focus article recently published within WIREs Climate Change, Clingerman and O’Brien analyze these two very different ways of framing the moral problem of climate change, proposing that each leads to different outcomes for climate ethics and policy.
An article recently published explores the main policy and political shifts that the Paris Agreement represents, and explains why this new paradigm of international climate policy, politics and cooperation is key to accelerating the pace of change and avoiding the most catastrophic impacts of climate change.
The average person seeking climate information is likely to begin with the internet, and this quickly leads to a confusing array of very dissimilar climate information websites. A recent article reviews a representative sample of such websites from across the world, and draws out key issues for consideration in the ongoing evolution of them.
Clouds have a remarkable impact on Earth’s climate.
Carbon pricing is a recurrent theme in debates on climate policy. As there is much misunderstanding about the many reasons to implement a global carbon price, ideological resistance against it prospers.
