Adaptation to Climate Change: Re-examining climate and development risks

Consequences of climate change.

1-P-D-Arabinofuranosylcytosine (Ara-C) at a concentration which inhibits nuclear-DNA reduplication (0.05 gM), enhances mitochondrial activities like respiration, in cells of a human leukaemic cell line Molt 4. While the specific activity of cytochrome c oxidase doubles in the course of the GI phase of the cell cycle in control cells, in the presence of Ara-C G, phase cells begin to increase the...

Assessing climate change causes, risks and opportunities in forestry

Forests play an important role in regulating the global climate by storing carbon that would otherwise be released as CO2 to the atmosphere, and affecting the global energy balance through absorption of solar radiation. Forests are also affected directly by the impact of increased CO2 levels and temperatures on ecosystem processes, and indirectly by human responses seeking to mitigate the net e...

Adaptation and Climate Change

This paper deals with the often ignored issue of adaptation to human-induced climate change. Adaptation is not only inevitable but essential to fashioning the least-social-cost strategy to addressing climate change. The urgency for limiting climate change is inversely proportional to society's adaptability. Some limitation strategies are incompatible with adaptation goals (e.g., reducing CO2 ra...
