MRD Journal: Abstract: Rising temperatures and changing precipitation patterns across the Hindu Kush — Himalaya (HKH)
region resulting from climate change have an influence on water resource availability and food security for the downstream population.
Driven by stronger
winds resulting from climate change, ocean waters in the Southern Ocean are mixing more powerfully, so that relatively warm deep water rises to the surface and eats away at the underside of the ice.
Indeed, many climate scientists caution that extreme weather
events resulting from climate change is the new normal for farmers in North America and elsewhere, requiring novel agricultural strategies to prevent crop losses.
In a study published online yesterday in GeoHealth, scientists reported that warmer
winters resulting from climate change will lead to more intense pollen from oak trees, spelling more misery for allergy sufferers.
Burkle and Runyon (2016) examine possible mechanisms underlying changes in pollinator
behavior resulting from climate change and report that volatile organic compounds emitted by flowering plants are a primary pollinator attractant.
Although the simulation conditions in the MMD 20th - century simulations were not identical to those in the CMIP1 & 2 control runs, the differences do not alter the conclusions summarised below because the large - scale climatological features dominate, not the relatively small
perturbations resulting from climate change.
Results from the climate change scenarios indicate that, if the current trend in the NAO continues, there is the potential for a continued advance to the start of the growing season by as much as 13 days in some areas.
In 2002 the EPA put out another report identifying how the United States will experience dramatic changes in the coming
decades resulting from climate change, including water shortages, extreme weather events, and infestations of disease - bearing insects (mosquito - borne Dengue fever and West Nile virus being two examples).
I don't tend to write much about this, but my concern over global warming is based, to a great extent, on the losses in biodiversity that will
inevitably result from climate change, even at rates that don't greatly damage human economic activity in general.
Quezon City, The Philippines - Fossil fuel companies are today under the spotlight as hearings begin in the Philippines into their contribution to human rights
harms resulting from climate change.
A report released in 2012 by the National Wildlife Federation's Climate Education Program and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation predicted a steep rise in mental and social
disorders resulting from climate change - related events in the coming years, including depression and anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, substance abuse, suicide and widespread outbreaks of violence.
Climate assessments have not typically characterized or analyzed specific societal
risks resulting from climate change, including the socio - environmental determinants of vulnerability through which exposure to climate - related hazards creates risk.
Resilient design is the intentional design of buildings, landscapes, communities, and regions in order to respond to natural and manmade disasters and disturbances — as well as long - term
changes resulting from climate change — including sea level rise, increased frequency of heat waves, and regional drought.
The SCC is a loosey - goosey computer model result that attempts to determine the present value of future damages that
result from climate change caused by pernicious economic activity.
Manila, 8 December 2017 - The world's first ever national inquiry into the responsibility of the fossil fuel industry for the human rights impacts
resulting from climate change hits and important milestone in the Philippines on 11 December - one...
At a news conference after the meeting, officials from the United States and Britain rejected the idea that a deadline set by the world's countries to negotiate a new climate agreement by December would slip... Mr. Miliband said there was growing accord among nations at the meeting on the level of aid required to help poor countries withstand
threats resulting from climate change and adopt less - polluting energy technology.
«The effects of increased
flooding resulting from climate change will be the greatest problem faced by Bangladesh as both coastal (from sea and river water), and inland flooding (river / rain water) are expected to increase.
To respond to the challenge of understanding climate and climate variability, the NSF's Climate Change Science Program (CCSP) is providing the nation and the world with the science - based knowledge to predict change, manage risk, and take advantage of
opportunities resulting from climate change and climate variability.
Dams are hardly the only way to meet demand for water, whether it's new demand due to population growth or to adjust to altered precipitation or runoff
patterns resulting from climate change.
MRD Journal: Rising temperatures and changing precipitation patterns across the Hindu Kush — Himalaya (HKH)
region resulting from climate change have an influence on water resource availability and food security for the downstream population.
So while coastal erosion is consistent with models of sea - level
rise resulting from climate change, determining just how much of this erosion might have been caused by climate change impacts is difficult.
In a separate but related case before a federal judge in Massachusetts, the Conservation Law Foundation (CLF) argued that ExxonMobil had failed to prepare one of its facilities for rising sea
levels resulting from climate change.
Yet, a drought that began in 2000 killed some 10 percent of the pines in the Four Corners region where Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico and Utah meet — even in moister, high - elevation areas — and scientists wondered if the warmer
temperatures resulting from climate change might be the cause.
While recognizing that some damage
resulting from climate change will be irreversible, McKibben is optimistic that humanity can still adapt and avoid the worst possible outcomes.
