The Raising Risk Awareness project seeks to assess the contribution of anthropogenic climate change and other external drivers (e.g.» El Niño») to the occurrence of extreme weather events in developing countries in East Africa and South East Asia, and identify how such information could help to bridge the science - communications policy gap, and enable these countries and communities to become more climate resilient.

Climate change is only one of the drivers motivating agricultural innovation, but it will become more important as warming continues into the future.

The Anthropocene is the new epoch in which humanity, through its technological prowess and population of 7 billion, has become the major driver of changes of the Earth's physical systems, including the climate, the carbon cycle, the water cycle, the nitrogen cycle, and biodiversity.

But in 2009, as I reported more and more on the inherent threat of climate extremes in some of the world's poorest places (sub-Saharan Africa, particularly) I became concerned that the uncertain impact of greenhouse - driven warming paled beside other drivers of risk (persistent poverty, doubling populations, and the existing pattern of super-drought).

Humanity today, collectively, must face the uncomfortable fact that industrial civilization itself has become the principal driver of global climate.

c) the recent cooling of our planet, despite CO2 concentrations increasing to record level, has tended to falsify the premise that CO2 is a primary driver of our climate; until this apparent falsification can be scientifically refuted, the «dangerous AGW» premise remains an uncorroborated hypothesis at best; if this cooling should continue for another few years, the «dangerous AGW» hypothesis will become a falsified hypothesis.

A relatively small group of people was able both to claim that CO2 is the main driver of temperature / climate, and to become dominant in this field.

The Antarctic ice sheet reached the coastline for the first time at ca. 33.6 Ma and became a driver of Antarctic circulation, which in turn affected global climate, causing increased latitudinal thermal gradients and a «spinning up» of the oceans that resulted in: (1) increased thermohaline circulation and erosional pulses of Northern Component Water and Antarctic Bottom Water; (2) increased deep - basin ventilation, which caused a decrease in oceanic residence time, a decrease in deep - ocean acidity, and a deepening of the calcite compensation depth (CCD); and (3) increased diatom diversity due to intensified upwelling.

The Raising Risk Awareness project seeks to assess the contribution of anthropogenic climate change and other external drivers (e.g.» El Niño») to the occurrence of extreme weather events in developing countries in East Africa and South East Asia, and identify how such information could help to bridge the science - communications policy gap, and enable these countries and communities to become more climate resilient.
