Millets for Next Generation Climate-Smart Agriculture
Panicoids (subfamily: panicoideae) are a group of C4 grasses, which include agronomically important crops such as sorghum and maize, bioenergy feedstocks including sugarcane and miscanthus, nutri-cereals such as millets, and biofuel crops including switchgrass, napier grass and guinea grass. Among these, millets are known for their climate-resilient features including adaptation to a wide range...
متن کاملClimate. To hedge or not against an uncertain climate future?
I t has been over a decade since Nordhaus (1) published his seminal paper on mitigation policy for climate change. His question was “To slow or not to slow?”; his answer was derived from a traditional costbenefit approach. He found that a tax levied on fossil fuel in proportion to its carbon content, which would climb over time at roughly the rate of interest, maximized global welfare. Although...

متن کاملDynamical influences on European climate: an uncertain future.
Climate science is coming under increasing pressure to deliver projections of future climate change at spatial scales as small as a few kilometres for use in impacts studies. But is our understanding and modelling of the climate system advanced enough to offer such predictions? Here we focus on the Atlantic-European sector, and on the effects of greenhouse gas forcing on the atmospheric and, to...
متن کاملThe uncertain future of climate uncertainty
Strong scientific consensus prevails over the fact that Earth’s climate is currently warming and will be warming further over the coming decades, as a consequence of the radiative perturbation caused by anthropogenic greenhousegas (GHG) emissions. The conclusions of the IPCC’s Fourth Assessment Report (AR4: Solomon et al. [2007], [AR4] hereafter) further buttress this consensus. There is, howev...
