Based on this review, it considers whether climate change strengthens the case for population policies. The book provides overview chapters aimed at nonspecialists on climate change, populat...
متن کاملPopulation adiposity and climate change.
BACKGROUND The increasing global prevalence of overweight and obesity has serious implications for the environment, as well as for health. We estimate the impact on greenhouse gas emissions of increases in the population distribution of body mass index (BMI). METHODS We estimated the food energy required to maintain basal metabolic rate in two hypothetical adult populations using the Schofiel...
متن کاملClimate change hastens population extinctions.
Climate change is expected to alter the distribution and abundance of many species. Predictions of climate-induced population extinctions are supported by geographic range shifts that correspond to climatic warming, but few extinctions have been linked mechanistically to climate change. Here we show that extinctions of two populations of a checkerspot butterfly were hastened by increasing varia...
