Climate change, growth and sustainability: the ideological context

It is widely accepted within the climate change research community that climate change should be addressed through a combination of mitigation and adaptation. However, within government and society at large the costs of mitigation and adaptation, and consequently the extent to which these strategies should be pursued, are hotly contested.

Corporate funding and ideological polarization about climate change.

Drawing on large-scale computational data and methods, this research demonstrates how polarization efforts are influenced by a patterned network of political and financial actors. These dynamics, which have been notoriously difficult to quantify, are illustrated here with a computational analysis of climate change politics in the United States. The comprehensive data include all individual and ...

We noted that during the 2000 La Niña year there was a 77.1% decrease ...
