Tackling Climate Change Through Livestock – A global assessment of emissions and mitigation opportunities

January 2013
Gerber, P.J., Steinfeld, H., Henderson, B., Mottet, A., Opio, C., Dijkman, J., Falcucci, A. & Tempio, G.
Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)
This report provides a snapshot of the current state of FAO’s assessment work on livestock’s contribution to climate change. It draws on three technical reports addressing emissions from dairy cattle, ruminants and monogastrics.Read More →

Patterns of change: whose fingerprint is seen in global warming?

December 2012
Gabriele Hegerl, Francis Zwiers, Claudia Tebaldi
This letter communicates the physical science basis of climate change attribution research, and discusses the statistical methods applied to explore the extent to which different possible causes can be used to explain the recent climate records.Read More →

Cusk (Brosme brosme) and Climate Change: Assessing the Threat to a Candidate Marine Fish Species Under the US Endangered Species Act

December 2012
Jonathan A. Hare, John P. Manderson, Janet A. Nye, Michael A. Alexander, Peter J. Auster, Diane L. Borggaard, Antonietta M. Capotondi, Kimberly B. Damon-Randall, Eric Heupel, Ivan Mateo, Loretta O'Brien, David E. Richardson, Charles A. Stock, Sarah T. Biegel
ICES Journal of Marine Science
This study examines changes in distribution and abundance of a number of marine fish in the Northwest Atlantic that have been linked to climate variability and change, suggesting that both fishing and climate may affect the status of cusk. Read More →

A Synthesis of Carbon in International Trade

August 2012
G. P. Peters, S. J. Davis, R. Andrew
Biogeosciences
This paper synthesizes carbon transfer through emissions embodied in goods and services that are produced in one country but consumed in others, as well as carbon physically present in fossil fuels and other sources. Read More →
