Northeast Colorado Extreme Rains Interpreted in a Climate Change Context

Published:December 2013

Author(s):Martin Hoerling, Klaus Wolter, Judith Perlwitz, Xiaowei Quan, Jon Eischeid, Hailan Wang, Siegfried Schubert, Henry Diaz, Randall Dole

Publisher:Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society

This article suggests that the probability for an extreme five-day September rainfall event over northeast Colorado, as was observed in early September 2013, has likely decreased due to climate change. Read More →

Tracing Anthropogenic Carbon Dioxide and Methane Emissions from Fossil Fuel and Cement Producers, 1854–2010

Published:November 2013

Author(s):Richard Heede

Publisher:Climatic Change

This paper presents a quantitative analysis of the historic fossil fuel and cement production records of the leading producers of oil, natural gas, coal, and cement from as early as 1854 to 2010.Read More →

Tracing Anthropogenic Carbon Dioxide and Methane Emissions to Fossil Fuel and Cement Producers, 1854–2010

Published:November 2013

Author(s):Richard Heede

Publisher:SpringerLink

This article describes the historic carbon dioxide and methane emissions from global fossil fuel and cement producers, and seeks to consider these emissions' possible relevance to public policy. Read More →

Accounting for Greenhouse Gas Emissions Associated with the Supply of Fossil Fuels

Published:October 2013

Author(s):Peter Erikson, Michael Lazarus

Publisher:Stockholm Environment Institute

This discussion brief explores how an extraction-based emissions accounting tracks and accounts for the emissions associated with fossil fuels as they are brought into the world economy, and the implications of taking such an approach.Read More →

Attributing Mortality from Extreme Temperatures to Climate Change in Stockholm, Sweden

Published:October 2013

Author(s):Daniel Oudin Åström, Bertil Forsberg, Kristie L. Ebi, Joacim Rocklöv

Publisher:Nature Climate Change

This study seeks to understand the extent to which mortality due to temperature extremes in Stockholm, Sweden during 1980– 2009 can be attributed to climate change that has occurred since their reference period (1900–1929). Read More →

The Challenge to Detect and Attribute Effects of Climate Change on Human and Natural Systems

Published:August 2013

Author(s):Dáithí Stone, Maximilian Auffhammer, Mark Carey, Gerrit Hansen, Christian Huggel, Wolfgang Cramer, David Lobell, Ulf Molau, Andrew Solow, Lourdes Tibig, Gary Yohe

The Impact of Powder River Basin Coal Exports on Global Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Published:May 2013

Author(s):Thomas Michael Power, Donovan S. Power

Publisher:The Energy Foundation

This report details and responds to the arguments that there will be no net increase in global GHG emissions as a result of the expansion of PRB coal mining and the construction of rail and port infrastructure on the West Coast.Read More →

Shifts in the Seasonal Distribution of Deaths in Australia, 1968–2007

Published:April 2013

Author(s):Charmian M. Bennett, Keith B. G. Dear, Anthony J. McMichael

Publisher:International Journal of Biometeorology

This study examines the ratio of summer to winter deaths in Australia with a background of rising average annual temperature over four decades, and finds that change has been driven more by reduced winter mortality than by increased summer mortality.Read More →

A unifying view of climate change in the Sahel linking intra-seasonal, interannual and longer time scales

Published:April 2013

Author(s):A Giannini, S Salack, T Lodoun, A Ali, A T Gaye and O Ndiaye

Publisher:Environmental Research Letters

This study proposes a re-interpretation of the oceanic influence on the climate of the African Sahel that is consistent across observations and that resolves the uncertainty in projections change in this region. Read More →

Attribution of CO2 Emissions from Brazilian Deforestation to Consumers Between 1990 and 2010

Published:April 2013

Author(s):Jonas Karstensen, Glen P. Peters, Robbie M. Andrew

Publisher:Environmental Research Letters

This study analyzes the connection between Brazilian deforestation and the global consumption of products reliant on deforested areas, such as cattle and soybeans. It highlights the growing role of trade in driving deforestation. Read More →
