Global warming: Improve economic models of climate change.
On 31 March, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released its latest report on the impacts of climate change on humans and ecosystems (see go.nature.com/ad5v1b). These are real risks that need to be accounted for in planning for adaptation and mitigation. Pricing the risks with integrated models of physics and economics lets their costs be compared to those of limiting climate ...
متن کاملModelling Climate Change Adaptation Measures to Reduce Overheating Risk in Existing Dwellings
Overheating during hot summers is a major risk which will increase under climate change. Thermal dynamic modelling is used to compare the current overheating risk of typical residential properties in the UK with the future overheating risk for the middle decades of this century, i.e. the period 20402069. A wide range of passive and low-energy climate change adaptation measures which could be re...
متن کاملClassification of Russia’s Forests in Relation to Global Climate Warming
This study involves investigating the sensitivity to temperature of Russia’s forest communities. Factors taken into consideration were mean annual temperature; standard deviation and temperature tolerance limits covering forests across the country. A new numerical classification of forest, related to predicted global climate warming (GCW) has been developed based on cluster analyses. New temper...
متن کاملConstraint to adaptive evolution in response to global warming.
We characterized the genetic architecture of three populations of a native North American prairie plant in field conditions that simulate the warmer and more arid climates predicted by global climate models. Despite genetic variance for traits under selection, among-trait genetic correlations that are antagonistic to the direction of selection limit adaptive evolution within these populations. ...
متن کاملSimulation of global warming effect on outdoor thermal comfort conditions
In the coming decades, global warming and increase in temperature, in different regions of the world, may change indoor and outdoor thermal comfort conditions and human health. The aim of this research was to study the effects of global warming on thermal comfort conditions in indoor ambiences in Iran. To study the increase in temperature, model for assessment of greenhouse-gas induced climate ...
