Growth in emission transfers via international trade from 1990 to 2008

May 2011
Glen P. Peters, Jan C. Minx, Christopher L. Weber, and Ottmar Edenhofer
PNAS
This study explores the growth in emission transfers via international trade and suggests that countries monitor emission transfers via international trade, in addition to territorial emissions, to stabilize greenhouse gas emissions. Read More →

Climate Trends and Global Crop Production Since 1980

May 2011
David B. Lobell, Wolfram Schlenker, Justin Costa-Roberts
Sciencexpress
This study highlights that that in the cropping regions and growing seasons of most countries, with the important exception of the United States, temperature trends for 1980-2008 exceeded one standard deviation of historic year-to-year variability.Read More →

The Supply Chain of CO2 Emissions

January 2011
Steven Joseph Davis, Glen P. Peters, Ken Caldeira
PNAS
This study presents a consistent set of carbon inventories that spans the full supply chain of global CO2 emissions and reveals vulnerabilities and benefits related to current patterns of energy use relevant to climate and energy policy. Read More →

Specific Climate Impact of Passenger and Freight Transport

July 2010
Jens Borken-Kleefeld, Terje Berntsen, and Jan Fuglestvedt
Environmental Science and Technology
This peer-reviewed study uses global climate models to determine the net climate impact of various modes of transportation. Climate impact of transportation can vary over time because of competing cooling and warming effects. Read More →

Consumption-Based Accounting of CO2 Emissions

March 2010
Steven J. Davis, Ken Caldeira
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences in the United States of America
This paper presents a global consumption-based CO2 emissions inventory and calculations of associated consumption-based energy and carbon intensities.Read More →

Detection and attribution of climate change: a regional perspective

March 2010
Peter A. Stott, Nathan P. Gillett, Gabriele C. Hegerl, David J. Karoly, Dáithí A. Stone, Xuebin Zhang, Francis Zwiers
Wiley Online Library
This paper reviews evidence of anthropogenic forcings from a regional perspective to reflect a growing interest in understanding the regional effects of climate change, which can differ markedly across the globe.Read More →
