in brief, as “a change in the climate of the earth; specifically:global warming.” Our use ofclimate changeis not particularly new (theOxford English Dictionaryhas citations for its use since the middle of the 19th century), although it has seen considerably more use in...
Climate change has largely become a synonym for unsustainable behaviour of mankind, although there must be climate change without any human interference, because the strongly differing time-scales of climate system components like atmosphere, ocean, vegetation, land-ice, and distribution of continents ...
has advanced over the past decade. Little is known about how these responses, past or future, are spatially connected. Analyzing the spatial variability in biodiversity provides insight into how climate change affects the accumulation of diversity across ...
On the basis of the volume of evidence and interlinkages between issues of concern, we grouped our findings into: health and the NHS; security (as a synonym for defence); economy and unemployment; and poverty, housing, and inequality. Table. Number of papers citing co-benefits and trade-...
Temperature conditions and climate on Earth are controlled by the balance between absorbed solar radiation and outgoing terrestrial radiation. The greenhouse effect is a synonym for the trapping of infrared radiation by radiatively active atmospheric constituents. It generally causes a warming of the plane...
More climate negotiations are needed.,Read Text I Scanning,Within 9 minutes exercise on page 39-40,Third Reading,Structure (5 minutes),Structure,Part 1 (Para1-2): The pace of progress on climate change is still too slow. Part 2 (Para3-8): Two disturbing trends of climate negotiations ...
Freshwater ecosystems are particularly at risk from climate change due to the intrinsic link between the physical properties of the water environment and those species that live there. Mayflies, stoneflies and caddisflies are key indicators of the health
Sub-Saharan Africa is particularly vulnerable to climate change. There is evidence that the African continent is warming at a faster rate than the rest of the globe [37] and that drought/flood disaster events, which already constitute 25% of disasters on the continent [38], are projected to...
Climate change is already affecting agro-ecosystems and threatening food security by reducing crop productivity and increasing harvest uncertainty. Mobilizing crop diversity could be an efficient way to mitigate its impact. We test this hypothesis in pea
It was in 1964 that BASF began producing this green insulation board. Nowadays, Styrodur®is a synonym for XPS in whole Europe and stands for diverse applications, robustness and highest compressive strength. In 2015 the new generation was born: Thermally welded Styrodur®with one single...
