Professor Eric Fèvre, Chair of Veterinary Infectious Diseases at the University's Institute of Infection and Global Health said: «Although Laikipia County camel density is low relative to more northern regions of Kenya, our study suggests the population is sufficient to maintain high rates of viral transmission and that camels may be constantly re-infected and serve as long term carriers of the virus.

«Although we did not find the overall traffic - related fatality rate to predict policy adoption, the size of the population ages 15 to 24 years — the group most at risk for death and injury from impaired driving — was associated with first time policy adoption, suggesting that states might be initially more receptive to regulation when it involves protecting younger populations,» said study author Diana Silver, associate professor of public health at NYU Steinhardt and NYU College of Global Public Health.

Although the growth rate of coal slows from the breakneck pace of the last decade, global coal consumption by 2017 stands at 4.32 billion tonnes of oil equivalent (btoe), versus around 4.40 btoe for oil, based on IEA medium - term projections.

Although global warming will certainly be bad in itself, the likely prospect of beyond peak oil will compound the situation drastically, with little help to reducing forcings and the rate of global warming.

The physics underlying the lapse rate will insure dew point temperatures at some level in the atmospheric column, although the level will increase with global warming (the resulting high (er) clouds may give a positive feedback).

If both Greenland and West Antarctica shed the entirety of their ice burden, global sea levels would rise by 12 to 14 m. Although these icecaps would not disintegrate within a century, the loss of even a third of their mass — quite plausible if the rate of polar ice loss continues to double each decade — would force up the oceans by at least 4 m, with disastrous socioeconomic and environmental consequences.

At this rate, non-OECD nations account for 83 % of global growth and consume 67 % more energy than OECD nations by 2035, although their energy consumption is still far lower on a per capita basis.

Although the rate of global net forest loss slowed down from an average of 7.3 million hectares per year in the 1990s to 3.3 million hectares per year in 2010 — 2015, deforestation remains a matter of deep concern.

This illustrates that although the choice of baseline period makes no difference when computing the trend (i.e., the rate of global warming), it does make a difference when estimating the annual (seasonal) cycle.

Although the energy consumption of developing countries in other regions is expected to grow at a slower pace than in Asia, rates are still expected to exceed the global average (Table 1).

Although there has been a slower rate of atmospheric warming during the past 18 years, this does not undermine the fundamental physics of global warming, the scientific basis of climate models or the estimates of climate sensitivity.

Leaving aside the misconduct of top climate scientists, the other problem facing climate scientists is that the past decade or so has shown a lull in global warming although the AGHGs continue to increase in total and in yearly rate.

What it means Although some regions have recently experienced much greater rates of sea level rise, such as the Arctic (3.6 mm / yr) and Antarctic (4.1 mm / yr), with the mid-1980s even exhibiting a rate of 5.3 mm / yr (Holgate, 2007), this newest analysis of the most comprehensive data set available suggests that there has been no dramatic increase — or any increase, for that matter — in the mean rate of global sea level rise due to the historical increase in the atmosphere's CO2 concentration.

These combined results indicate that the rate of global sea - level rise averages ~ 3.0 mm / yr, although the actual rate varies regionally (Rahmstorf et al., 2007; Church et al., 2011; Carlson, 2011).
