IPCC AR4 WGIII Report Climate Change 2007: Mitigation of Climate Change
The Working Group III contribution to the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) focuses on recently published literature on the scientific, technological, environmental, economic, and social aspects of mitigation of climate change.Read More →
Global Scale Climate-Crop Yield Relationships and the Impacts of Recent Warming
This study shows that simple measures of growing season temperatures and precipitation explain variations in global average yields for the world’s six most widely grown crops, and that climate change negatively impacts crop yield. Read More →
The Economic Impacts of Climate Change: Evidence from Agricultural Output and Random Fluctuations in Weather
This paper measures the economic impact of climate change on US agricultural land by estimating the effect of random year-to-year variation in temperature and precipitation on agricultural profits.Read More →
IPCC AR4 WGI Climate Change 2007: The Physical Science Basis
The Working Group I contribution to the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report describes progress in understanding the drivers of climate change, observed climate change, climate processes and attribution, and estimates of projected future climate change. Read More →
Integrated Model Shows that Atmospheric Brown Clouds and Greenhouse Gases Have Reduced Rice Harvests in India
This study suggests that adverse climate changes due to brown clouds and greenhouse gases contributed to the slowdown in harvest growth that occurred during the past two decades.Read More →
Climate Agreements Based on Responsibility for Global Warming: Periodic Updating, Policy Choices, and Regional Costs
This article explores regional mitigation costs resulting from global allocation schemes based on the Brazilian Proposal, and assess policy options available for calculating historical responsibility. Read More →
Navigating the Numbers: Greenhouse Gas Data and International Climate Policy
This book provides a comprehensive assessment of the world's greenhouse gas emissions at the global, national, sectoral, and fuel levels and identifies implications of the data for international cooperation on global climate change.Read More →
Scenarios of freshwater fish extinctions from climate change and water withdrawal
This study combined two scenarios from the IPCC with a global hydrological model to build global scenarios of future losses in river discharge from climate change and increased water withdrawal.Read More →
